What is Nutella?

Nutella is a delectable spread crafted by the famous Pietro Ferraro during the early 1960s. The creamy spread features flavors from cocoa, or chocolate, and hazelnut. While many people love this tasty snack, traditional Nutella does contain high contents of carbohydrates and sugar. Instead, we use a sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread for this keto-friendly recipe. There are a few brands out there that make the spread, including Lakanto and ChocZero.

I prefer to use ChocZero’s sugar-free chocolate hazelnut spread as it does not contain any palm oil or soluble corn syrup. There is only 1 g net carb per serving with this brand. Since their spread is palm oil free and isn’t made using soluble corn fiber so it is great for those concerned with rainforest depletion or corn allergies. However, the ChocZero chocolate hazelnut spread is made with fructooligosaccharide (FOS) which can cause stomach discomfort. Lakanto is another brand making a similar product. They make Suntella which is a chocolate sunflower spread. It doesn’t contain FOS but is higher in carbs.

Another option, if you didn’t have a keto nutella, is to use peanut butter or almond butter. It would provide a creamy replacement. There are some recipes for a homemade nutella too.

Portion Controlled

These single serve keto cookies are the best way to curb your sweet tooth cravings without any guilt. Portion controlled desserts are a great way to limit the amount of sweet desserts you make as you are only making enough for one or two. Plus, since keto-friendly ingredients tend to be more expensive, this method satisfies your pocket just as much as your taste buds.

Option to Bake

There are several ways to whip up these scrumptious keto cookies. While baking them in the air fryer or microwave may be the fastest, these cookies can easily be prepared in the oven. Just be sure to allow the cooled keto Nutella cookies to bake for approximately six to eight minutes. However, you bake them, make sure you let these keto cookies cool completely. They are very fragile and soft to the touch so wait a little bit to pick them up, unless you want to enjoy a warm cookie with a fork.  Additionally, baking these cookies in the oven will also leave your kitchen smelling just like your favorite local bakery!
