Easy Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies (Ketogenic, Low Carb, THM:S, Sugar-Free, Gluten Free)

0 Flares Filament.io 0 Flares ×

I adapted my favorite easy peanut butter cookie recipes from my pre-keto days to make these Easy Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies - with only 1 net carb each!

 


Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies

These Keto Peanut butter cookies are the absolute BEST.  They definitely don't last long in my house!

Among Keto nuts, peanuts are often left out – either on purpose on intentionally – because either they're too high in carbs to fit, or because there is someone with a nut allergy in the house.  Either way is ok, but I want to show you that not only can Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookies fit your Ketogenic Macros, they can be super easy too.

Get Keto Quickstart and jumpstart your way to your healthiest self!

With that being said, please don't eat the entire batch in one sitting – that would DEFINITELY mess up your macros.  But 2-3 cookies (or even 4!) would fit nicely.

My Keto Peanut Butter cookies only need 5 ingredients – my 4 year old helped me make these:

  • 1 cup No-Sugar Added Peanut Butter (cream or crunchy)
  • 3/4 cup Lakanto Granulated Sweetener
  • 1/4 cup Almond Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Here's how to make them:

  1. Preheat oven to 350.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl and beat well to combine.
  3. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.  Use a cookie scoop to make round balls of Keto Peanut Butter cookie dough.
  4. Using a fork dipped in extra Lakanto Sweetener, press a criss-cross pattern into the top of each cookie.
  5. Bake for 12-15 minutes, then let cool for 5 minutes on the pan.
  6. Enjoy!

I kept mine on the counter for 2 weeks with no issues, and because they do get a bit hard if kept in the refrigerator.  I'm sure you could get even longer keeping them in the refrigerator, though!

If you love having low carb and keto treats as a part of you lifestyle, then you are going to love these low carb peanut butter cookies.

    These are good. Just a little dry. Are they suppose to be a crumbly batter? I will try adding 2 TBSP of softened butter next time.

      Yes, they will be a bit more crumbly than non-keto peanut butter cookies

    How did you calculate the net carbs? When I put it in Fitness pal it says 11 net carbs? What am I missing?
    the cookies are good but a bit dry I think a bit more butter might be better.

    Thank you,

    Deb

      It could be a couple of different things: 1) the ingredients in MyFitnessPal were entered wrong (not by you, by someone else) and the fiber count is off, making your net carbs higher. 2) You didn’t use the calculation for Lakanto’s Net Carbs. MFP doesn’t show Sugar Alcohols in lakanto, it just counts them all as carbs. I automatically subtract the sugar alcohol in Lakanto. 3) Wrong type of almond flour. I’ve found Bob’s Red Mill has 2x as many net carbs as the Nature’s Path brand that I use. Hope that helps!

    I just made these this afternoon. I found them very crumbly. I baked them a little longer – I put them in the refrigerator and I’m disappointed. I’ve never had Lakanto before and it has a weird cooling feel I’m not fond of. If I make them again I’d use less sweetener, they’re too sweet for us. Has anyone tried Truvia or Stevia?
    The flavor is good, but the consistency & sweetness could be tweaked.
