What I Love About This Low Carb No Bake Cookies Recipe

Recipe Notes
These low carb no bake peanut butter cookies are completely customizable and so totally easy to make. Here’s what you need to know before getting started:
Ingredient Notes
Butter – Making keto no bake cookies calls for butter, but coconut oil can be used instead. Coconut oil has a higher melting point than butter so keep that in mind if you live in a warmer aread.
Either way, both give your low carb no bake cookies that rich, fatty goodness and glossy, chocolate shine!
Peanut Butter – Part of the tastiness of these keto nutter butters comes from low carb peanut butter! Check the label, and be sure to grab a jar with no added sugar!
Erythritol – (the sweetener in these bad boys) is a zero calorie sweetener that’s great for low carb baking.
Lakanto makes my favorite erythritol — their granular sweetener is a combo of erythritol and monk fruit so you don’t get the aftertaste (that weird cooling sensation) from the erythritol!
How to Store These
Storing these low carb no bake cookies in an airtight container will keep them fresh and ready to go whenever you are.
This dessert is counter stable depending on the outside temp, they’ll melt in a warmer climate! Technically, they don’t need to be refrigerated but I like keeping mine in the fridge because they disappear quickly on the counter!
Can You Freeze These?
These little low carb no bake cookies freeze beautifully! For incredibly tasty, easy to make desserts you can grab whenever you’re craving them.
Pst — I find freezing low carb no bake cookies stops me from eating too many in one sitting!
Serving Recommendations
OMG!! There are so many different ways you can serve these low carb no bake cookies it may send you into a sweet, delicious slumber!
Of course, you can always just eat them, or you can crumble them and layer them with low carb pudding for a more refined dessert. Speaking of crumbling, they also go great on top of keto Greek yogurt.
Cutting them in half lengthwise or making them thin means you can sandwich a scoop of low carb ice cream and – Ta-Dah!! Homemade low carb ice cream sandwiches. I mean, is there anything better?
Recipe Variations
Customizing this recipe is the fun part. You can toss in just about any crunchy, chewy morsel that your heart desires…
- Substitute the peanut butter for nut butter of choice. Like in my almond flour peanut butter cookies, where I use almond butter instead — you’ll hardly taste the difference. You can also use sunflower, walnut or pecan butter.
- Mix in chocolate chips for keto chocolate chip cookies!
- Use your favorite keto nuts and seeds of your choice. Think sunflower seeds, flax seeds, and macadamia nuts, yum!
- Stir in some spices! Try cinnamon for no bake low carb snickerdoodles, or ginger ala low carb gingerbread cookies.

Lindsey's Tips
- Cocoa Powder. I much prefer dutch process cocoa powder in sweets, as it’s significantly less bitter than regular!
- Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
- Peanut Butter often contains added sugar. Read labels carefully before purchasing -- I love Justin's or Trader Joe's brand
