In our home, peanut butter is a staple. We all love it, even though hubby and I are following a keto diet and eating natural peanut butter now.
Keto Friendly Peanut Butter Cookies – Gluten Free
This recipe is a keto friendly variation of my “go to recipe” when we wanted a sweet peanut buttery treat. A gluten free, sugar free option to the traditional peanut butter cookie.
If you are making these with Natural Peanut butter, you will have to add flour (we used almond flour), so they are not too runny. Using other peanut butters may require less flour, since it will be thicker. It was trial and error this morning, and I think I nailed it for an occassional treat, for the keto plan, and the whole family can enjoy a Peanut Butter snack!

"Chocolate" Drizzle
- I wanted to add a little chocolate flavour to the Keto version of these, so I mixed 2 Tbsp Cocoa and 1 Tbsp Cocount Oil. Microwave for 15 seconds and stir. Using a spoon, drizzle over cookie and let set.
- Options: You can melt Sugar Free Chocolate Chips with a little vegetable or coconut oil and use to drizzle as well.
