Inspiration

I have been patiently waiting for Lily’s to make butterscotch chips (no sugar added), so I could adapt my original homemade oatmeal Scotchies recipe to share with you and now, they are FINALLY here!

My grandparents were huge butterscotch fans and always had some type of sugary sweet butterscotch treat on hand when I was growing up. It is one of my absolute favorite flavors and biggest weaknesses.

I have had so many requests, throughout the years, to make my original oatmeal Scotchies for others. Upon my first trial of this recipe, I had sent some “out in the world” and received a text the following day asking for a batch. Hope you all enjoy this recipe as much as we do!

How to make Low Carb Oatmeal Scotchies

Turn the oven to 350°. Line a half sheet baking pan with parchment paper and spray the parchment paper with non-stick spray.

In a stand mixer with a paddle attachment on low speed or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, cream the room temperature butter until light and creamy. To the butter add the sweeteners and extracts and cream an additional 5 minutes until the sweetener is well incorporated and the butter is airy.

In a small blender or grinder, grind the nuts until they are just well ground, do not over-gride or make into a paste. Place the nuts in a separate bowl along with the almond flour, baking soda, baking powder, xanthan gum (if using) and salt, then mix together.

Add the dry ingredient mixture to the butter mixture one-half at a time, incorporating the first half before adding the next. Fold in the oats, shredded coconut, and butterscotch chips.

Scoop the dough into the palm on your hand and roll the dough into a ball, then place on the baking sheet and lightly press down. Bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until the bottom just starts to brown.
