Ingredients
- 1 large egg — Binds and adds moisture. The liquid activates the gelatin.
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts — The oat substitute. Provides grain-like texture, fat, and protein.
- 1 tsp double-acting baking powder — Lift and tenderness during cooking.
- 2 tbsp brown sugar sweetener (such as Swerve) — Sweetness without sugar. Brown sugar varieties add a mild molasses-like depth that suits oatmeal cookies.
- 1 tbsp bovine beef gelatin — Structure, chew, protein density. The foundational ingredient.
- 1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips — Richness, flavour, and the classic oatmeal cookie finishing note.
- 1/2 tsp xanthan gum (optional) — Binder for immediate dough structure. Use if eating cookies right away. Skip if chilling the dough for 15 minutes. See the Xanthan Gum & Dough Structure section for full details.
- Flaky sea salt — Finishing element. Enhances sweetness and chocolate flavour.
Instructions
Step 1 — Mix
Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl: egg, hemp hearts, baking powder, brown sugar sweetener, beef gelatin, chocolate chips, and xanthan gum if using. Mix until a thick, cohesive cookie dough forms. The mixture will thicken as the gelatin begins to hydrate.
Step 2 — Shape
- Divide dough into 3 equal portions
- Roll each portion into a golf-ball-sized dough ball
- Place on a parchment-lined plate (microwave) or baking tray (oven method)
- Do not flatten the tops — they will spread naturally during cooking
- Sprinkle flaky sea salt over each dough ball
Cooking Options
Microwave Method — 90 Seconds
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds
- Remove and rest on parchment for 5 minutes — do not move them yet
- Transfer to a wire rack and cool fully before eating
Result: soft, chewy, slightly cake-like cookie with a true oatmeal-cookie feel. No browning, uniform interior, tender throughout.
Convection / Toaster Oven / Air Fryer Method
- Preheat to 400°F (204°C)
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until edges are set
- Cool on tray for 5 minutes
- Transfer to wire rack and cool fully before handling
Result: crisp or lightly golden exterior, chewy and soft interior. More traditional baked cookie structure with stronger flavour development.
Notes
Why Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips Show Zero Net Carbs
You’ll notice that Lily’s sugar-free chocolate chips show 0g net carbs despite listing 8g total carbs per tablespoon and 32g total carbs for the full 1/4 cup used in this recipe. This is not a mistake.
Sugar-free chocolate chips are sweetened with sugar alcohols and fibre-based sweeteners such as erythritol, inulin, or stevia blends. The human body does not digest or absorb these compounds the way it processes regular sugar or starch. They pass through the digestive system largely intact, meaning they do not raise blood glucose and do not contribute to your net carbohydrate intake.
Net carbs are calculated by subtracting fibre and non-digestible sugar alcohols from total carbs. For Lily’s chips: 8g total carbs − 3g fibre − 5g sugar alcohols = 0g net carbs per tablespoon. This is why keto and low-carb baking recipes focus on net carbs rather than total carbs as the meaningful nutritional measure. Because of this, simply subtracting fiber from total carbs on a standard nutrition label won’t give you the correct net carb count for the final recipe; you must also subtract the sugar alcohols. Always check the label of your specific brand, as formulations vary.

Nutritional values are estimates based on the specific brands used in this recipe. Actual values will vary.
It is important to calculate your own nutritional values using the exact brands you purchase. Nutritional data can differ significantly from brand to brand — and the same brand may list different values in different countries. Canadian, American, and international versions of the same product are often formulated or labelled differently.
