How to Make These Easy Pumpkin Keto Cookies {Quick Overview}

This is just a quick overview of some of the steps involved in making the low carb keto pumpkin cookies. For the recipe in detail, including exact measurements used at each step, scroll to the recipe card at the end of the post.

Preheat oven.

In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, Swerve Confectioners, and Swerve Brown (sprinkled on top). (Picture 1)

Mix on medium-high until fluffy (approx. 5 minutes). (Picture 2)

Mix eggs in on low, one at a time. (Picture 3)

Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract. Mix on low until combined. (Picture 4)

Mix all dry ingredients in a separate bowl, then add to wet ingredients. (Picture 5)

TIP: Oat fiber is optional, but highly recommended! It will not add any net carbs to the recipe and will make the result softer and more cake-like.

Mix on low until combined. (Picture 6)

Lightly spray the bottom of a casserole dish (I used 7×11”) with non-stick cooking spray, then evenly spread the batter into the dish. Bake per instructions on recipe card, then remove from oven and let cool completely. (Picture 7)

TIP: Do not overbake! The cookies will firm up as they cool.

Make frosting per instructions on recipe card (follow these exactly for the best result!). (Picture 8)

Spread the frosting evenly onto the top of the cookie bar, then refrigerate the bars for at least 30 minutes. (Picture 9)

Cut into 10 even pieces, serve, and enjoy!

TIP: For an extra-special treat, cut your piece in half and stack the two pieces on top of each other as shown in the first photo in this post. 😍

How to Store These Gluten Free Pumpkin Cookies

You’ll want to store these in the fridge for up to two weeks (check your cream cheese; if it is due to expire sooner than two weeks, then these cookies will only last until the cream cheese expiration date). Store in an airtight container.

Is Oat Fiber Keto?

Yes, oat fiber is keto! In fact, it contains 0g net carbs.

Don’t confuse oat fiber with oat flour – while oat fiber is free of net carbs, oat flour is high in carbs.

Oat fiber (made from the exterior hull of oats) is an insoluble fiber, which means your body cannot digest it or absorb carbohydrates from it. More importantly, a small amount makes keto baked goods extra-moist and soft!

Ingredients

Cookie Ingredients

• 6 tbsp salted butter softened
• 2 tbsp cream cheese softened
• 3/4 cup Swerve Confectioners
• 1/4 cup Swerve Brown
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup pumpkin puree
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 cup coconut flour
• 2 tbsp oat fiber optional
• 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt

Frosting Ingredients

• 4 1/2 oz cream cheese softened
• 3 tbsp butter softened
• 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners

Cook ModePrevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• In a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, combine butter, cream cheese, Swerve Confectioners, and Swerve Brown. When adding the Swerve Brown, sprinkle it on top of the other ingredients to make sure it evenly distributes when mixing.
• Mix on medium-high for 5-6 minutes until fluffy.
• Then, add one egg and mix it in on low. Add the second egg and do the same.
• Add pumpkin puree and vanilla extract, scrape down the sides of the bowl, and mix on low until well combined.
• In a small bowl, thoroughly combine the coconut flour, oat fiber (if using), pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix in on low for 30 seconds until combined.
• Lightly spray the bottom of a casserole dish (I used 7×11”) with non-stick cooking spray, then evenly spread the batter into the dish.
• Place casserole dish in the oven and bake for 15-22 minutes (highly dependent on your oven), until the edges begin to lightly brown. Do NOT overbake! The middle of the casserole will still be relatively soft/wet, but an inserted toothpick should come out mostly clean. The cookie bars will firm up as they cool.
• Place the dish on a wire rack and let the cookie bars cool completely. (For quicker cooling, after 30 minutes you can place the dish in the fridge.)
• After removing the cooled bars from the fridge, add frosting ingredients to a microwave-safe bowl and beat on medium-high for 5 minutes, making sure to scrape down the sides during the process.
• Add bowl to the microwave and microwave for 10 seconds. Remove from the microwave and stir to distribute the heat. NOTE: This step ensures that the frosting will be spreadable. If it’s left to its usual texture, the top of the cookie bar will lift up and mix into the frosting.
• Spread the frosting evenly onto the top of the cookie bar. (If you have any trouble spreading it, microwave the frosting for a few more seconds.)
• Refrigerate the Keto Pumpkin Cookies for at least 30 minutes to return the frosting back to its regular texture.
• Cut into 10 even pieces and serve.

Notes

• For an extra-special treat, cut your piece in half and stack the two pieces on top of each other as shown in the first photo in this post. 😍
• Store your Keto Pumpkin Cookies in the fridge for up to two weeks (check your cream cheese; if it is due to expire sooner than two weeks, then these cookies will only last until the cream cheese expiration date). Store in an airtight container.
