3 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
I’ve made this recipe a few times and each time with different sugar substitute options. I’ve used the Swerve powdered sugar, Powdered Stevia, and Erythritol. All of these taste really good with very little difference. You use whichever one you like best in this recipe. Please note, stevia tends to leave a bad aftertaste for some. Splenda has no aftertaste but it does have maltodextrin in it. You have to decide which is best for you.
We’ve also made this recipe with different types of peanut butter too. Believe it or not, the peanut butter also makes a difference in the outcome of this recipe. Be sure to use a natural peanut butter that doesn’t have sugar.
Ingredients
1 large egg
1 cup peanut butter Smuckers Natural peanut butter has nothing but nuts and salt
1/2 cup keto approved sweetener of your choice Xylitol, erythritol, Pyure or monk fruit each of these sweeteners may be a different ratio compared to regular sugar. Please take that into account when you measure out a half a cup
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
In a medium size bowl, add all the ingredients in a bowl and mix them all together until it’s well combined.
Roll the dough into 1 inch balls using a scoop or your hands.
Place the balls of dough on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Tip: Those silicone baking mats are amazing! Cookies are evenly cooked and the cookie crust comes out perfect every single time! If you don’t have any, I highly recommend ordering this Silicone Baking Mat Set on Amazon. It’s money well spent!
Press down on each ball with a fork twice in opposite directions creating a criss-cross pattern on each cookie as seen in the photos below.
You will bake these cookies for about 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Allow them to cool down for about 5 minutes before removing them from the tray.
Store them in an airtight container if you have any left after the family gets a sniff of the wonderful aroma that leads through the house and gets them hovering over you in the kitchen just waiting to devour them!
