Keto Peanut Butter Cookies are truly a sensational dessert that’s low carb, delicious and only a little bit naughty. This sugar-free cookies recipe doesn’t require much preparation and is on the keto foods list.
These are seriously the best low carb peanut butter cookies you’ll ever try. These low carb sugar-free cookies didn’t last long in my house…. Because I ate them all… in 2 days.
Please make sure that you keep them under lock and key, because these healthy peanut butter cookies are seriously good, but pack a pretty big calorie punch.
How many carbs in Peanut Butter?
There is approximately 15g of carbs in 100g of peanut butter, 6g of which is fibre, so it has around 9g of net carbs per 100g. This is still relatively low carb, but you must make sure that these will fit into your daily carb count before demolishing the entire recipe!
Hopefully, you are not allergic to nuts, otherwise, this recipe may be troublesome. Flour is prohibited on the ketogenic diet, so these are flourless peanut butter cookies. You could even get creative and try these with almond butter, which is a little bit more expensive but tastes fantastic also.
Oleic acid is a common monounsaturated fat in peanut butter. Monounsaturated fat consumption has been associated with decreased low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and possibly increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol.
No flour peanut butter cookies are easy enough to make with your kids, and they should keep for up to 7 days. I kept mine in the fridge, which made them the best peanut butter cookies I’d ever tasted.
If you love having low carb cookies for on the go snacks like Atkins cookies or keto cookies, then you are really going to love this recipe. They should even be suitable as a diabetic peanut butter cookie, but always check your blood sugar levels for sugar substitutes and make sure your levels stay consistent for you.

Ingredient Tip!
The smooth peanut butter will work best for this recipe, however, you can also use almond butter, or try sesame seed butter (also called tahini) for a nut-free option.

Total baking fail on my part… Forgot to add the egg to the nut butter mixture and ended up with crumbly nuts!! Haha… I ended up crumbling the cookie mix back into a bowl with the egg mixed in then rolled them again. They came out a dream!!
I only put in 1/4 cup of Natvia because it’s waaay too sweet for my liking and I baked them in a mini muffin tray – made 18 little cookies!

Dani says
Love all your recipes. Can you please advise the best way to store these ?
FatForWeightLoss says

Zehra says
Is it 5g of carbs per cookie???
FatForWeightLoss says
Correct 🙂
Cathy Manning says
The whole recipe only makes 7 cookies? Hardly worth making unless you double or triple the recipe!
FatForWeightLoss says
Sure! Its enough for one person for at least two weeks, but you might want to increase the servings for a family 🙂
Mary says
Did you add peanuts to them too or was the peanut butter chunky? Looks like there are bits of nuts in there.
FatForWeightLoss says
Chunky peanut butter 😉

I make these cookies with Splenda for baking here in Canada. It’s formulated to be substituted 1 for 1. 1tsp Splenda = 1tsp real sugar.
Aaron Day says
Natvia is used in this recipe!
Gayle says
You’ll have to excuse my ignorance – but what is the sugar substitute? I have clicked on the link and it takes me back to the recipe. Coconut sugar? Xylotal? Maple syrup? Erythrotol? Honey? Obviously not 2/3 cups stevia! HELP!
Anne says
I don’t understand either. Which sugar subsitute could be added in such large quantities? Help we love pranut butter.
sunny says
dear Gayle, it is 2/3 cups of erythritol used and its ofc nor stevia or splenda. erythritol is just a very safe and extremely less in carb sweetner that goes really really well with recipes and also ketogenic diet.
Nancy says
It’s only one cookie per serving.
Darell says
Whats the serving amount? 2 cookies?
Nikky says
The serving size is one cookie, but they are so filling and satisfying that you don’t need more.
