These Easy Pumpkin Cookies are a delight to make and enjoy this holiday season. Just a few ingredients for these gluten free, low carb, keto, nut free, sugar free macaroons!
Keto Macaroons
It's just the start of pumpkin season so let's begin with an easy keto recipe! Just 6 ingredients, not including salt, and just 15 minutes of baking time for a delicious pumpkin keto cookie recipe! Super easy keto recipe and also just plain delicious, but if you're just not into pumpkin I do also have an easy keto vanilla coconut macaroon you might like.
Before we move on Christmas pies and dessert, I had to bring you one these keto pumpkin macaroons! Chocolate drizzle is totally optional, but really make these party worthy, especially for the Thanksgiving Dessert table, don't you think?
Keto Pumpkin Stevia
I've never met a cookie I didn't like so when I stopped sugar in my life about 16 years ago I was so sad I might never get to enjoy my favorites. But then I started creating recipes using stevia and my whole world changed for the better! You can use any sweetener you prefer, but my favorite has always been Sweetleaf liquid flavored stevias and today we use Pumpkin Stevia and it is divine!
Macaroons are not only a favorite of mine, but my daddy's too and I love seeing his expression when I recreate familiar recipes in a healthy-no sugar-way. He's always impressed and in a way, shocked! This round up has over 60 recipes for Thanksgiving that are all sugar-free and low carb!

I love what you do and I love so many of your recipes and even got the little rolling pen like you have for crackers from one of your videos. That being said I had to throw this out it was so bad. I am not even going to attempt it with another sweetener. I don’t like baking with Stevia alone usually but I thought Stevia’s OK I use it in other things. No way go, crash and burn. Also it was a little too runny at first so I’m thinking my egg whites were pretty large.

Brenda

Brenda
Not able to click the link? It's working fine for me and goes directly to the recipe on the Sweetleaf site. https://sweetleaf.com/stevia-recipes/low-carb-pumpkin-macaroons/

Do you think I could use Xylitol instead of stevia? I have tried over and over again to use stevia in my recipes and I just do not like it!
Brenda
I hope you'll try again, I believe you will love the flavored pumpkin stevia in these, but yes you could use any sweetener you like to taste.
Jenny
I have found I like Swerv much better than Stevia.

I know this was asked several years ago, but hopefully you know Xylitol is HIGHLY toxic to dogs. Please be extremely careful if you decide to ever use it. I avoid it all costs.
