If you’re craving a rich, buttery Keto Shortbread recipe, you need to make this one! It’s full of all wonderful things you love about shortbread, but without all the carbs and sugars!
Why should I make these Keto Shortbread Cookies?
- Low Carb. Only 2 net carbs per serving.
- Gluten Free. This keto shortbread is made with almond flour so it is allergy friendly.
- Minimal Ingredients. Only 4 ingredients to have these tasty treats at your fingertips.

This is actually an incredibly easy recipe with very few ingredients. You don’t need to be good at baking for these to turn out amazing. They’re made in a baking pan, so you don’t even need to use a cookie cutter!
When you decide to go keto or low carb or even gluten-free , one of the things that seems to be the hardest to give up is sweets and desserts .
You will only need four ingredients to make these, and I love the way they turn out. They’re buttery and delicious, just like a good shortbread recipe should be. That’s why you should make them.
Can I Use Almond Flour On Keto?
If you’re familiar with a low carb lifestyle and keto ingredients, you’re probably aware that all-purpose flour isn’t keto friendly.
The great news is that many of your favorite desserts can be keto-fied by using almond flour. With 2.5 net carbs per serving , almond flour is a great solution if you’re eating a keto diet.
Can You Swap Almond Flour And Coconut Flour For Each Other?
One thing I get asked often when I post low-carb baking recipes like these is if coconut flour can be subbed for the almond flour. The short answer is that it can’t.
Almond flour and coconut flour are two completely different substances and react to ingredients and baking times completely differently. Substituting one for the other would likely end in a baking disaster.
Coconut flour absorbs water like no body’s business, so you can’t just swap those two. You pretty much have to develop a new recipe if you want to use coconut flour.
What Sugar Is Best For Shortbread?
There are tons of opinions about what kind of sugar is best for shortbread, brown sugar or caster sugar. My opinion? Neither.
Both of these options leave you with a shortbread recipe that is incredibly high in carbs that I can’t eat. So, for this Keto Shortbread recipe , I chose to use Truvia .
What Ingredients Will I Need For This Gluten Free Shortbread?
For this recipe you will need:
- Butter
- Truvia
- Almond Extract
- Almond Flour
In low carb baking I know there are a lot of recipes you will find that have a ton of ingredients, and half of those ingredients won’t be in your cabinets. I hate recipes like that. I just want to cook, not have to buy out a whole store before I can eat.
If you’re new to low-carb eating you may not have almond flour or a sugar substitute yet, but they’re good to have on hand. I create a lot of recipes with those ingredients, so they won’t sit around in your pantry once you get them.
Does Shortbread Contain Gluten?
Traditional shortbread recipes will contain gluten because of the type of flour they use. That’s why Keto shortbread makes the perfect Gluten Free shortbread .
By using almond flour instead of all purpose flour, you’re creating a perfectly gluten-free and low carb shortbread that everyone will love.
How Do You Make Keto Shortbread?
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Lightly grease a 6 inch round baking pan and set it aside.
- Using a stand mixer, blend together the butter and Truvia, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon almond extract and blend, 30 seconds.
- Add almond flour little by little and blend, another 2 minutes.
- Remove the dough and pat it into the baking tin.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove the pan carefully and while the shortbread is still warm and soft, cut into 8 pie-shaped pieces.
- Allow the shortbread to cool before serving.
Want To Try Keto Lemon Shortbread?
It’s so easy to adapt this recipe to make it have a lemon flavor instead of an almond flavor. Simple sub the almond extract for lemon extract and add a little lemon zest before baking. Then you will end up with buttery, lemon shortbread!

Herb Roast Chicken | Air Fryer Herbed Roast Chicken
The air fryer makes the most crispy chicken with so little oil, and I love to cook my chicken in it. Just look at the beautiful golden color the chicken gets! The chicken cooks quickly so it stays juicy, so you get crispy skin and juicy meat which is the perfect combo.
But the one thing to note is that it’s actually difficult to make dry meats in the air fryer and get them to taste good. So for this recipe, I wanted to see about making chicken breast in the air fryer without drying it out. You MUST leave the skin on!
Do NOT take the skin off when cooking. If you don’t want to eat it afterward, you can take it off. But allow it to cook with the skin on so you get some natural basting from that chicken skin.
Also, be sure to use a meat thermometer so you aren’t overcooking the chicken. If you overcook it, it will definitely dry out.
Feel free to spray with oil while cooking to keep the surface moist and evenly browning if you need.
The herbs and spices used in this are paprika, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder and salt and pepper. Simple right?
Combine that with butter and some lemon wedges and that’s really all you need to make this recipe. Classic Herb Roast Chicken in very little time that comes out perfect in the air fryer.
