Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
Ingredients:
-
1 cup natural peanut butter (smooth or crunchy, no sugar added)
-
½ cup powdered erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
-
1 large egg
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
¼ tsp baking powder (optional, for a slightly softer texture)
-
A pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
Instructions:
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a medium bowl, mix together peanut butter, sweetener, egg, vanilla, and baking powder until a smooth dough forms.
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the baking sheet. Flatten each one gently with a fork, creating a crisscross pattern.
-
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden. Do not overbake — they’ll firm up as they cool.
-
Cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy with a cup of coffee or almond milk!
These keto peanut butter cookies are everything you want in a classic cookie — tender, rich, and packed with peanut flavor.

They’re simple, satisfying, and full of nostalgia in every bite.
With only a few ingredients and minimal prep, these cookies are as easy as they are delicious. Each one is gluten-free, sugar-free, and keto-approved, making them an ideal snack or dessert when you want something sweet but healthy. Enjoy them plain, drizzle with melted sugar-free chocolate, or sandwich two together with a bit of keto frosting for an extra indulgent treat.
