Low carb almond shortbread recipe
Delicious buttery shortbread. I’m drooling over the thought of it. Shortbread can still be eaten on a low carb diet, and this keto almond shortbread recipe adds a slight almond flavour that’s not too overwhelming.
It also doesn’t taste too sweet, although you can reduce the sweetener a little if you prefer an even less sweet version.
The keto shortbread is really light in texture too.
Eat it as a snack or have with coffee.
Or why not serve it on the side of a chocolate mousse as a dessert
Or with berries and a keto ice cream as a sweet treat.
I bet most people wouldn’t even notice it didn’t have sugar in it.

With only 4-5 ingredients that most people following a low carb diet will have in their cupboards, these shortbread can be made within 30 minutes, and just need to cool before eating.
Depending on the sweetener you use, you may get the slight cooling feel as you eat. You could avoid this by using monkfruit sweetener. I use Erythritol which is fine for my tastes, or you could use Stevia or another granulated sweetener if you prefer. Just make sure you convert the volume as appropriate.
Like normal shortbread, you combine the dry ingredients and rub in the butter. Then press the mixture into a baking tray, before baking until it’s lightly golden brown.
It will still feel soft on top when you take it out of the oven, but hardens up in the pan. So when it’s still warm, lightly cut it into 16 or 12 pieces to score it before it hardens. Once it’s cold, just break it up along your knife cuts, and eat when ready.
Store the almond shortbead in an airtight container for around a week. Or wrap it in cling film and foil in layers between baking paper, and freeze for up to a month. Just defrost at room temperature.
If you wanted a variation, you could include freeze dried strawberries and just mix them in before pressing into the tin.
Tips for making keto almond shortbread
I grate in my butter to prevent it getting too warm. It’s easier to rub into the dry ingredients too.
If using a smaller baking tin (or silicone) you’ll need to bake it for a little longer.
