Why you’ll love this recipe
- Just 3 ingredients. Peanut butter, eggs, and a sweetener is all you’ll need.
- No flour needed. Unlike traditional cookies, there is no flour or grains in them, but you’d never tell.
- Ready in 10 minutes. The entire baking time is just 10 minutes, which means these are the kind of cookies you can make instantly.

Ingredients needed
Like classic peanut butter cookies, these use pretty much identical ingredients but minus the sugar and carbs! Here is what you’ll need:
- Peanut butter. Smooth, drippy peanut butter is best. Aim for the all-natural kind, with no added sugar.
- Keto sweetener. I like using allulose, but monk fruit and erythritol can both be used.
- Egg. Room temperature eggs.
Simple is truly an understatement to make this recipe. All together, these cookies take no time to make! Ready to whip up some cookies?
Step 1- Make the batter
Start by adding the peanut butter, sweetener, and egg into a mixing bowl and mixing until combined.
Step 2- Bake the cookies
Next, use a 2-inch cookie scoop to scoop out portions of the dough and place them on a lined baking sheet. Bake the cookies for 10-12 minutes, or until just firm around the edges.
Let the cookies cool on the pan completely.
Tips to make the best recipe
- Avoid over-baking the cookies as they continue to firm up as they are cooling down.
- Do not use crunchy or super thick peanut butters or else the dough will be very hard to form.
- Fold through some chocolate chips, dried fruit, or even a chopped up candy bar.
Storage instructions
Wondering what is the best way to store leftovers? Here are best practices for cookie storage.
