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.

There are so many plusses in this recipe. They sound delicious!
Is there any sugar free receipies without Stevia or other artificial sweetener?
Thank u
Not really. I use stevia in all my dessert recipes. Stevia is not artificial. Feel free to remove and add your sugar of choice.
Chocolate and coconut…..I love the combination!
Coconut and chocolate is a match made in heaven!!!! I love these, and they’re so pretty and puffy too!
Ooooh these look and sound amazing! Perfect flavor combination!
I’m with everyone else – love chocolate and coconut together!
is it okay to use powdered stevia in place of liquid and swerve?
Loving these cookies! I am nuts for coconut anything so these are a perfect healthier option!
Oh such delicious looking chocolate treats and they are dairy free. Yay, this is our kind of treat.
There’s some great information here and of course the bonus is the cookies! They look delicious!
Is there a brand of liquid Stevia you prefer over the other?
It’s linked under my notes above the recipe.
I’m definitely a fan of chocolate and love it even more when it’s paired with coconut. These sound so good!
I’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!
these sound delicious but my son can’t tolerate coconut…. is there anything else i could replace it with? x
I don’t have sunflower on hand, can I sub coconut oil or grapeseed oil in this recipe, instead?
Yes any other oil should work fine.
i 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?
I don’t ever notice a cooling effect with the Swerve but you could try reducing the Swerve and increasing the stevia.
What if you replaced the chocolate for protein powder, then they would be blondie/coconut cookies?
