You only need a few ingredients to make these sensational keto-friendly cookies at home.
To make the filling, you'll need peanut butter (or your preferred type of nut butter), coconut flour, brown sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
To make the coating, you'll need to mix melted keto-friendly chocolate with coconut oil. So easy, anyone can do it!
It couldn't be any easier to make no-bake keto peanut butter cookies. Mix the peanut butter, coconut flour, sweetener, vanilla, and salt in a large bowl until totally smooth. Scoop the dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Press them down slightly to flatten them, then transfer the tray to your freezer for at least 1 hour so the filling can harden up.
After an hour, beat the coconut oil and melted keto chocolate in a bowl to combine. Dunk the peanut butter filling into the chocolate mixture with a fork. Make sure it's entirely coated, then pop it back onto the tray. Repeat with the remaining peanut butter fillings. Drizzle with extra melted peanut butter and freeze for 10 more minutes, then enjoy!
You can use other types of keto-friendly flour to make these tasty cookies, especially if you aren't keen on coconut. Almond flour, flaxseed flour, and chia flour are all excellent substitutes.
Use any type of nut butter to make these cookies. Almond butter, cashew butter, and hazelnut butter are all delicious options.
You can use other types of keto-friendly chocolate like milk or white chocolate.
Keep your keto cookies in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
