Chewy Keto Amaretti Biscuits

Pin recipeFollow us 130.8k

Amaretti are a traditional almond flavoured Italian biscuit which has a soft and pillowy centre encased in a delicious sweet, crispy shell. Traditionally flavoured with Amaretto liquor (hence the name) I have used sugar-free almond extract instead.

These chewy biscuits are almost keto naturally and really only require the substitution of a quality low-carb sweetener for the sugar. This means that you can have piles of the moreish morsels ready to eat in less than an hour, just by raiding your pantry supplies. Enjoy!

Nutritional values (per biscuit)

Ingredients (makes 25 biscuits)

• 3 large egg whites
• 2 ³/₄ cups almond flour (275 g/ 9.7 oz)
• 1 cup powdered Erythritol or Swerve, divided (160 g/ 5.6 oz)
• ¹/₂ tsp lemon juice
• ¹/₂ tsp sugar-free almond extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 170 °C/ 340 °F (fan assisted), or 190 °C/ 375 °F (conventional).
   
   
2. Place the egg whites into the bowl of a stand mixer and whisk on high until soft peaks form.
   
3. Switch to a paddle attachment and add the almond flour, ³/₄ cup (120 g/ 4.2 oz) sweetener, lemon juice and almond extract in.
   
   
4. Mix gently until a thick dough forms. Sit two baking trays together, one on top of the other, which helps to stop the biscuits burning on the bottom. Line with baking paper.
   
   
5. Roll teaspoons sized ball and then roll each ball in the remaining sifted ¹/₂ cup (40 g/ 1.4 oz) powdered sweetener.
   
   
6. Press down gently and then bake for 30 minutes.
   
7. Dust with a touch more sweetener, if desired.
   
8. Store, in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
