Low-Carb Zucchini Cookie Recipe
From the kitchen of Dr. Randall S. Hansen What follows is a very easy recipe for making delicious no-sugar, low-carb cookies -- with or without low-carb cream cheese frosting. It takes about 2 hours to complete this recipe, with 25 minutes of prep time, 1 hour for batter to cool, and 15-20 minutes of baking. IngredientsOptional Frosting: low-carb (no-sugar) baking chips to sprinkle on top1 cup of erythritol granular (you could also use Stevia or other non-sugar sweetener) 1 cup of Swerve brown sugar blend 3 sticks of butter (but you can use light olive oil, applesauce, or some combination as an alternative for most of the butter) 2 eggs 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (all-natural, sugar-free) 2 cups low-carb baking mix (such as Bob's Red Mill) 2 1/2 teaspoons of ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon of baking soda 1 teaspoon of baking powder 2 cups shredded zucchini 2 cups of 7-grain cereal flakes 1 cup chopped nuts (we use pecans, but walnuts work well also)
Directions16 ounce package of cream cheese (room temperature) 1 cup of erythritol granular or powdered
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In large bowl, mix together erythritol and butter until well blended. Add eggs and vanilla.
- Next, add the low-carb baking mix, cinnamon, baking powder, and baking soda.
- Finally, fold in the zucchini bits and nuts.
- Refrigerate batter until firm -- about 1 hour.
- Using an ice-cream scoop or large spoon, place dough on cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the edges of the cookies are golden brown.
- Cool on a wire rack.
- If also making the frosting, whip cream cheese and Splenda together and spread a heaping teaspoon onto each cooled cookie.
