Looking for an easy Keto No Bake Cookie that has a rich peanut butter flavor? Look no further than my low carb no bake cookie recipe that has an amazing crunch, deep flavor, and are super easy to make!


Keto No Bake Cookies
{THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic, Sugar-Free}

Peanut-buttery, fudgey, and crunchy are just a few of the words used to describe these delicious Keto No Bake Cookies.

I’ve created these with a Scotcheroo in mind, wanting to get those delicious flavors and crunch – but without all the carbs!

Looking for an easy Keto No Bake Cookie that has a rich peanut butter flavor? Look no further than my low carb no bake cookie recipe that has an amazing crunch, deep flavor, and are super easy to make!I’m always trying to create low-carb or keto versions of some of the tasty treats that many people miss once they switch to a Ketogenic lifestyle.  Life is supposed to be about freedom, not restriction, right?

These Keto No Bake Cookies are a fantastic way to transition to sugar-free sweeteners because peanut butter is naturally sweet, and the peanut butter and butterscotch flavors tend to overpower most of the other flavors (in whatever baked good they’re in) which covers up the sweetener aftertaste that many people have trouble getting used to.

I will tell you, though, that if you’re struggling with sweeteners, your tastes WILL change.  

In the beginning of my ketogenic journey, I decided to cut out everything sweet, so when I did start to incorporate them they tasted so good I didn’t even notice the aftertaste.

My husband, on the other hand, struggled with the aftertaste for a couple of months until his taste buds adjusted and we started using Lakanto Sweeteners almost exclusively.  I’ve found that these have the least glycemic impact, taste the best, and bake the best.

My keto No Bake Cookies are made using peanut butter – which has seemed to spark debate on social media.  

Looking for an easy Keto No Bake Cookie that has a rich peanut butter flavor? Look no further than my low carb no bake cookie recipe that has an amazing crunch, deep flavor, and are super easy to make!Some hardcore keto-ers will say that peanut butter “isn’t keto.”

This is a hard issue to address, but what I will help clarify is this: the traditional Ketogenic Diet eliminate all legumes.

Technically, the peanut is a legume.

However, you can tell from this recipe that I embrace all things peanut, even though I’m keto.

Here’s why: peanuts do not affect the blood sugar like traditional legumes do.  Using all-natural peanut butter with no added sweeteners has a much lower carbohydrate count, and a much higher fiber count, making it acceptable to use in a ketogenic or low carb diet, if you choose to do so.

That being said, if you haven’t been using peanut butter, but want to try just a bit, this is the recipe to do so.

These cookies are delicious and crunchy, and you won’t regret it!

  • Almond Butter
  • Cashew Butter
  • Macadamia Nut butter

Here’s what you’ll need:

For the cookies:

½ cup butter
¾ cup Peanut Butter (no sugar added)
⅓ cup Powdered Lakanto Sweetener
½ tsp Stevia Glycerite
½ tsp Butterscotch Extract
4 cup coarsely crushed Pork Rinds
For the Chocolate Ganache:
½ cup Lily’s Chocolate Chips
½ cup Heavy Cream

Directions:

Crush the pork rinds – measure out the 4 cups AFTER crushing – and set aside.
In a large saucepan, over medium heat, combine the peanut butter, butter, Powdered Sweetener, and Stevia Glycerite, stirring until melted and smooth.
Stir in the Butterscotch Extract, then add the crushed pork rinds.
Drop by the spoonful onto a piece of parchment paper. The mixture will make 8 large cookies or 16 small cookies.
While the cookies cool, make the ganache by placing the Lily’s Chips and heavy whipping cream in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the chips are melted.
Let the ganache cool and thicken slightly (about 10 minutes removed from the heat) then spoon into a ziploc bag.  Snip off the corner of the bag and drizzle over the cookies.
Place the cookies into the refrigerator for 3-4 hours until firm, then enjoy!

    What is the Stevia Glycerite for? I never heard of it and didn’t see a link to buy it.

    Is there anything I can use in place of the butterscotch exact that would still taste good?

      Caramel or butter extract would both be good, or if you prefer peanut butter, just leave it out!
