Red Food Coloring

In case you are freaked out to add that much red dye food coloring to your cookies, you can add a smaller amount or just omit it completely; however, your keto red velvet cookies won’t have the characteristic red color. You do have to add a lot of red food dye in order to achieve a true red velvet color. Any less and your cookies will look more brown than red. They will still taste amazing if you choose to omit the red dye.

Sugar-Free White Chocolate Chips

The combination of white chocolate chips and red velvet flavoring should not be overlooked. You must add in some sugar-free white chocolate chips into these soft, chewy keto cookies. The butter, sweet white chocolate pairs perfectly with the slightly tangy red velvet cake cookies.

Keto Red Velvet Cookies: FAQS

Can I substitute the almond flour for another type of flour?

Almond flour is a key ingredient for keeping these cookies low-carb and keto-friendly. However, if you need a substitute, you can try using sunflower seed flour, but keep in mind that it may alter the flavor and texture.

What can I use instead of monk fruit blend sweetener?

You can use erythritol or stevia as a substitute for monk fruit blend sweetener. Just be sure to adjust the quantity, as some sweeteners are sweeter than others.

How should I store these keto red velvet cookies?

Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. For longer storage, you can keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Is it necessary to use red food coloring?

The red food coloring is optional. It gives the cookies their signature red velvet look, but you can skip it if you prefer a more natural appearance or if you want to keep it completely keto-friendly.

Are these cookies suitable for a gluten-free diet?

Yes, these keto red velvet cookies are gluten-free since they are made with almond flour and coconut flour, which do not contain gluten.

  1. Just made these. They turned out so good. They didn’t fall apart at all. When you let them cool, they stay together. One of my favorite recipes from you.

  2. Not all sugar-free white chocolate chips are created equal! I used Bake Believe brand and they ‘melted.’ I had small craters of liquid where the chip was. For the next pan I tediously picked out all the chips, baked, removed from oven then topped with 3-4 chips. Tasty but fell apart easily. Will bake again and try another brand of chips.

    1. Glad you enjoyed the recipe! I haven’t heard of that brand of chocolate chips. The brand I always recommend and use is by ChocZero. I haven’t had any issues with these. They bake like regular chocolate chips. Lily’s is another good choice. But yes, you can add the chips after you have molded the cookies. Remember to let them cool completely before handling your cookies or they will fall apart.
