This keto oatmeal cookie is wholesome, sweet, & hard to beat--and uses hemp hearts!
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour, super fine
- 1/2 cup hulled hemp seeds (a.k.a. hemp hearts)
- 3/4 cup finely diced walnuts (I buy Diamond, finely-diced)
- 2 tablespoons flax meal
- 1 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener (check the post for sweetener suggestions)
- 8 tablespoons (4 oz.) butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a medium bowl, mix together dry ingredients: almond flour, hemp seeds, walnuts, flax meal, xanthan gum, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set aside.
3
In a separate bowl, using an electric hand mixer, cream together sweetener of choice, softened butter, egg, and vanilla.
4
Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Using a hand mixer on low speed or a wooden spoon, gently combine ingredients until well blended.
5
Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, drop cookie dough onto lined baking sheet.
- For allulose, be sure that you leave at least 3 inches between dropped cookie dough as the dough will spread as it cooks.
- For erythritol, you must flatten the dough prior to baking as it will not spread on its own. Press down with your thumb or a fork until dough is 2-3 inches in diameter (about 1/2 inch thick).
6
Place cookies in a preheated oven.
- For allulose: Bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges begin to brown.
- For erythritol: Bake for 15 minutes.
7
Once cooked, wait at least 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Cookie texture is best when cooled completely.
8
Storage:
- For allulose: I prefer storing these cookies in the refrigerator. Although counter storage is fine, I feel the texture is best right out of the fridge.
- For erythritol: Store at room temperature.

Enjoy!
Additional Notes
Both varieties can be frozen. I often freeze half the batch after they're finished cooling to have tasty keto oatmeal cookies available when a sweet craving strikes. Surprisingly, I enjoy eating them slightly frozen in addition to thawed.
Nutritional values were calculated using allulose.
Regarding Nutritional Information: Allulose carb values are shown in the nutritional breakdown under sugar alcohols. While allulose is NOT a sugar alcohol, we deem it can be subtracted from total carbs to determine the net carb value. Researchers have found allulose to have no impact on blood glucose levels.
