Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/3 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup granulated sweetener (erythritol recommended)
  • 1/4 cup chocolate whey protein powder (or egg white protein powder)
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 large egg (room temperature)
  • 1/3 cup butter (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 2 to 3 tbsp heavy cream

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated sweetener, chocolate whey protein powder, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gradually add the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the batter is thick but still spoonable.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each. Slightly flatten each mound.
  5. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are set and the centers are slightly soft. Let cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. Once cooled, spread your favorite keto peanut butter filling (not included in this recipe's ingredients but essential for whoopie pies!) on the flat side of half the cookies. Top with the remaining cookies to form whoopie pies.
  7. Serve immediately or refrigerate for later enjoyment.

Notes

- For the creamiest peanut butter filling, ensure your peanut butter is smooth and at room temperature before mixing.
- If your batter seems too thick, add a tiny bit more heavy cream, a teaspoon at a time, until it reaches a spoonable consistency.
- Store any leftover keto whoopie pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
- When baking, ensure the centers are just set; overbaking can lead to dry cookies. They will firm up as they cool.
