The following are the ingredients and tools you’ll need to make low-carb peanut butter cookies. Note that the full printable recipe card is at the bottom of the page.

How To Make No-Bake Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Making these no-bake keto cookies is as easy as it gets.

You’ll start by mixing in a medium-sized bowl, using an electric mixer, the peanut butter, softened butter, sugar substitute, coconut oil, salt, and vanilla extract.

Then, place the cookie dough in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to chill. This will make it easier to form the dough balls.

While the dough is chilling, place your salted peanuts into a large zip-lock bag and crush them using a rolling pin. Set the crushed peanuts into a small bowl to roll the dough in.

Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop the dough and form the balls.

Then you’ll place the dough ball individually into the small bowl with the crushed peanuts and cover the entire surface of the dough with the peanut pieces.

Then place each cookie that has been rolled in the crushed peanuts on a parchment-lined sheet and slightly flatten them.

Next, place the cookies in the refrigerator for up to 30 minutes to firm them up.

Store the cookies in an airtight container for up to five days or frozen for up to 3 weeks.

Best Sugar-Free Sweeteners For Sugar-Free No-Bake Peanut Butter Cookies

When choosing a low-carb sweetener for these keto cookies, any of your favorite equivalents would work. Just keep in mind that they have varying degrees of sweetness.

Some sugar substitutes measure cup for cup, while others are not as sweet as sugar and would require more in order to get the same level of sweetness.

I’m a huge fan of Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener.

This is because the texture of Lakanto is spot on since there is barely any aftertaste.

It is a monk fruit and erythritol blend. If you have not given this all-natural sweetener a try, you have no idea what you are missing. 

That being said, I’m also partial to Swerve, another erythritol blend.  It works well in this recipe and is a great choice if you are looking for a sugar substitute that has no bitter aftertaste and measures just like sugar.

Swerve is made from ingredients found in select fruits and starchy root vegetables and contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, or flavors.

Like Lankanto, Swerve has a 0 % impact on blood sugar. I know some of you are stevia fans; if that’s you, you can use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure in this recipe.

However, it’s important to note that if you are using Pyure, you will want to use 1/2 the amount called for in this recipe since it’s a much sweeter option.

Lastly, if you cannot easily find a more natural sugar substitute, you can also use Splenda with great success. You will want to use the Splenda that has a bulking agent. It’s the one that comes in larger bags.
