These cinnamon french toast cookies are super delicious. If you imagine a delicious piece of french toast and turned it into a cookie, that’s exactly what you’re looking at right now!
The bast of these cinnamon french toast cookies is exactly the same as my keto chocolate chip cookies, just without the chocolate chips, and add in some more almond flour and sugar-free maple syrup. Sorry to ruin the surprise for you guys. However, don’t underestimate the copycat essence of this recipe, in fact, those chocolate chip cookies were voted 3rd best recipe on my website to date, so what are you waiting for? Go and fire up those oven flames and cast your hands into gloves of steel ready to whip these bad boys together in a split.
French toast is traditionally made using an egg mixture, maple syrup, cinnamon and of course… bread. But cookies? Yeah, I wasn’t so sure about this myself until I actually made them. My gosh, it totally tastes like the real thing, just without all the pan frying and egg mixture flung around the stovetop whilst attempting to flip the slippery suckers.
I can’t really say that these are a French butter cookie, that would be lying. They are more of a soft textured sugar-free cookie honestly. Some people actually call them snickerdoodles or a snickerdoodle cookie. never the less, I’m sure the cross-continental slang language barrier doesn’t stop you from making these…
These cookies don’t contain any milk, which is great. Milk-free french toast cookies! feel free to dip in almond milk, or what I cleverly like to call “nut juice”. Who on earth called whizzed up almonds in some water “milk”? They don’t call it orange milk… do they? Nut juice probably just didn’t make the cut when attempting to find a name for the dairy-free counterpart.
If you’re a little off put by the log pile in the photo… that’s cinnamon. Yes, like sticks of cinnamon. They work with the photo, trust me! Even if you don’t know what they are at first. Maybe I was trying to build a fire around the warmth of that cuddle mug in the background. Oh yeah – that’s an Aldi special.

Literally the best cookies! You wouldn’t know they were keto friendly! What brand almond flour did you use ? When I calculate the nutrition I get over five carbs for each cookie from my almond flour 🙁 still worth it though!
Thanks
I do not care for erythritol. I love the Walden Farms calorie free pancake syrup, wondering if I could use more of that for the erythritol and add in a little more almond flour or xanthan gum? Thoughts?
Sure. Erythritol is always a better option, but if it doesn’t agree with you, then substitute as planned 🙂
Excellent… will try to prepare it as per instructions…
I substituted guar gum for xanthan gum does xanthan gum make the cookie stick together or not? I like the cookie but it is rather cakelike. Then fIavor is still really delicious I just wanted to know. Thank you for the recipe!
These are the best low carb cookie recipe I have ever tried! I have attempted many recipes and these taste like the real deal. They are so soft and have great texture.
These cookies are so good! Thank you for sharing the recipe. My bf was wanting French Toast but being on keto, that wasn’t exactly an option. He’ll eat these cookies with eggs and bacon for breakfast! Love them!! Soft and sweet and absolutely delicious!!
By far the best keto cookie recipe I have found. I’ve tried a lot of recipes and this the only one to taste like a real cookie. I did have to cook them a couple of minutes longer in my oven. Thank you so much for this! Really helped me with my sweet tooth! I think I can carry on with Keto now.
Hey there!
I’ve followed the recipe and my cookies come out like mush still. Are they supposed to be that soft? I use swerve, super fine almond flour, and red mill xanthan gum. I used a stick of butter and an egg and everything. They are coming out like play dough and I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Help!
Yes they are supposed to be soft 🙂
Hi. great recipe. Are you suppose to flatten the balls before putting them in the oven. Just put a batch in and was just wondering.
That is correct.
I substituted the xanthan gum for the unflavored gelatine is this okay?
Definitely, this will work well
Great recipe. Never bought Xantham Gum before. Guess it is needed to hold it together. Must give it a try. I would substitute normal Cassia Cinnamon for Ceylon Cinnamon. But then again we are biased. But Ceylon Cinnamon will not damage your liver like Cassia type Cinnamon especially if you use it regularly.
For ease of use could you convert this recipe to grams. especially for the dry ingredients
Could this be baked as a bread instead of cookies?
I would search for keto french toast here on my blog. That would work much better
I only have Swerve. Would it be a 1:1 conversion? Can’t wiait to try this recipe!
1:1 for sure!
I’ve tried making these twice now and they keep coming out extremely soft. I left the dough in the fridge for a long time last time and it still happened. They fall apart when I remove them from the tray. Any suggestions?
That’s so weird? Have you substituted any of the ingredients?
Stevia is rather bitter and I have tried to use it as a substitute for erythritol in other recipes and it was horrible. Can I use coconut sugar?
I’d use erythritol.
Coconut sugar is not keto.
What do you recommend in place of the butter for dairy allergies?
Olive oil or coconut oil will work well
Just a shout out to say love this recipe. The best chocolate chip recipe ever. Thank you!
What could you use instead of the maple syrup? The SF maple syrup that I have has Sucralose.
Hey Beth – Recently I’ve experimented with erythritol syrup, which is basically hot water and erythritol, but it won’t give you that maple taste. If you’re okay with that, then go ahead 🙂
If we used this alternate syrup AND maple extract would that work?
I’d go either or.
These are ridiculously DELICIOUS!!!!!!! Im so happy i found this recipe lol! Thanks
I totally agree!! They are the best cookies i have made since starting my keto diet! And I have tried many recipes.. Thank you soooo much!
Just found out that I am hypoglycemic. How good is the Keto Diet for helping me keep my glucose numbers in check?
Hey Betsy, – You would have to monitor this with your doctor 🙂
Hi there, just wondering how necessary the xanthan gum is ?? I have everything but!!
Its better with it, but you can definitely make it without as well 🙂
Hello Stephanie,
Konjac root powder works great in place of the anthem gum. Konjac root powder also known as Glucomannan is a natural, water-soluble dietary fiber extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjac. It is available as a supplement, in drink mixes and is also added to food products, such as pasta and flour. It is also the main ingredient in shirataki noodles. It has no taste and bumps up your fiber intake.
Hope this helps.
Angie
I wonder if psyllium powder would work the same?
It certainly would!
These were pretty good, especially compared to a few other keto approved cookies I’ve tried. I wish they were a little bit sweeter, but all in all they are good.
Thanks ?
Hi! if I wanted to sub erythritol with another sweetener what would recommend?
I would recommend stevia 🙂
Could try allulose or xylitol( though careful that no dog around as very toxic to them in even small quantities eg the xylitol).
