33 Best Low Carb Desserts

From cookies to cakes to puddings, oh my!

If you don’t see the dessert you’re craving, be sure to leave me a comment below so I can work up a recipe, or do some taste testing for you.

NOTE: I MUCH prefer homemade low carb desserts recipes vs. storebought products! They save SO.MUCH.MONEY! (As I’m sure you know, keto all the rage…) and, in my opinion, homemade always tastes better! But I wanted to share both, so you can decide for yourself.

Here are the 33 best Low Carb Desserts:

Low Carb Cookies

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to low carb desserts, low carb cookies are what I crave the MOST! Not only do they taste amazing, but they also make your house smell incredible and feel cozy!

With a few simple swaps, you can make healthy cookies that taste just like the carb-heavy kind. Check out all my faves.

Tried and True Recipes:

• Almond Flour Shortbread Cookies give buttery shortbread a makeover with chewy, nutty almond flour. You’ll never want to make shortbread with wheat flour again!
• Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies are so soft, so protein-packed, and so yummy that I call them breakfast cookies just so I can get away with eating them all day! Plus, if you through in some dried fruit, they’re basically granola bars.
• Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookies. Sometimes, you just need a classic! Baking magic makes these treats both low carb and gluten-free options. Low carb never tasted so good!
• Almond Flour Sugar Cookies are a great base recipe for those tried and true sugar cookie needs. Want something simple to go with tea or after a heavy meal? Go for these cookies!
• Low Carb No Bake Cookies are always a treat! Chewy and chocolatey, nutty and rich, you’ll wonder how these can possibly be low carb. But they are! It’ll be our little secret.

Best Low Carb Cookie to Buy:

My preferred cookies to grab on Amazon are the High Key brand. They come in a handful of delicious flavors, chocolate chip, brownie cookies, and snickerdoodles. The chocolate chip cookies have 1 net carb per serving!

I liken these to Famous Amos — if you’re looking for soft and pillowy cookies, check out my homemade recipes above!
