I saw people asked constantly whether keto baking is even possible without eggs. It usually comes from readers who are vegan, allergic, or just plain out of eggs on a Tuesday night with a cookie craving.
This recipe answers that question with a soft, chewy, chocolate studded cookie that has no eggs, no dairy, and no added sugar. It uses a flax egg to hold everything together, and honestly, once these are baked, nobody misses the eggs at all.

Why You Will Love This Recipe
- No eggs and no dairy, so it works for vegan, keto, and egg allergy households at the same time
- Only one bowl and about 15 minutes of hands on time before these go into the oven
- Soft centers with slightly crisp edges, which is the texture most sugar free cookies struggle to get right
What Is a Flax Egg?
A flax egg is ground flaxseed mixed with water and left to sit until it thickens into a gel, similar to a beaten egg. I use 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed to 2.5 tablespoons of water, resting for about 5 minutes.
It works as a binder in place of a real egg, which is why it shows up so often in vegan baking. It won’t make cookies fluffy, but for a chewy cookie like this one, it holds everything together just fine.

Vegan Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies No Eggs: Recipe Overview
These cookies taste rich and buttery even though there is no dairy in the batter at all. The coconut oil gives them a soft crumb, and the flax egg keeps them from falling apart without adding any eggy flavor.
Expect a chewy center with edges that turn slightly golden as they bake. They work well as an afternoon snack, a lunch box treat, or a quick dessert after dinner. Anyone managing sugar intake, following a vegan diet, or avoiding eggs for any reason will find these genuinely satisfying, not just a compromise.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons ground flaxseed (this replaces the eggs)
- 5 tablespoons water
- 2 cups (200g) superfine blanched almond flour
- 1/3 cup (75g) coconut oil, melted and slightly cooled
- 1/3 cup granulated Stevia (or a stevia and erythritol blend, measured for baking)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (85g) sugar free dairy free chocolate chips (check the label, since not all sugar free chips are dairy free)
The flax and water combination is what most people call a flax egg. It thickens into a gel that binds the batter, similar to what a regular egg would do.
How to Make Vegan Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies No Eggs No Sugar
Make the Flax Egg
In a small bowl, stir the ground flaxseed into the water. Let it sit for 5 minutes until it thickens into a gel. It should look glossy and slightly stretchy, not watery.
Mix the Wet Ingredients
In a large bowl, whisk the melted coconut oil, Stevia, and vanilla extract together. Add the flax egg and whisk again until the mixture looks smooth and fully combined.
Add the Dry Ingredients
Add the almond flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir with a spatula until a thick, slightly sticky dough forms. Do not overmix, since almond flour dough can turn dense if you work it too much.
Fold in the Chocolate Chips
Fold in the chocolate chips by hand so they stay whole instead of breaking apart. The dough should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Shape and Bake
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop the dough into 12 even balls and flatten each one slightly, since almond flour cookies do not spread much on their own. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges turn a light golden color and the centers still look slightly soft.
Cool and Set
Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them. This resting time is what allows them to firm up properly, since almond flour cookies are fragile straight out of the oven.
Additional tips
- Flatten each cookie before baking.
- Unlike wheat flour dough, this batter will not spread on its own, so whatever shape you scoop is close to the shape you get after baking.
Storage and Serving
Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months when placed in a freezer safe bag with parchment between layers.
To reheat, let a frozen cookie sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes, or warm it in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften the chocolate chips. Serve them with a glass of unsweetened almond milk or alongside a cup of coffee.
Tools That Made This Recipe Easier
A few simple tools made this recipe smoother, so I wanted to share them honestly:
- Use this OXO double sided scoop to portion the dough into even balls, which keeps every cookie the same size and baking at the same rate.
- Air Container: Store the cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
- Glass mixing bowls: easy to see when the batter is fully combined
- Silicone baking mat: reusable, non stick surface that saves on parchment paper
These are optional, and the recipe works fine without them.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a real egg instead of a flax egg?
Yes, one flax egg can be swapped for one regular egg if you are not keeping the recipe vegan. The texture will be slightly firmer with a real egg.
Why did my cookies turn out dry?
This usually means too much almond flour was packed into the measuring cup. Spoon the flour in loosely and level it off instead of scooping directly from the bag.
Can I use a different oil instead of coconut oil?
Melted vegan butter works as a substitute and gives a slightly less coconut forward flavor.
Are these cookies safe for a diabetes friendly diet?
They are lower in net carbs and contain no added sugar, which can fit into a diabetes friendly eating plan, but always check with a doctor or dietitian about what works for your individual needs.
Can I double this recipe?
Yes, this recipe doubles well. Just bake in batches so the cookies have enough space to bake evenly.
These vegan keto chocolate chip cookies no eggs prove that skipping eggs does not mean skipping flavor or texture. The flax egg does its job quietly, the coconut oil keeps things soft, and the chocolate chips make sure every bite feels like a real treat.
Whether you are vegan, avoiding eggs, or just cutting sugar, this recipe gives you a cookie you can actually rely on.
