The Vegan Keto Diet Dessert: No-Bake Coconut Keto Cookies
Coconut is a great source of healthy fat on this diet, but this time you'll be turning it into chewy, delicious cookies. This recipe is so easy it doesn't require baking, and is made in a single saucepan so cleaning up is a snap. Coconut oil is unlike other fats because while most fats are categorized as long-chain triglycerides (LCTs), coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are metabolized in your liver so your body uses them as a quick source of energy, meaning you'll burn them off. Enjoy this treat when you're having an active day!
