I love an easy recipe that doesn't require turning on the oven.

Of course, everyone loves a freshly baked batch of cookies. But the downside is that you have to watch them carefully. They can go from underdone to burnt quickly.

I’m sure many of us have walked away for just a second, only to come back and find our batch ruined.

But the great thing about these keto peanut butter no-bake cookies, you don’t have to worry about any of that! You simply mix up the batter and then let them set in the freezer.

They honestly couldn’t be easier!

Why I Love This Recipe

Instead of babysitting the oven, you can get on with your day when you make this easy low carb cookie recipe. Once you return to your kitchen, your tasty cookies will be ready for you.

Because the batter of the cookie is made from peanut butter, they set in the freezer instead of the refrigerator. The result is a chilled, satisfying, crunchy cookie with a dreamy texture.

Recipe Ingredients

This sweet and crunchy dessert comes together with just a handful of healthy ingredients!

Peanut Butter

Any unsweetened natural peanut butter works in the recipe. I like to use a creamy peanut butter but a crunchy peanut butter will work too if you like an extra crunchy texture.

If you want to change things up, you can use almond butter or sunflower seed butter instead.

Seeds

Any seeds suitable for a keto diet can be used. My favorites are pumpkin and sunflower seeds. Hemp seeds are a great option too.

Coconut Oil

The coconut oil is used to get a firmer cookie when chilled. Unsalted butter can be used as an alternative if you don't care for the slight coconut flavor.

Chocolate Chips

Any low carb keto baking chips can be used. I prefer breaking up Good Chocolate bars, as they come in all different flavors like milk chocolate, and dark chocolate.

Sweetener

A powdered sweetener blends in best for no bake peanut butter cookies. If you only have granular sweetener on hand, you can try blending it in a coffee grinder or smoothie blender into a finer powder.

Vanilla Extract

Adding in vanilla extract gives the cookies a touch of sweetness without the need to add additional sweetener.

Recipe Instructions

The active prep time for these delicious peanut butter cookies is just ten minutes. So you don't need much time all to get them made.

• Add the peanut butter, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and melted coconut oil to a large mixing bowl.
• Add in the chocolate chips, low carb sweetener, and vanilla extract.
• Stir until completely combined.
• Scoop a tablespoon of the batter at a time and drop onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You should end up with 8 cookies.

• Place the cookies into the freezer for 2 hours or until completely set.

Once you come back, your no bake keto cookies will be ready! 

I recommend storing these in the freezer rather than the refrigerator. Because the batter is mostly peanut butter, they harden best when frozen.

If you'd rather have a baked cookie that can withstand heat better, try my 5-ingredient keto peanut butter chocolate chip cookies instead.

The ️Serving Size

The recipe is for 8 total cookies. So you may want to make a double batch if you’re making them to share.

Each one is quite filling thanks to the nut butter, seeds, and coconut oil. The crunch of the seeds also gives them a texture that is very satisfying.

I find that one cookie is perfect for my sweet tooth. Because they harden when frozen, it’s easy to really savor them.

If you divide the batter into 8 cookies, each one will have 3 grams net carbs.

Nuts and seeds are a good source of fiber. This means that your cookies will be filling and satisfying without being high in carbs.

Recipe's Quick Tips

• Because the batter is mostly peanut butter, the cookies need to be frozen. They will also soften quickly at room temperature.
• If you want a cookie that doesn’t soften as fast, melt the chocolate chips before stirring them into the batter. The combination of chocolate and peanut butter will retain its form at a higher temperature.
• Add in some unsweetened coconut flakes or chopped nuts in place of the seeds.
• Make keto no bake chocolate peanut butter cookies by stirring in a couple tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder.
