Why Cinnamon Almond Cookies Are Perfect for Keto
Cookies and keto don’t usually go hand-in-hand, but these cinnamon almond cookies are made with ingredients that fit well within a low-carb eating style. The key lies in using the right flour and fats—no sugar, no white flour, and definitely no additives.
Here’s what makes them so special:
- Almond Flour Instead of All-Purpose Flour
Almond flour is a staple in keto baking. It’s low in carbs and gives a mildly nutty taste that works beautifully in cookies. Plus, it creates a soft texture that doesn’t feel heavy or overly dense.
- Warm Flavor of Keto Cinnamon
Cinnamon adds not just flavor but also that comforting, cozy aroma we all love. Using high-quality keto cinnamon helps you enjoy a warm sweetness without needing extra sugar or syrups.
- Fueling with Sandhu’s MCT Oil Powder
This is where the recipe truly stands out. By adding 1 scoop of Sandhu’s MCT Oil Powder, you’re making your cookies healthier while also adding a source of clean fuel. This keto friendly MCT powder helps support your daily fat intake and blends smoothly into the batter.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s your shopping list for around 12 cookies:
- 1½ cups almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 scoop Sandhu’s MCT Oil Powder
- 2 teaspoons keto cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (melted)
- ⅓ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional:
- A sprinkle of cinnamon-erythritol mix on top before baking
Step-by-Step Instructions
Let’s get baking! This recipe is beginner-friendly and doesn’t require any fancy equipment—just a baking sheet, a bowl, and a spatula.
Step 1: Prep Your Oven and Baking Sheet
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line your baking sheet with parchment paper so the cookies don’t stick.
Step 2: Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, Sandhu’s MCT Oil Powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well so everything is evenly blended.
Step 3: Blend the Wet Ingredients
In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter and sweetener until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla extract, and mix again until well combined.
Step 4: Combine Wet and Dry Mixes
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until a soft dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but hold together easily.
Step 5: Shape the Cookies
Scoop about a tablespoon of dough and roll it into a ball. Place each one on the baking sheet and flatten slightly with your fingers or the back of a spoon. Repeat until all the dough is used.
If you want a little extra cinnamon flavor, sprinkle the tops with your optional cinnamon-erythritol blend.
Step 6: Bake and Cool
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Let the cookies sit on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack.
Storage and Snacking Tips
These cookies stay fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for about 4–5 days. You can also store them in the fridge if you prefer a firmer texture.

Why Add MCT Oil Powder to Cookies?
If you’re new to MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides), they’re fats that are easy to digest and quickly turned into fuel by the body. Sandhu’s keto friendly MCT powder mixes smoothly into the dough, helping support your keto goals in a simple way.
So yes—your cookies can do more than just taste good. They can also be part of your daily keto lifestyle.
