Easy to make no egg cookies made low carb and gluten free. These coconut flour cookies are a simple treat that take little time to prepare.
It looks like my egg fast diet days are over. Although I’ve always lost weight after egg fasting, I probably did more harm than good. That’s because my body hasn’t been digesting the egg whites properly which has caused my immune system to react.
A blood test confirmed that I have a severe sensitivity to egg whites. It might be possible to desensitize using allersode drops. It’s best to avoid eggs for a few months and stay away from the whites for the most part.
I think my food sensitivities, particularly the reaction to egg whites, is the main reason why I could never lose those last ten pounds. After avoiding the most common allergenic foods for a month, six of those ten pounds came off effortlessly.
Since the holiday season is here, I set out to bake some no egg cookies that I can enjoy. And, as luck would have it, samples of the new ChocZero Honest Syrup arrived in the mail.
I was pretty excited to try this new syrup in an egg-free coconut flour cookies recipe I found at The Coconut Mama. I didn’t want to use the high carb honey so Choc Zero caramel syrup looked like the perfect substitute.
This syrup is a brand new product from Choc Zero. In fact, it’s not available in stores yet. However, I was lucky enough to get to preview the product for all of you. And, it’s definitely a keeper!
Although I’m still avoiding chocolate, I did have to try a sample of the chocolate syrup. It’s thick and rich like fudge sauce. And, the flavor is just as good as my favorite ChocZero chocolate candy.
When I made the no egg cookies, I only flattened the cookie dough slightly. In a later batch, I flattened them out a lot more. The great thing about this recipe is that it’s very versatile.
If you like thin crisp cookies, you’ll want to flatten out the dough balls into thinner bigger rounds. I prefer a crisp outside yet somewhat chewy inside to my cookies. And, that’s what I got by only pressing the dough balls down slightly.
Now, my cookies were a thicker mini size when compared to the thinner cookies. But, I liked the texture better. I suppose I could have taken the thinner cookies out of the oven sooner so they didn’t get as crisp.
In any case, the ChocZero caramel syrup successfully replaced the raw honey in the original egg-free coconut flour cookies. And, I make these in a double batch because you don’t get a lot of dough from the original recipe.
I also tried the chocolate syrup in the cookie recipe. It worked too, but I liked the taste of the caramel flavored batch much better. It tasted a bit like salted caramel cookies.
For those looking for an awesome replacement for honey, maple syrup, and molasses in their favorite recipes, give the caramel or maple pecan syrup a try. And, if you love thick fudge sauce, you must try the chocolate flavor.
So, what are the ingredients in the syrups. You’ll be happy to know each syrup is made from simple all natural ingredients. With only 2g net carbs per tablespoon, it’s certainly a real treat!
The thickness comes from liquid vegetable fiber and the sweetness comes from low carb monk fruit sweetener. And, there’s no sugar alcohols or preservatives.
I don’t recommend eating too many sweets on any diet. But for those occasional treats, the new Honest Syrups by ChocZero is a great choice for baking or adding as a topping to low carb ice cream.
You can also use the syrup to flavor hot or cold beverage. And, the Maple Pecan flavor is perfect for serving with my coconut flour pancakes or almond flour pancakes!
No Egg Cookies – Gluten Free Low Carb Coconut Flour Cookies
I think you’ll want to stock up on some of the ChocZero Honest Syrup just to bake up these delicious cookies! Although I didn’t try the Maple Pecan flavor, I bet they would make an awesome cookie too.
What would you use these low carb syrups for? I’d like to see how the caramel syrup does in my low carb pecan pie.

I tried these cookies and it came out moist and crumbly, like shortbread.
I made some revisions to the recipe:
1. I replaced the sauce with half a banana. Next time, I’ll use either 1 or 1.5 bananas since it wasn’t sweet enough for me.
2. I used about 2-3 TBSP of unsweetened flakes
Next time, I might top these with various jams and/or add more coconut flakes for a macaroon taste.
Thanks for the recipe. Loved it and so simple!
Savanna
I got 5 cookies instead of 16?
Lisa MarcAurele
If you look at the photo of the cookies next to the teacup, you can get an idea of the size of my cookies. I made them mini sized.
Tarcila
For me it was hard to divide the dough into balls cause it was very crumbly, so I added 1 flax egg . Didn’t have any syrup so I made one with 2 spoons of raw sugar and a bit of boiling water. Also added a bit of vegan chocolate chips and the results were AMAZING! Thank your for the recipe!
Lisa MarcAurele
Thanks for the tips on how to make without the syrup!
