Ingredient substitutions
If you need to make adjustments or substitutions for the ingredients, here are some alternatives that you can consider:
- Instead of almond flour, you can use coconut flour as a nut-free option, although you may need to adjust the quantity since coconut flour is more absorbent.
- If you can't find sugar-free sprinkles, you can make your own by using food-grade natural food coloring and unsweetened shredded coconut.
- To make this recipe vegan, substitute the eggs with flax eggs or chia eggs, and use plant-based butter and dairy-free chocolate chips.
- Instead of granulated erythritol, you can use another keto-friendly sweetener such as xylitol, monk fruit sweetener, or allulose.
Remember that making substitutions might affect the texture, flavor, and nutritional values of the final product.
Additional ingredients
You can customize this Keto Skillet Confetti Cookie recipe by adding some extra ingredients to suit your taste preferences. Here are some ideas:
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
- Mix in some chopped nuts like almonds, walnuts, or pecans for added crunch and a boost of healthy fats.
- Stir in unsweetened shredded coconut for a tropical twist.
- Include a few drops of food-grade essential oils, such as orange or lemon, for a burst of citrus flavor.
- Swirl in a spoonful of your favorite sugar-free nut butter for added richness and depth of flavor.
Please note that adding some of these ingredients may affect the overall keto-friendliness of the recipe. Make sure to adjust the quantities and keep track of the nutritional information to ensure you stay within your desired keto guidelines.

How to make Confetti Skillet Cookie: step-by-step guide
Cooking Methods
The primary cooking method for this cookie is baking. You'll bake the cookie in a preheated oven, ensuring even cooking and a perfectly golden crust. Baking allows the cookie to achieve a soft, chewy texture while maintaining its delightful, colorful appearance.
Preparation steps
- Gather all the required ingredients and measure them accurately.
- Preheat the oven to 350° F (175° C).
- Grease an 8-inch cast-iron skillet with a small amount of butter.
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened butter for the frosting with an electric hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Instructions
- Heat the butter over medium-low heat in the prepared 8-inch cast-iron skillet. Once melted, stir in the egg, vanilla, and erythritol.
- Once combined, stir in the almond flour, sea salt, and baking powder along with the sprinkles. Use a spatula to smooth out the top.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out semi-clean. Cool completely.
- In a medium bowl with the beaten butter, add the powdered erythritol and vanilla. Beat until combined. If the frosting is too thick, thin it with heavy cream, 1 tablespoon at a time, until your desired consistency is reached. Transfer to a piping bag fitted with a star attachment.
- Decorate the cookie to your specifications, then sprinkle with additional sprinkles. Slice and serve.
