Keto-Approved Ingredients
- Peanut Butter: Smooth or crunchy peanut butter can be used to make keto nut butter balls. Avoid using “natural-style” peanut butter that needs to be stirred, as it won’t set up the way regular peanut butter does.
- Flour: Coconut flour is low-carb and gluten-free. We recommend using only coconut flour in this recipe since its high absorbency helps the balls maintain their shape.
- Sweetener: Use any powdered sugar-free substitute and be sure to read any conversion rates on the packaging.
Nutty Twists
- Other low-carb nut butters to try are almond, walnut, cashew, or hazelnut butter.
- Stir or roll in extras like chia seeds, flax seeds, sunflower seeds, coconut, or crushed nuts.
- Keto brown sugar, Lakanto (monk fruit syrup), or a keto-friendly maple syrup are great alternative sugar-free choices.
- As a dessert, dip the chilled peanut butter balls into melted sugar-free chocolate chips mixed with coconut oil and sprinkle with salt if desired. Chill again until set.
How To Make Keto Peanut Butter Balls
- Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and shape into 1” balls (full recipe below).
- Chill peanut butter balls on a baking sheet for 30 minutes.
Speedy Sweet Success
- Use more coconut flour if the dough is too sticky.
- If adding extras, be sure they’re chopped or grated fine enough so the balls don’t fall apart.
Nutty Storage Know-How
- Keep keto peanut butter balls in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Wrap peanut butter balls in squares of parchment paper and transfer them to a zippered bag, and store them in the freezer for up to 6 months. Pop one or two in a backpack or briefcase for a mid-morning energy boost!
