Ingredients
To make these delicious keto peanut butter cookies with almond flour, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup creamy no sugar added peanut butter: Make sure it’s soft and runny.
- 1 cup brown sugar substitute: Lakanto Brown Monkfruit Sweetener is a great option.
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup finely ground almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- Sea salt: For sprinkling on top.
Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Almond Flour Step-By-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar substitute, egg, and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture with an electric mixer until well combined. Then, add the almond flour and baking soda and mix well to form the dough.
Step 3: Scoop the Dough
Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out 18 balls of dough onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 4: Flatten the Cookies
Use a fork to make a crisscross pattern on each ball of dough. This helps flatten the cookies so they bake evenly.
Step 5: Bake
Bake the cookies for 8-9 minutes or until the edges are set. Do not overbake, as the cookies will continue to firm up as they cool.
Step 6: Cool
Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes before moving them to a cooling rack.

Reviews
These cookies have received rave reviews from those who have tried them. Here are some of the highlights:
Debra’s Review
“Wow! I saw these today on your blog, printed out the recipe, and went and made them. Typically, keto peanut butter cookies are dry and lack flavor. However, these cookies are fantastic and taste very similar to regular peanut butter cookies. I used Lakanto Brown, my go-to sweetener, and they turned out wonderfully. They have a crosshatch pattern on top and need to cool for 10 minutes, but even before cooling, they are soft and delicious. What a great recipe!”
Allison’s Review
“Omg amazing. I used powdered monk fruit. My fav new recipe!! Thank you.”
Lez’s Review
“I make these weekly now as a daily treat. I made a batch and took it to work, they lasted about 3 seconds and everyone rated them 10/10. I pushed 3 dark chocolate drops on top of each one. I wasn’t sure about the sprinkle of salt but followed your recipe to the letter. Genius, I love them, thank you for sharing this recipe.”
Community Tips and Praise
Here are some additional tips and variations from the community:
- Stir the peanut butter well before use: It’s important that it is soft and runny. If your peanut butter is firm, add 1 tablespoon of melted coconut oil or butter to soften the dough.
- Don’t touch the cookies until they are fully cooled: All keto almond flour cookies are super soft and fragile when hot. They firm up as they cool.
- Try different variations: Add sugar-free chocolate chips, spices like cinnamon or pumpkin spice, or unsweetened cocoa powder for different flavors. Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Almond Flour
