Nowadays, many people choose to follow gluten-free, ketogenic and low-carb diets for their health. So what are these diets?
Gluten-Free Diet
Gluten-free diet involves eating foods that do not contain gluten which is a protein found in wheat, barley and rye. People with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity follow this diet. A gluten-free diet helps improve gut health and can alleviate a variety of digestive problems. It helps eliminate symptoms such as allergies, indigestion and inflammation caused by gluten.
Ketogenic Diet
Ketogenic diet is a diet characterized by very low carbohydrate and high fat content. The body begins to use fats as an energy source instead of carbohydrates, resulting in weight loss and an increase in energy levels. It eliminates insulin resistance and the inflammation it causes. The ketogenic diet focuses on low-carb foods and healthy fats, which keeps blood sugar balanced.

Low Carb Diet
Low-carb diet limits carbohydrate consumption, allowing the body to burn more fat for energy. This diet may help control blood sugar levels and promote weight loss. It contains more carbohydrates and less fat than the ketogenic diet, but its effect is slower. Particular attention should be paid to the protein ratio in the diet.
Gluten-Free + Keto Cookies: A Healthy Alternative
Low-carb snacks, such as gluten-free cookies, are essential for maintaining such diets.
These cookies, prepared without using sugar, are also suitable for ketogenic and low-carb diets, thanks to their low carbohydrate content. A gluten-free diet improves intestinal health and helps keep blood sugar under control.
I used coconut and almond flour together in the gluten-free cookie recipe. Thus, it had a much richer aroma.

How to Make Coconut Almond Gluten Free Cookies?
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1/3 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup (55 g) coconut oil, (melted)
- 1/3 cup (80 g) milk
- 8 tbsp sweetener (erythritol, monk fruit or stevia)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 2 tbsp of cocoa
- 1 tsp cinnamon powder
- 1 tsp pumpkin spice (optional)
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp baking powder + 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp vinegar or lemon juice
- 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts
- 1 egg
Note: Bring the ingredients to room temperature. If you add cold ingredients to coconut oil, it will solidify quickly and it will be difficult to obtain a homogeneous dough.
Coconut Almond Gluten Free Cookies Recipe:
1.Step: Preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F).
2.Step: Put all the dry ingredients (coconut flour, almond flour, cocoa, cinnamon, salt) in a mixing bowl and mix.
3.Step: Add liquid ingredients (egg, milk, coconut oil, vanilla) and walnuts. Lastly, add the baking powder and baking soda and pour lemon juice or vinegar on it.
***If you don’t have English baking soda, you can leave it out.
***You can quickly melt coconut oil in the microwave on the highest setting in 30-second intervals.
4.Step: Mix everything. You will get a sticky dough. Coconut flour will absorb a high amount of liquid and solidify the dough. We need to wait a bit for this. Leave the dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
5.Step: When the waiting time is over, quickly shape the solidified dough. Make them into small rounds and place them on the tray. I recommend keeping it in the fridge for another 10 minutes before pressing it with a fork.
6.Step: Flatten the cookies by pressing them with a fork. They become crispier this way. Place it in the oven preheated to fan setting. After 15 minutes, your gluten-free cookies are ready. (If you cook without a fan, you will need to cook for longer.)
7.Step: Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on the tray.
