Recipe Update- We have seen some comments on social media stating they don't like this recipe because they "taste too much like peanut butter" or "have a fudge like texture instead of a cookie".

Our explanation- These no bake cookies are meant to be a low carb, keto snack approved version of a traditional NO BAKE COOKIE. Which... is nothing like a cookie at all. They too, tend to have a more fudge like texture.

Peanut Butter or Chocolate Keto Cookies

As for the peanut butter flavor-These taste like peanut butter unless you add cocoa to make the chocolate peanut butter version. Hope this additional information helps clarify what the low carb no bake cookies recipe is!

You can of course make them chocolate keto cookies! See below.

Keto Dessert Recipes

A quick look at alternative sweeteners.

Unfortunately, it can be hard to cut back refined sugar and get use to the flavor of all natural sweeteners. These keto no bake cookies are a great way to transition into using all natural sweetener because very little is needed. Recipes like our keto coconut cookies can help your palette adjust to the sweetener flavor.

Our Sweetener Recommendations

This no bake keto cookies have saved my life, not joking! They help me kick any craving that may otherwise have kicked me out of ketosis.

Monkfruit is far less bitter and has absolutely no after taste or cooling, therefore we recommend using this as your low carb sweetener choice.. In this keto no bake cookie recipe there is so much chocolate flavor the sweetener is hidden.

Is Peanut Butter Keto?

Ok so these low carb no bake cookies are made with peanut butter. There is a lot of debate about whether or not peanuts and peanut butter are actually keto approved. Here is the short story on that - the keto diet eliminates legumes. A peanut is technically a legume.

However, they do not affect the blood sugar as traditional legumes do. Using an all natural peanut butter will give a higher fiber count with lower sugar. Thus, less carbs. There are a lot of keto dessert recipes out there using peanut butter.

Use an Alternative Nut Butter for Low Carb No Bake Cookies

If you eat 100% strict or Paleo , you can skip the peanut butter and use any nut butter you desire for these keto no bake cookies.

The recipe makes 18 cookies, nutrition is based on a serving size of 2.

Here is how to make our Keto No Bake Cookies in step by step photo instructions, we have however provided the Full Recipe Card Below. Nutrition information and reviews can be found there.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons real butter
• ⅔ cup all natural peanut butter (or your choice of nut butter)
• 1 cup unsweetened all natural shredded coconut
• 4 drops of vanilla Lakanto or 2 tablespoon granulated sweetener of choice
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions

In a microwave safe dish, melt the butter. NOTE- if using granulated sweetener instead of the stevia liquid drops , add it here. The sugar will need to dissolve.

Stir in the peanut butter until smooth. If you chose to make these with cocoa powder, add it now. There are two flavor versions of these no bake cookies, peanut butter and then the classic chocolate with peanut butter.

Next, add stevia (unless you used granulated sweetener) and coconut. Mix well.

Using a 2 inch scoop, or eye ball it like I often do, scoop onto cookie sheet. If you wish to line your pan use wax paper so they do not stick. However, these did not stick to our uncovered pan. Once frozen they popped right off.

Freeze for 5-10 minutes.

Store in a sealed bag, refrigerated. If you do not store these cookies in the fridge they will be sticky.

What one reader had to say about our keto no bake cookies:

Our whole house enjoys these cookies regardless of them being keto! Thanks for an amazing recipe.

Keto Coconut Cookies

Using coconut for this easy keto no bake cookie alternative was a fantastic idea, however we are often asked what else can be used. Some people have an allergy to coconut or simply do not like it. We suggest using slivered almonds or a mix of crushed nuts.

Recently, a follower mentioned using oats... this recipe was created to be a low carb keto approved version of the traditional no bake oat cookie. Since oats are a high glycemic food and not technically keto approved we do not suggest using them while eating the keto way.
