Another super simple, quick, and easy keto treat coming in hot! My kids are obsessed with peanut butter and they have been begging me to make some peanut butter cookies for the last week. They were pleasantly surprised to sit down to a couple fresh baked cookies and a glass of milk for their afternoon snack today.
The keto version is equally delicious and tastes even better with a hot cup of coffee to dunk it into! I use monkfruit sweetener in all of my recipes, especially baked goods, as it doesn’t leave that cooling effect like most sugar substitutes. When looking for natural peanut butter, be sure to read the ingredients list and make sure it’s just peanuts. Added salt is okay, but if you’re doing strict keto, make sure it’s just peanuts with or without salt. Happy baking!
