Keto Peanut Butter Power Cookies

These keto cookies are very satisfying, for both your body and your taste buds.
While we don't recommend using sugar-alcohol sweeteners like erythritol, small
amounts can be used occasionally on a ketogenic diet. However, most keto cookies
include way too much of this type of sweetener. So this recipe is an alternative
that uses very small amounts while creating a delicious cookie.

Dairy-Free Grain-Free Keto-friendly Phase 1

🧂 Ingredients

1 cup peanut butter (no-sugar or palm oil added)
2 tbsp keto-friendly sweetener like Lakanto or erythritol* or honey for AH Phase 2
1 egg
½ cup almond flour
½ tsp baking soda
⅛ tsp salt
3 ½ ounces dark chocolate (100% chocolate - no sweetener added)

Instructions

1 First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
2 Next, cream together peanut butter and sweetener. Then, stir in the egg until
the mixture is well combined.
3 In a separate bowl, mix together almond flour, baking soda, and salt.
4 Then, add the almond flour mixture to the peanut butter mixture and stir until
well mixed.
5 Finally, chop the chocolate bar into small pieces and stir into the cookie
batter until evenly mixed.
6 Using a rounded tablespoon or 1-inch ice cream scoop, scoop the dough into
2-tablespoon-sized balls and place on a silicone baking mat or parchment-lined
baking tray. Press the balls down with a fork in a crosshatch pattern.
Alternately, roll the dough into a log and slice into twelve equal parts. Place
on the baking mat and press with a fork.
7 Finally, bake for 15 minutes, and then cool for at least 15 minutes before
handling. Gently transfer the cookies to a shallow storage container with a lid.
Refrigerate for at least a few hours to overnight before enjoying.
8 Note: These keto cookies will be crumbly before refrigerating but will firm up
in the fridge.
9 *Lakanto is a natural, zero-calorie, sugar-alcohol, sweetener substitute. It’s a
combination of Monkfruit and erythritol. While we don’t recommend using
sugar-alcohol sweeteners like erythritol, small amounts can be used on a
ketogenic diet. See notes above the recipe for uses with AH.
