Ingredients
– 1 cup (120g) almond flour
– 1/2 cup (60g) peanut butter
– 1/4 cup (50g) erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon (5g) baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon (2.5g) salt
– 1/2 cup (120ml) unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a large bowl, combine the almond flour, peanut butter, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
3. Add the egg and almond milk to the bowl and mix until a dough forms. The dough should be slightly sticky but not too wet. If it’s too dry, add a little more almond milk. If it’s too wet, add a little more almond flour.
4. Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.5. Press down on each ball with a fork to create a crisscross pattern.
6. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips
– For a chewier cookie, bake for 12-14 minutes.
– For a crispier cookie, bake for 10-12 minutes.
– If you don’t have erythritol, you can use another keto-friendly sweetener like monk fruit or stevia.
– If you don’t have unsweetened almond milk, you can use another type of unsweetened milk, like coconut milk or oat milk.
– These cookies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Variations
– Add 1/2 cup (60g) of sugar-free chocolate chips to the dough for chocolate chip peanut butter cookies.
– Add 1/4 cup (20g) of cocoa powder to the dough for chocolate peanut butter cookies.
– Add 1/2 cup (60g) of chopped peanuts to the dough for peanutty peanut butter cookies.
