Benefits of the Main Ingredients
Almond Flour
Almond flour is naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in healthy fats, vitamin E, magnesium, and manganese. It creates a soft, tender texture while making these cookies naturally gluten-free.
Peanut Butter
Natural peanut butter provides healthy fats, plant-based protein, magnesium, niacin, and vitamin E. Choosing a peanut butter made from just peanuts (and optionally salt) helps avoid unnecessary added sugars and oils.
Keto Maple Syrup
Keto maple syrup adds sweetness and classic maple flavour without the sugar found in traditional syrups, making it ideal for keto-friendly baking.

Autism-Friendly Benefits
These cookies have a soft, slightly crumbly texture that many autistic individuals may enjoy. The simple ingredient list can also be helpful for those who prefer familiar flavours. If a smoother texture is preferred, use a very smooth natural peanut butter. Almond flour provides healthy fats and vitamin E, while peanut butter contributes protein and magnesium, making these cookies a more nourishing alternative to many traditional biscuits. As every autistic individual has unique sensory preferences, the texture and sweetness can easily be adjusted to suit individual needs.
Tip
For extra flavour, sprinkle the cookies with flaky sea salt before baking or add a few sugar-free dark chocolate chips to the dough. Store in an airtight container for up to five days, or freeze for up to three months. They're delicious enjoyed with a cup of coffee, alongside Greek yogurt, or as a quick keto snack between meals.
