Keto Peanut Butter Cookies. Make no mistake these keto peanut butter cookies are good, good, good and super easy to make. They are about the right size at 3″ and perfect at the end of a good keto lowcarb meal and that’s if you can even fit one in. Also quite nice with an afternoon cup of tea. I don’t eat many desserts as such but I have always loved peanut butter so these keto peanut butter cookies are a rare exception.

- CAVEAT: I use the ingredients that I feel are the best available, for me personally. If you decide to make this (and I sure hope you do) I am unable to vouch for substitute sweeteners. I have multiple reasons for NOT using eryritol with or without oligosaccharides, food grade glycerin, or anything with probiotic tapioca fiber. None of them are as low in carbs as you may have been lead to believe.
- I do occasionally used EZ-Sweetz liquid Sucralose as it adds a different depth of sweetness rather than leaving something one dimensional and neither of the products used here have any carbs in them no matter how much you use. None of the above mentioned can begin to say that which is why you see a nutritional label for 1 t or God forbid ½ t.
- I am now using Allulose.
- As I said, I rarely eat desserts or snacks but, these are an exception.
- If by some chance you are a bit short on peanut butter and...you have tahini...you may use up to 25% replacement with no effect on the final flavor.
What can you sub for EZ Sweetz Liquid Sucralose my husband cant have it
Hi Susanne,
Trying using about 2/3 C of whatever other sweetener you like.
I made these today and they came out very good. I also cannot find allulose so I used a golden erythritol/monk fruit sweetener and the Sucralose drops. There is no artificial sweetener taste at all. My husband likes them too and he is not usually a fan of low carb. I’m diabetic so it is nice to find something we both like. I used almond butter instead of peanut butter.
Hi Judith,
You can always use any sweetener that works for YOU and yes, almond butter instead of peanut butter is OK too.
Hi Marcia,
Assuming you got the stronger of the two EZSweetz that are available, I would use about 3 Drops per cup of flour. That is the ratio I use in the bread recipes. You might want to try less-may-be-better and go from there but the bread has no hint of sweetness.
Sorry to hear you can’t get Allulose but we all do with what we have.
Hope this helps,
Deborah
Hello,
I’ve just purchased carbalose flour and EZ Sweet based on your recipes. I too am not fond of many sweeteners – I especially like EZ Sweet. Questions: Do you have a ratio of flour:EZ sweet to get rid of the bitterness you talk about, ex, 1 cup flour to ___ drops EZ Sweet?
I cannot purchase allulose in Canada (it is not approved) and I believe it will be intercepted if I order from USA tho I am still inquiring trying to purchase it. For now, unfortunately, I am using sugar substitutes that I am not fond of as I believe I do need some “bulk” to recipes vs liquid EZ sweet for them to turn out.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
