How to make Low-GI Keto recipes?

The glycemic index (GI) is a value used to measure how much specific foods increase blood sugar levels. When preparing Low Glycemic Keto foods, you need to be aware of all the ingredients’ glycemic indexes. Any value under 55 is considered Low-GI, but keep in mind that not all Low-GI foods are Keto-friendly, and vice versa. This recipe uses ingredients with a very Low-GI, including eggs (GI<1), erythritol (GI<1), avocado (GI=15), peanut butter (GI=14), sugar-free chocolate chips (GI=23), and cocoa powder (GI=20).

How to store these Keto cookies?

These cookies will stay fresh if stored in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days. You can also keep them in the fridge for up to a week and heat them for 20 seconds in the microwave before consuming them as gooey cookies.

Which type of peanut butter is best for Low-GI Keto recipes?

Natural peanut butter is one of the best Low Glycemic Keto foods because it has a very low glycemic index of 14. Choose a brand of natural peanut butter that is sugar-free and Keto-friendly. Check the labels, and make sure that the ingredients consist of peanuts and salt only.

What is the best chocolate for Low-GI Keto Cookie recipes?

To limit the carbs and keep this recipe Keto-friendly, we use cocoa powder in the cookie dough. While you can use a sugar-free chocolate bar, it usually contains more carbs. Using a chocolate bar will also increase the preparation time since you must melt it and fold it in. We have also added sugar-free chocolate chips at the end, but you can skip them if you want.
