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 performed by a functional doctor 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!
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’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 says
I did the LRA by ELISA/ACT.
Michelle says
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 says
You need to use the syrup. That’s why it’s flat.
Anna says
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 says
Hope you love them! Others have told me that the Honest Syrup doesn’t spike glucose levels either.
Juls says
The balls never melted flat?! Did I do something wrong? But loved the simple, yummy ingredients.
Lisa says
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 says
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 says
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 says
I added cinnamon!
I made syrup with xylitol and maple syrup extract. I also added vanilla extract.
It turned out yummy!
Becky says
Love the recipe! My daughter is allergic to eggs, these were fabulous (although we used honey)!😊
Sue H. says
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 says
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 says
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 says
Some people, myself included, have developed a sensitivity to eggs. I’m okay with the yolks, but I have trouble with the whites.
Barbara Groffin says
Can you use sugar free pancake syrup??
Lisa says
It may work, but I haven’t tested it. It just needs to have that thick consistency like honey.
stella watson says
Can you please provide the nutritional breakdown for this recipe?
Lisa says
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 says
You didn’t indicate what flavor of the syrup, does it matter?
Lisa says
You can use any of the flavors, but the caramel and maple taste best in my opinion.
Roz says
Thanks for a no egg recipe! I like Choczero chocolates and was thinking about trying the syrups.
Lisa says
The syrups are fantastic! Definitely give them a try.
