Keto Apple Fritter Cookies Second

While it may seem odd, the texture is almost identical, and this recipe leans into flavor with delectable coconut flour, cream cheese, and cinnamon. These come up crispy on the outside and impossibly chewy and gooey when you bite in.  

This recipe makes 12, so you will have divinely light treats for days. You can take Keto Apple Fritter Cookies to work as a sweet pick-me-up for morning or afternoon tea or use these as a delightful dessert option. We guarantee the whole family will love these! 

Zucchini has all sorts of health benefits and a very high water content. You will get anti-inflammatory phytonutrients and antioxidants with every mouthful. Plus, this classic summer squash contains a hefty serving of folate, vitamins C, B6, and K, and minerals like manganese for optimum brain function.

Coconut flour lends a fluffy texture to these Keto Apple Fritter Cookies, and combining it with almond flour means these tasty treats pack a protein punch. The glaze is a heady mix of vanilla and heavy cream, and swapping sugar for powdered allulose means you needn’t feel guilty as you drizzle it on. This keto recipe will satisfy the sweetest tooth, so keep these cookies on hand for when the cravings hit and you want to maintain your low-carb lifestyle.
