Keto Almond Flour Cookies (With Peanut Butter)
Description
The Keto Almond Flour Cookies (With Peanut Butter) use almond flour as the base ingredient, combined with smooth, oily peanut butter, egg, sweetener, baking powder, and vanilla. The dough forms easily with just a fork. Each cookie is pressed flattened with a crisscross fork pattern and topped lightly with sea salt for contrast. Baking at 180°C for around 9 minutes yields cookies that are slightly firm on the outside but soft inside, providing a satisfying texture. Adjust baking time for softer or crisper results depending on preference.
The mix of peanut butter and almond flour creates a rich nutty taste balanced by the vanilla and a hint of saltiness atop. These cookies work well as a keto dessert or snack, especially for those avoiding grains.
For best results, use soft, oily peanut butter. Hard or dry peanut butter affects the dough's texture. The recipe yields 16 cookies about 5 cm wide, each with low net carbs, suitable for low-carb diets.
Careful measurement of almond flour can affect moisture content; super-fine almond flour may require a slight reduction. Baking time influences softness — reduce for a tender center or extend for crunchy edges.
Ingredients
- 1 cup / 100g almond flour or ground almonds ***
- ½ cup / 130g peanut butter smooth, MUST be soft and runny
- 1 egg large
- ¼ cup / 50g granulated sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- sea salt for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 Celsius / 350 Fahrenheit.
- Put all ingredients in a bowl and stir together with a fork until a dough forms.
- Form a large ball and cut into 8 slices.
- Make 2 dough balls from each slice (20 grams each) and put on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Flatten each cookie dough ball into 1 cm thick / 5 cm diameter disks using a fork, making a criss cross pattern. Sprinkle with sea salt.
- Bake for 8-10 minutes (I baked for 9). Remove from the oven and let cool completely before touching.
Notes
- Use soft, runny peanut butter high in oils for proper dough consistency.
- For softer cookies, bake 8-10 minutes; for crisper texture, bake up to 12 minutes.
- When using very fine almond flour, reduce quantity slightly to prevent excess moisture absorption.
- Each cookie is approximately 20 grams with 1.4g net carbs.
