These keto peanut butter cookies are soft, simple, and loaded with nutty flavor. Made with only a handful of low-carb ingredients, they’re the perfect dessert for anyone on a ketogenic diet.
Ingredients
1 cup natural peanut butter
1 large egg
1/2 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of sea salt
Optional: 1 tbsp almond flour for firmer texture
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a bowl, mix peanut butter, egg, sweetener, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
3. Add almond flour if using; stir to combine.
4. Scoop small portions onto the baking sheet and flatten with a fork.
5. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are set.
