THM Coconut Oatmeal Cookies; Sugar Free, Low Carb

These cookies taste just like the real thing!

Jump to Recipe

Do you miss the cozy and delicious aroma of oatmeal cookies baking in the oven since starting your sugar free journey? How about biting into one all nice and warm, or dunking it in tea without it falling apart?

Baking sugar and gluten free cookies can be challenging! I consider them the trickiest recipes to convert. But it can be done!

 I grew very tired of making low carb cookies that ended up dry little lumps of nothingness, lol. So I decided to make my own recipes. I promise you that this recipe will make you smile in satisfaction and you’ll never miss the regular sugar kind of oatmeal cookie again.

What is the trick to low carb cookies that don’t fall apart?

The dilemma in making low carb cookies is how to mimic gluten [that holds them together] without any gluten lol.

I do this with a blend of ingredients like xanthan gum, psyllium husks, oat fiber and gelatin! You may think the ingredient list is long, but it doesn’t take that many extra steps and you probably already have everything on the list if you do Trim Healthy Mama!

You can dunk these cookies!

Yep, you heard that right! Once these cookies have cooled they are perfect for dunking!

Can you make substitutions? Maybe one….

Please don’t message me asking if you can use all baking blend or all almond flour or leave out the gelatin. Wink.

This cookie is the real deal ya’ll and I have a reason for every ingredient. You can definitely play around if you want, but that is up to you!

I’m gonna be making them as written because I’ve already had to do all the testing to get them to taste like this. I’ve had to add more of this, less of that, cut things out altogether, and this is what I ended up with.

However, one lady told me that she substituted xanthan gum with glucomannan powder in one of my cookie recipes and that worked!

I have also used all Gentle Sweet when I didn’t have the Lakanto Golden sweetener, and that tasted good, they just won’t have quite such a true brown sugar oatmeal cookie taste.

Why are these cookies a THM S when they have oats in them?

You can have a small amount of oats without going over the carb limit for S meals. Stick with three of these cookies and you won’t have to worry about crossing over!

These cookies are also great for pregnant or nursing mamas that can stand more carbs and S Helpers or Crossovers.

This recipe makes a normal amount!

Tired of low carb cookie recipes that give you about eight cookies? Lol. This recipes makes over 30! It is a full sixed batch, just like the sugary kind. And they also freeze very well.

THM Coconut Oatmeal Cookies Recipe:

Ingredients:

¾ cup softened butter

½ cup Lakanto Golden Monkfruit sweetener

½ cup Gentle Sweet

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon coconut extract

½ cup Baking Blend

¾ cup almond flour

2 teaspoons gelatin

½ teaspoon xanthan gum

1 teaspoon psyllium husks

½ teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon cinnamon

1 ½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes

½ cup rolled oats

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cream together the butter and sweeteners. Add the eggs and extracts and beat in.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together all the dry ingredients. Add them to the wet and stir in well and then let the dough sit for 5 minutes to firm up a bit as the dry ingredients absorb the wet.
4. Roll into approximately 35 balls . Flatten slightly with a fork. You can dip your fork in almond flour to keep it from sticking.
5. Bake cookies for 13 minutes or until slightly golden brown. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to cooling racks to cool completely.
