Simple No-Bake Keto Cookies
🛒 What You’ll Need🍪
- 1 cup Creamy natural peanut butter (no sugar added!) 🥜
- ½ cup Coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted 🧈
- ½ cup Powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener ☁️
- ¼ cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (for a chocolate version) 🍫
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
- 1 ½ cups Chopped pecans or walnuts (adds that perfect crunch!) 🥜✨
- Optional: Sugar-free chocolate chips for extra indulgence as seen in the photo! 🍫💎
👩🍳 Instructions
- Melt & Mix: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and coconut oil (or butter). Heat for 30 seconds and stir until completely smooth. 🥣🌪️🔥
- Sweeten the Deal: Whisk in your Keto-friendly sweetener, vanilla extract, and cocoa powder (if using). Stir until the sweetener has fully dissolved. ☁️🍦🍫
- The Texture: Fold in your chopped pecans or walnuts. The nuts act as the “binder” to give these cookies a hearty, satisfying texture! 🥜🤝
- Scoop it Up: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop mounds of the mixture onto the sheet. 🥄📐
- The Garnish: Press a few extra pecan halves or sugar-free chocolate chips into the tops for that bakery-style finish! 🥜🍫👑
- The Big Chill: Place the tray in the freezer for at least 30–45 minutes until the cookies are firm and set. ⏲️❄️🧤
- Store: Keep these stored in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container—they will soften if left at room temperature too long! 🧊📦✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “Salt” Secret: If your peanut butter is unsalted, add a tiny pinch of sea salt to the batter. It makes the chocolate and nut flavors pop! 🧂🛡️💎
- Crunch Factor: For an even better texture, lightly toast your chopped nuts in a dry pan for 2 minutes before stirring them in! 🥜🥨🎯
