Flourless Sugar Free Chocolate Coconut Cookies made low carb, grain free, gluten free, dairy free and sugar free!
Any chocolate lover’s reading today?
I sure am!
I think I know exactly one person in my life that is not a fan of chocolate.
All I can say to that is, HUH? WHAT? Seriously? You’ve got to be kidding? If you’re not a fan of chocolate than this recipe is certainly not for you.
As my life and eating habits have changed to a more low carb life style, my recipes now reflect this change. While still always sugar free there is a difference between sugar free and sugar free and low carb. I encourage you to read the post, Sugar-Free Versus Low Carb: What’s The Difference, in case you are unsure.
I was recently browsing through my huge archive of recipes and found my Flourless Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies. I knew I needed a low carb version.
Now obviously you can’t make oats low in carbs, they just aren’t. BUT the replacement of oats CAN be made into a successful flourless cookie and the one you see before your eyes today.
I can tell you my kids ate these up like nobodies business! Next time I will need to make a double batch! I think they are even better than my oatmeal ones!
If you are browsing through my Recipe Index and happen to see a higher carb sugar free recipe and would love an adaption to make it low carb, please let me know!
Brenda’s Notes:
- You can use any oil you want to replace the sunflower oil I used.
- If you can’t find sugar free chocolate chips, use the highest grade chocolate bar you can find and melt it in or chop it up.
- If you don’t use stevia you can increase the Swerve to 1 cup.
- Here’s the link to the liquid stevia I use.

May 7, 2015 at 2:58 pmIs there any sugar free receipies without Stevia or other artificial sweetener?
Thank u
Brenda says
May 7, 2015 at 3:11 pmNot really. I use stevia in all my dessert recipes. Stevia is not artificial. Feel free to remove and add your sugar of choice.
Gabby says
October 24, 2017 at 5:47 pmCan you just remove the stevia and sugar altogether or does it make the recipe not as thick or whatever 👍
Brenda says
October 25, 2017 at 7:38 amYou could remove the liquid stevia here as it does not add any bulk to the recipe, but the Swerve does effect the cookie. You’d need to replace it with another granulated sugar free sweetener of choice. By the way, Swerve is not sugar.

May 11, 2015 at 6:40 pmI’m not surprised that your kids would gobble these up. I know I would too. Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to have to try these!
shirley says
May 21, 2015 at 10:33 amthese sound delicious but my son can’t tolerate coconut…. is there anything else i could replace it with? x
Debbie Gabe says
July 6, 2015 at 6:58 pmI don’t have sunflower on hand, can I sub coconut oil or grapeseed oil in this recipe, instead?
Brenda says
July 7, 2015 at 7:10 amYes any other oil should work fine.
Melissa says
October 20, 2015 at 3:30 pmi loved the combo of chocolate and coconut! But I definitely had a cooling aftertaste. My only replacement was coconut oil. I used swerve and Stevia Select vanilla liquid. Any advice?
Brenda says
October 21, 2015 at 5:53 amI don’t ever notice a cooling effect with the Swerve but you could try reducing the Swerve and increasing the stevia.
Terri says
November 11, 2015 at 5:38 pmWhat if you replaced the chocolate for protein powder, then they would be blondie/coconut cookies?
