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 havemaltodextrin 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.

3 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe 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 )

WARNING: Don’t use just plain stevia in this recipe because thecookies will come out dry! If you do like stevia, be sure to use a blend.

3 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe 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 siliconebaking 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!

This is an excellent recipe for keto peanut butter cookie!

UPDATE:

Theresa J just told me she used this recipe and this gummy bear mold to make a Peanut Butter Caption Crunch type cereal that’s keto friendly!! BRILLIANT!!! What a great idea!

Do you need to use eggs in this 3 ingredient Keto Peanut Butter cookie recipe?

Yes. Eggs are what help the dough stick together.

What sweetener is best to use when making this 3 ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Cookie recipe?

For the very best results, I used Swerve but in the powdered form. It’s called Swerve Confectioners. It’s a keto friendly sweetener that works perfectly! If you use a different sweetener, you will have to figure out the sweetness ration. Monkfruit also works well but you might add a bit less since it tends to be sweeter.

Here’s a tip. If you only have the granular keto sweetener, you can pulse it in a food processor for just a few seconds and it will turn to the powdered consistency you need to make the perfect keto peanut butter cookies! There’s no need to buy the different types when it takes just a few seconds to do this at home with the right equipment.

What if you dough is too runny?

This is probably because of the nut butter you used. Make sure you mix the peanut butter well before using it. Sometimes the oils separate and need to be mixed. You can also put the nut butter in the fridge to cool it down a bit and make it more easy to handle. If you hands tend to be hot, like mine, you might want to do this before you start. Also, the powdered sweetener will help make this dough less runny. Make sure you use powdered keto sugar as stated above.