Jade Lioness
I overcooked my first batch, and they were too dry. But I just tried again (with honey instead of the syrup, and coconut oil rather than ghee) with added dried cherries. A much better result…. I crumbled some and used as the base for a banoffee pie style dessert 😋 So good. They taste like shortbread. Thanks for the recipe ❤️
akshita
Hi,
can I use coconut sugar instead of any syrup?
Lisa MarcAurele
Honey will work. It needs to be a thick syrup. Coconut sugar probably won’t work.
Doll
Thank you for mentioning the LSA allergy test. Once I read it in your comments I immediately contacted them and found a dr who sold me the test. I’m getting my blood drawn Monday, and I can’t wait to see my results. You may have randomly saved my life!! I have chronic illness and was just browsing the web for an egg free cookie and here you are. I have yet to try the recipe but THANK you for mentioning the LSA Elisa rest. I’m anxious to see what I may be allergic to.
Lisa MarcAurele
Hope the food sensitivity test helps!
Lauren
Used honey (& a dash of vanilla), since my kids aren’t full Keto… the cookies were dry, so it wasn’t great. We typically love all your recipes , so will keep trying others!!
Lisa MarcAurele
Hmm. These should have worked well with honey. However, coconut flour can vary in absorbency so many you just needed to use a little less.
Alma Castanon
Can I use almond flour instead?
Lisa MarcAurele
Unfortunately, the recipe was created and tested with coconut flour and they are not one for one subs.
Sai
Hi. I don’t want to use the syrup. Can you pls let me know some other substitute. Thank you
Lisa MarcAurele
A thick syrup is needed to get the right texture. You could try using a nut butter with a little concentrated sweetener.
monica
could i use honey if i don’t need the low carb?
Lisa MarcAurele
Absolutely!
Anne
I’m very curious what test your dr did to discover the sensitivity to egg whites? I’ve cut out eggs but suspect it’s actually the whites that are my issue. Looking forward to these cookies. Thanks!
Lisa
I did the LRA by ELISA/ACT.
Michelle
Love the idea of a simple cookie.
But I’m wondering if I’m missing the baking soda or powder? Mine were flat. I didn’t use the syrup (used vanilla and stevia)
Lisa
You need to use the syrup. That’s why it’s flat.
Anna
Thank you for this recipe, I am on a candida diet and I have to watch my carb intake. I am also intolerant to eggs and almonds so this recipe is just perfect!! I cant wait to make these cookies!
Lisa
Hope you love them! Others have told me that the Honest Syrup doesn’t spike glucose levels either.
Juls
The balls never melted flat?! Did I do something wrong? But loved the simple, yummy ingredients.
Lisa
Although it’s shown in the prep shots, it’s not clear in the recipe that I pressed the balls down before baking so I fixed it.
Val Johannson
Hi Lisa, thanks for this recipe. I too have developed a sensitivity to egg whites, so I appreciate where you are coming from. I’m also supposed to stay away from Almond Flour, so Coconut is my go to.
Do you happen to have any eggless Coconut Flour muffin recipes? Or do you have other eggless recipes I could try 🙂
Lisa
I’ve had good luck replacing eggs with psyllium eggs (1 tablespoon husks with about 2 tablespoons water) like in this eggless Fathead pizza crust.
Mary Schroeder
I added cinnamon!
I made syrup with xylitol and maple syrup extract. I also added vanilla extract.
It turned out yummy!
Becky
Love the recipe! My daughter is allergic to eggs, these were fabulous (although we used honey)!?
Sue H.
I’m intolerant to egg yolks and am having trouble finding good keto coconut flour recipes without eggs. I’m also intolerant to almond flour so I do appreciate the time and effort you put into coming up and sharing recipes!
Lisa
Wow! That’s tough. But, if you can tolerate sunflower or sesame seeds, you can use those seed based flours as a direct substitute for almond flour.
Rene
what is the benefit of a no-egg recipe if eggs are recommended on the Keto diet? (I’m new to Keto, trying to learn.) Thank you!
Lisa
Some people, myself included, have developed a sensitivity to eggs. I’m okay with the yolks, but I have trouble with the whites.
Jennifer Fahsel
For people like me that constantly run out of eggs and crave cookies.
Barbara Groffin
Can you use sugar free pancake syrup??
Lisa
It may work, but I haven’t tested it. It just needs to have that thick consistency like honey.
stella watson
Can you please provide the nutritional breakdown for this recipe?
Lisa
The syrup is such a new product, I have to do it manually. I’ll see if I can figure it out and add it in.
Rochelle
You didn’t indicate what flavor of the syrup, does it matter?
Lisa
You can use any of the flavors, but the caramel and maple taste best in my opinion.
Roz
Thanks for a no egg recipe! I like Choczero chocolates and was thinking about trying the syrups.
Lisa
The syrups are fantastic! Definitely give them a try.
