What I Love About This Low Carb No Bake Cookies Recipe
Well, first off, they’re cookies — what’s not to love?? But seriously, here are some of my favorite reasons why keto no bake cookies is one of the best healthy recipes around:
- Sinfully delicious
- Totally healthy
- Customizable
- No flour, no baking
- EASY!!
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

Hi Marcy, I’m SO happy to hear you like this recipe as much as I do!!! Being home all day makes it hard to keep weight off, right? Little treats like this make me feel satiated without a ton of carbs, so worth it 🙂

Yes Marilyn. Let me know if you give this a try. Enjoy!?
These were so good!!! Love all your recipes!
Yahoo! So happy you enjoyed it Julie! Thanks for the support ??
Just a little confused. The ingredients lists 1/2 cup butter, but in your write up you mention cocoa butter and also coconut oil. So not sure what that 1/2 cup butter should be: regular butter, cocoa butter, or coconut oil? Thanks!
Hi JT! Sorry about that, I just updated the recipe card earlier this week, and must have missed the ingredient notes in the article! Just made the changes — we prefer butter for this recipe as it has a higher melting point (less chocolate on your fingers when you eat them ?). Hope you enjoy!
Love all your recipes,
Am a little confused, ingredients list 1/2 cup butter, but in your ingredient notes you mention coconut oil and cocoa butter. Please clarify if the 1/2 cup butter is dairy butter, coconut oil, or cocoa butter? So excited to make these! Thanks
Hi Jean! Sorry about that, I just updated the recipe and swapped the coconut oil for butter, I prefer butter here because coconut oil melts so easily. I hope you enjoy and thank you for your kind words!
I made this cookie no bake with almond butter and it is good. My granddaughter at nearly all of them. I think I’m going to try making them with coconut flour. They are yummy.
Awesome Sharon! I am so glad you and your granddaughter enjoyed this recipe ? Thanks for being here ?
Can I use Stevia Sweetner with this recipe??

I am a 78 soon to be 79 tear old widower./ Been on keto of one author or another since April 1, 2019> personaly I have tried over
500 recipes in that time frame and have settled on a one and two favorite. Since I am writing this on Little Pine that gives you the number one.
As I said that I live alone except for Missy my Maltise lap dog, and do my own cooking. I find her recipes to be the simplest of all the authors.
Just did the low carb no bake cookies. I will be doing them again and again for my 15 great grand children and friends.
Keep those recipes coming.
Thanks
Troy (POPS) Poppop. Heck it dosen’t matter
Sounds great Troy! People like you are one of the reasons why I keep the blog going ? This means the world. I hope the kids would enjoy it! Thank you so much ?
How about if I left the coconut out? Dont like the cocnut texture. Do you think it would be OK?
Hi Becky! That would be totally fine, just use an additional 1/2 cup of chopped nuts. I hope you enjoy ?
These are the Best that I have tried! My husband even loves them! Just gotta have a bite of sweet❤️❤️
Thanks Charlotte! Happy to hear you and your husband loves it!?
I made these using half allulose and half Lakanto erythritol/monkfruit blend and they were delicious! Will definitely make these cookies again and again.
Hi Bonnie, I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it and your feedback!🥰
So I didn’t read the directions well enough and used granulated monk fruit. They still turned out fantastic. Thank you for a great recipe
Hi Nicole, I’m so glad to hear that this recipe turned out well for you, thanks for making it and your feedback!😁
Does it matter if you choose to not use coconut or nuts? Some of my children dislike one or the other, and im looking for a recipe to replace the traditionally recipe. Maybe I can decrease the peanut butter or oats? Thanks.
Hi Stacy! Yes, you can swap the coconut and nuts for oats–that would be a more traditional version (not low carb) of this recipe. Hope you enjoy!
