I prefer using freshly made peanut butter with no added sugar. It’s natural and pure peanut butter. You can find this at your local health food store. If you want more flavor and texture, you can add a little bit of cocoa powder and a few drops of vanilla extract.

This recipe should make 15 small cookies. You can eat immediately after you bake them and store the rest of the cookiesin an airtight container to prevent humidity from affecting their crispnessand texture. Make sure you allow it to cool down first before storing.

How to Make Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

This is a simple low carb cookies recipe I made. You prefer a more complicated one, try this Keto Peanut Butter Coconut Flour Cookies recipe.

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, erythritol, and peanut butter until the cookie dough mixture is smooth and well-combined. If you like, stir in the optional cocoa powder and salt at this stage.

I keep this recipe simple so I didn’t include baking powder, coconut flour or almond flour.

Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Spoon the batter onto the sheet, spacing the cookies evenly apart. You can add some chocolate chips in if you desire.

Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until golden.

Once done, let them cool slightly and enjoy your warm, homemade keto peanut butter cookies!

FAQ

Can I replace peanut butter with almond butter?

Yes, you can replace peanut butter with almond butter in this recipe. Almond butter has a similar consistency and fat content, making it a suitable substitute for peanut butter in most keto recipes. Your cookies will have a slightly different nutty flavor, and make sure to use an unsweetened and natural almond butter to maintain the low-carb quality of the cookies.

Which type of nut butter can I use to make keto cookies?

You can use natural, sugar-free nut butters such as almond, macadamia, or hazelnut butter to make keto cookies, ensuring they are low in carbs and fit within the keto dietary guidelines. Avoid high-carb nut butters such as cashew butter or those with added sugars or hydrogenated oils.

Is peanut butter allowed on the keto diet?

Peanut butter can be suitable for a strict keto diet as long as it is natural and unsweetened, containing only peanuts and possibly a small amount of salt. However, I do acknowledge that some people might choose to avoid peanuts on keto for personal reasons.
