Ingredients

1/2 cup unsweetened creamy peanut butter (128g)

1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (56g)

1 large egg

1/2 tsp vanilla extract (2.5ml)

1/4 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener (48g)

2 Tbsp coconut flour (14g)

1/4 tsp baking soda (1.5g)

1/4 tsp salt (1.5g)

2 1/2 Tbsp granulated sugar-free sweetener (30g)

5 Tbsp sugar-free chocolate chips, melted (70g)

Instructions

Step 1: Make the chocolate “kisses” by melting the chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-30 second intervals until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate into a mold, tap lightly to remove air bubbles, then use a toothpick to pop any bubbles forming at the surface. Refrigerate until hardened, then remove from the mold.

Step 2: In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and softened butter. Stir or beat until smooth and well combined. Add the egg and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

Step 3: Stir in the powdered sweetener until dissolved. Add the coconut flour, baking soda, and salt, mixing until combined and the dough begins to thicken.

Step 4: Place the dough in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours to firm up.

Step 5: Preheat your oven to 350 °F (175 °C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 6: Pour the granulated sweetener into a small bowl. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll into smooth 1-inch balls.

Step 7: Roll each dough ball in the granulated sweetener, then place them spaced apart on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8: Bake the cookies for 6-8 minutes until just set.

Step 9: Remove the cookies from the oven and immediately press one chocolate “kiss” into the center of each cookie. Allow to cool completely.

Step 10: Enjoy your keto-friendly peanut butter blossoms!

FAQs

Can I use regular peanut butter instead of unsweetened?

Yes, you can use regular peanut butter, but make sure it doesn’t contain added sugar to keep the cookies keto-friendly.

How do I make the chocolate kisses without a mold?

If you don’t have a mold, you can spoon small mounds of melted chocolate onto parchment paper and refrigerate until firm. Press the chocolate onto the cookies immediately after baking.
