Flourless Keto Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies – A Holiday Favorite!

The holiday season often brings a flurry of baking, but for those navigating new dietary paths, traditional cookie recipes can be more of a challenge than a treat. Last year, as I began my journey of going dairy-free and egg-free, I was determined to craft a cookie that didn’t compromise on taste, texture, or indulgence.

The result? These Flourless Keto Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies. They’re fudgy, deeply chocolaty, and so satisfyingly chewy that you’d never guess they’re free of dairy, eggs, and traditional flour.

And the best part? These cookies are not only allergy-friendly and vegan but also keto-friendly—perfect for those of us who love a sweet treat without the sugar spike!

Ingredients – My Tried-and-True Combo

Here’s what you’ll need to make these dreamy, double chocolatey bites:

  • 1 cup natural almond butter (make sure it’s well-stirred for easy mixing!)
  • 2/3 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener (or your favorite keto-friendly powdered sweetener)
  • 4 tablespoons unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free vegan dark chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon melted Earth Balance soy-free, dairy-free butter
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • A splash of vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

My Secret Swaps

These cookies are my go-to because they check all the boxes—fudgy, sweet, and low in sugar. A few key swaps make them extra special:

Applesauce Instead of Eggs – Moistens the dough and holds it together, perfect for egg-free baking.

Earth Balance Dairy-Free Butter – Adds that rich, buttery flavor without any dairy (and keeps them vegan!).

Almond Butter as the Base – No need for almond flour or coconut flour—almond butter does all the heavy lifting.

Double Chocolate Punch – Cocoa powder plus chocolate chips = total bliss!


Instructions – How to Make the Best Flourless Keto Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Let’s get baking!

1️⃣ Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2️⃣ Combine Wet Ingredients – In a large bowl, stir together the almond butter, powdered monk fruit sweetener, applesauce, melted Earth Balance butter, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

3️⃣ Add Dry Ingredients – Mix in the unsweetened cocoa powder and baking powder until everything is fully combined.

4️⃣ Fold in the Chocolate Chips – Gently stir in the sugar-free vegan chocolate chips.

5️⃣ Scoop & Shape – Using a tablespoon or cookie scoop, portion out the dough onto your baking sheet. Space them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading.

6️⃣ Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the edges are set but the centers are still soft.

7️⃣ Cool & Enjoy – Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes (they’ll firm up!) before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Want to make your cookie dreams even more convenient? Here’s how to enjoy these on repeat:
