You’ll absolutely adore the combination of clove, nutmeg, and cinnamon. It’s all the flavors that make up a traditional gingerbread cookie! However, the low carb secret is found in the flour and the sweetener. Rather than white flour, we use almond flour, and monk fruit sweetener is responsible for all of that sweetness you taste! As you may already know, monk fruit is much sweeter than regular sugar but happens to be much easier for the body to process.
For all of you low carb foodies out there, this is the low carb dessert you need to file away for the holiday season. It’s simple to make and only requires a few minutes to mix together and pop in the oven. It’s as simple as that. Not only will your home smell warm and inviting, but you’ll have a perfectly golden cookie, too! Talk about a double win!
