Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

This girl has always enjoyed peanut butter cookies, and if memory serves me well, it was the first cookie I made from scratch back when I first started baking.

Adding sugar-free chocolate chips to what we consider perfect keto peanut butter cookies gives a classic recipe a nice twist.

After all, you are getting the best of both worlds: peanut butter cookies and chocolate chips.

These low-carb peanut butter chocolate chip cookies are one everyone will love, even if they are not counting carbs.

Almond Flour Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I know that there are quite a number of keto peanut butter cookie recipes that use only peanut butter and no form of flour. 

However, I must tell you, I’m not a fan. Yes, those are easy cookies, but the flavor and texture just didn’t measure up for me.

The problem I had with those cookie recipes was that they just did not have enough structure and crumbled too easily. And I wanted a keto-friendly peanut butter chocolate chip cookie that I could sink my teeth into.

It’s why I chose to add almond flour to the cookie batter. It’s what gives them a true keto peanut butter chocolate chip cookie experience.

Making these low-carb peanut butter chocolate chip cookie recipes is straightforward and simple.

The only thing to keep in mind is to use peanut butter that is low in carbs and void of sugar. 

The following are a few brands that I can recommend when making keto peanut butter recipes. None of these brands have 

• Spread The Love Organic Peanut Butter
• Justin’s Classic Two Ingredient Peanut Butter
• 365 Everyday Value, Organic Creamy Peanut Butter (contains palm oil but not sugar)
• Teddie All-Natural Peanut Butter (contains palm oil but not sugar)

And to use sugar-free chocolate chips in order to keep the recipe truly low in carbs. I recommend the use of Lily’s chocolate chips, because, frankly, they are amazing. 

However, you can also use Hershey’s sugar-free chocolate chips, ChocZero’s dark chocolate chips or even Hershey’s dark chocolate chips with great results.

Just note that if you use dark chocolate chips, they will be higher in carbs, and you will have to keep that in mind.

The good thing is that a little goes a long way when it comes to flavor. 

The following are the ingredients and tools you’ll need to make these sugar-free peanut butter chocolate chip cookies.

Note that the full printable recipe is at the bottom of the page.

Ingredients Needed:

• All-natural peanut butter
• Unsalted, softened butter
• Granulated sugar substitute
• Vanilla extract
• Egg, room temperature
• Sifted Almond flour
• Baking powder
• Sugar-free chocolate chip
• Sea salt

Tools Needed:

In order to make these keto-friendly peanut butter chocolate chip cookies, you will need a few kitchen tools. Thankfully, these materials are also pretty standard kitchen ones.

• Baking cookie sheet
• Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
• Parchment paper
• Electric mixer, stand-up or handheld 
• Spatula
• Mixing bowl
• Fork
• Cooling rack or wire rack

Best Sugar-Substitutes

I chose to use a white sugar substitute for these cookies.

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.

If you are a regular on our site, you know by now that 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

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 Splenda, which has a bulking agent. It’s the one that comes in larger bags.

Steps In Making Low Carb Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 

As I mentioned earlier, these are super easy keto cookies to make.

You’ll begin by preheating the oven to 350 degrees. Prepare the cookie sheet by either lightly greasing the cookie sheets or lining the baking tray with parchment paper.

Then, using an electric mixer, you’ll combine the peanut butter with the butter, sugar substitute, vanilla extract, and egg.

Next to the wet ingredients, you’ll add the dry ingredients: almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Once the peanut butter cookie dough is ready, you’ll fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and combine well.

Then, drop by tablespoon or small cookie scoop of dough to form little balls and place them on the prepared cookie sheet.

Next, you’ll flatten each cookie with the tines of a fork to make a crisscross design.

Then, bake the cookies until lightly brown around the edges for about 10–12 minutes.

Last but not least, allow the cookies to cool completely before eating and storing, as these cookies can be fragile until fully cool.

Keto Baking

Can I tell you that when I first started baking with low-carb ingredients, I really struggled? That’s because keto baking can be a bit overwhelming.

There are just so many ingredients that simply do not behave exactly like their high-carb counterparts. Frankly, it was frustrating.

Especially since I was an experienced baker who was used to baking with her eyes closed. It was enough to make me want to throw in the towel.

Today, I understand how to work with alternative ingredients and that’s why I want to share my keto baking tips 

So stay the course, because the satisfaction of knowing you are not only making something delicious but healthy is quite rewarding.
