Keto Cranberry Orange Cookies

My keto cranberry orange cookies were partly inspired by my Keto tangy cream cheese lemon cookies. If you haven’t tried my lemon cookies, I encourage you to do so ASAP. Because these should also be included in your Keto Christmas cookie roundup.

I really try my best to listen to my reader’s suggestions. Which is why when they ask for more low-carb, keto-friendly recipes, that are also nut-free, I do my best to deliver. I truly hope that my nut-free friends will give my keto cranberry orange cookies a try.

During the Holidays, we all tend to indulge at least a little. Because of this, you might want to arm yourself with enough Keto Recipes to keep you compliant.

One way we can get off track during the holidays on a keto diet, is over consuming nuts, in the way of nut flours. Because of this, even individuals who do not have a nut allergy can appreciate these keto cranberry orange cookies.

Coconut Flour Keto Cookies

But why coconut flour as a flour alternative? Well, coconut flour is not actually a flour in the traditional sense. Do you know that coconut flour actually has no grains, no nuts, and is made completely of pure coconut? This makes for a great nut-free low carb baking flour.

The Process of Making Coconut Flour

In order to make a coconut into a flour-like consistency, there are some important steps that need to be had. First, you have to separate the coconut milk from the coconut meat, and then bake the coconut that is extracted until it completely dries out.

At that point, you can mill the dry coconut meat and be left with a powder that resembles flour. Although you cannot substitute coconut flour cup for cup for regular flour, it is a viable solution once you learn how to bake with it.

Coconut Flour, A Favorite In The Health Community

Coconut flour is a favorite in the low carb, keto, paleo community as well as those who need to eat a gluten-free diet.  Coconut flour is easy to digest which is why anyone with a nut-allergy can appreciate this nut-free flour option.

If all that isn’t enough to convince you, how about the added benefit that coconut flour is also less expensive than nut-flours? During the holidays, we can all appreciate some added savings, which is why these Keto Cranberry Orange Cookies will make a great addition to your Christmas cookie platter.

My Favorite Keto Hack

If you have been struggling to get into ketosis and it has been a challenge to stay on a low carb keto diet. Can I introduce you to the use of exogenous ketone?

Do you know that you can now drink ketones and enter into ketosis?

Using exogenous ketone supplementation can place you in a state of ketosis. 

You can actually test your ketones in less than an hour after drinking and see your ketone levels rise.

Why is this powerful? Elevated ketones mean you will see a major reduction in appetite, carb cravings, and sustained energy. This makes the low carb keto lifestyle a viable sustainable option.
