Why Keto?
Why I Chose Keto Baking – And Why It Might Be Right for You Too
Hi, I’m Annie — the founder and baker behind Keto Dough.
If you’ve ever looked at one of my cookies and wondered, “Wait… how is this keto?” — you’re not alone!
Let me share a little story.
From Cravings to Clean Eating
I started baking keto treats because I was tired of feeling guilty every time I wanted something sweet. Most store-bought desserts are packed with sugar, flour, and processed junk. I wanted something better — something I could enjoy and feel good about.
That’s how Keto Dough was born.
What Is Keto, Anyway?
Keto is short for “ketogenic” — a way of eating that focuses on low carbs, moderate protein, and healthy fats. It helps some people lose weight, manage blood sugar, and feel more energized. But even if you’re not on the keto diet, you can still enjoy keto-friendly treats.
Why Keto Treats?
Here’s what makes Keto Dough different:
-
No sugar crashes – We use natural, low-carb sweeteners like erythritol and monk fruit
-
Low net carbs – So you can satisfy your cravings without the carb overload
-
Gluten-free & grain-free – Almond flour, coconut flour, and clean ingredients only
-
Dairy-free options – Because everyone deserves dessert
-
Freshly baked, not processed – Always made with love and real ingredients
Not Just for “Keto People”
Most of my customers aren’t strict keto. Some have diabetes. Some are cutting back on sugar. Some just love a good cookie that won’t make them feel sluggish afterward. Whatever your reason, you’re welcome here.
Try It for Yourself
I always say: “Treat yourself, guilt-free.” That’s not just a slogan — it’s the heart of everything I bake.
Thank you for being here. 💖
If you’re new to Keto Dough, I invite you to try a cookie and see what all the hype is about.
🧁 Our Ingredients
We believe in transparency and quality. Here's a closer look at the ingredients we use in our baked goods:

A sugar alcohol with about 70% the sweetness of sugar and nearly zero calories. It does not spike blood sugar or insulin.
Xylitol
A plant-based sweetener found in fruits and vegetables. About 70% as sweet as sugar, it has fewer calories and a low glycemic impact.
🥥 Healthy Fats & Oils
Coconut Oil
A wholesome oil extracted from coconut meat, rich in MCTs (medium-chain triglycerides).
We use high-quality, unrefined coconut oil for the best taste and benefits.
Butter
We use real butter for rich flavor and texture. It provides natural fats that support a moist, satisfying bite in our cookies and cakes.
