Keto Peanut Butter Blossoms: A Classic Cookie Made Keto-Friendly

Indulge in a delightful Keto-friendly version of the classic Peanut Butter Blossoms, a timeless cookie that combines the irresistible flavors of peanut butter and chocolate. This recipe offers a guilt-free treat that satisfies your sweet cravings while adhering to a low-carb, high-fat lifestyle.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or xylitol
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, baking soda, and salt. Whisk until well blended.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together the butter and peanut butter until smooth and creamy.
  4. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly crumbly, but should hold together when pressed.
  6. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Press your thumb into the center of each ball to create a small indentation.
  7. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are just starting to turn golden brown around the edges.
  8. Remove from oven and immediately press a chocolate chip into the center of each cookie.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use a high-quality peanut butter with a smooth texture.
  • If the dough is too crumbly, add a little more butter or coconut oil.
  • Don’t over-bake the cookies, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • For a fun variation, try using different types of sugar-free chocolate chips, such as dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
