Another year has come and gone. Another year full of delicious keto recipes! Here are the top 10 recipes of 2022. Did your favorites make the cut?
I do this sort of retrospective post every year because I love creating keto recipes. And I always find it fascinating to look back over the past 12 months to see which of those recipes resonated most with my readers and followers.
Not everything does hit its mark, of course. Some recipes that I love just don’t seem to catch the attention of my audience. Whereas others seem to go completely viral for no apparent reason.
Sometimes the Google gods smile upon you, sometimes the social media gods smile upon you, and sometimes a recipe just happens to be what everyone was looking for at that very moment.
So without further ado, here were my most popular keto recipes of the year!

Chocolate Chip Cookies
I am absolutely delighted that my Keto Chocolate Chip Cookies met with such enthusiastic approval from my readers and fans. It is the result of several months of recipe testing to achieve the perfect chewy consistency and buttery, rich flavor. I actually debuted the recipe with some trepidation, worrying that other people wouldn’t find it as good as I did.
My worries were unfounded, thankfully, and it’s my most popular keto recipe of 2022. Hooray!
These cookies are sheer perfection! I was trained as a professional chef so I know my way around cookies. Ever since I took control of my health and reversed type 2 diabetes and hypertension by eating a ketogenic lifestyle I’m always looking for delicious and yummy keto recipes. Carolyn has a plethora but these cookies hit it out of the ballpark! – Greg
Chicken Fritters
The moment I bit into one of these cheesy Chicken Fritters, I knew I was onto something. They were juicy and tender, with a nice crust from the cheddar cheese. They taste amazing and kids love them just as much as adults do. While they are meant to be an appetizer, they make an easy make-ahead lunch too. Pop them in your fridge and enjoy them all week long!
Delicious with a little chipotle ranch dressing too!
These Are Awesome!!! I made them for me, as I am the one eating Keto, and my husband and son tore into them! I had one, maybe two and then I noticed our son taking them home…LOL! – Allison
Keto Hot Chocolate
This is another recipe that I am absolutely thrilled made the cut. I wanted a Sugar Free Hot Chocolate Mix that I could feel good about, with clean ingredients and great flavor. I tested and re-tested it, over and over, until I had it just right. I made my kids, my harshest critics, test it out as well!
I love this recipe because you can customize it to your palate. You can make it sweeter or less sweet. And you can add any number of delicious flavor variations!
I love this hot chocolate easy mix! As a diabetic it has saved me as I don’t drink coffee or tea. This warms me up. Thank you so much for making this recipe. – Dauneen
Lemon Bar Cookies
Everyone loves a good lemon bar, am I right? But this recipe puts a fun little classic on the classic bar. Keto Lemon Bar Cookies feature tender sugar cookie crusts filled with a bright, lemony sugar-free filling.
I should have known this one would be a hit, since my Keto Lemon Curd is so popular. That’s all the filling really is, cut down to fit the size of the recipe.
I made this recipe for a “cookie bar” we were having at our church. I wanted to make something that I could eat but that all the ladies would eat, too without telling them they were “keto” or “diet” (you know what I mean). I made these beautiful little magic little guys and they were just a huge hit!! Everyone loved them immensely.. I have made so many of Carolyn’s recipes I was still shocked at how yummy they tasted. – Sandra
Carrot Cake
What on earth took me so long to make a classic Keto Carrot Cake? Well to be honest, I thought it wasn’t a very interesting flavor of cake so I avoided it. And then I made this and I fell HARD for it. The moist, spice cake flavor contrasts so beautiful with the rich cream cheese frosting.
I’ve become a carrot cake convert and I have this keto recipe to thank for it. And so do you!
This carrot cake is fabulous! Almost every keto dessert recipe I’ve made has turned out yucky or not so good. But this recipe is wonderful! My husband even liked it…he never eats anything that’s keto! I will definitely make this again! – Mary
Keto Breadsticks
Looking for the perfect side to sop up your favorite soups and stews? Look no further than these Keto Breadsticks. They’re easy to make and dripping with delicious garlic butter. And they’re not made with fathead dough… which means you can make them completely dairy-free if you so desire.
I definitely enjoyed these when I had made them but I was truly surprised by how much I loved them reheated the day after! Having the garlic and butter seep in overnight added an extra layer of deliciousness! – Kelly
Single Serve Brownie
Need a rich, chocolatey dessert but don’t want any leftovers? Then this Keto Mug Brownie has your name written all over it. It’s rich and gooey, and has only 2.4g net carbs per serving.
And just in case that wasn’t enough to convince you, I give you THREE different cooking methods: oven, microwave, and air fryer!
Delicious! This definitely met my chocolate craving. I added some Lily’s chocolate and topped with keto butter pecan ice cream. Thank you for sharing your recipes and helping me stay on track even when I have a sweet tooth. – NaTasha
Cheesy Spinach Squares
I am delighted to see this recipe on the list because these Spinach Squares totally exceeded my expectations. I liked them so much I made them four times in the span of a few weeks.
They make a great appetizer, but they’re also wonderful as a side dish, quick snack, or a grab-and-go breakfast!
These were delicious! I made them as a side to veggie soup today to test the recipe. They will make great appetizers or even on the dinner table at thanksgiving! – Kathy
Flourless Peanut Butter Muffins
These Keto Peanut Butter Muffins went viral almost from Day 1. And if you try them out, you will see why. They have an amazing fluffy but moist texture from the collagen and peanut butter. And they have no flour of any kind at all!
They also have 15g of protein per serving, helping you stay full and on track throughout the morning.
Love these!! I stuck to the exact recipe and they turned out great. Flavorful, fluffy, and with the perfect muffin texture. They’re amazing reheated in the microwave for 20 seconds. Will definitely be making these again. – Carrie
Flourless Chocolate Cake
Another flourless recipe makes the grade. This Keto Flourless Chocolate Cake is like digging into a slice of fudge. It’s so rich and dense. And unlike many flourless cakes, it’s remarkably easy to make! There’s no separating of eggs or whipping egg whites. And everything gets mixed up in the same pot.
It’s absolutely dreamy and it’s completely dairy-free too.
I made this earlier this morning-super easy to make. This is genuine your eyes roll back in your head delicious cake. (happy dance going on here) At first I thought a 1/12th of a slice, how skimpy. No….. this is so rich and decadent I couldn’t possibly eat anymore at one sitting. – Jackie
