Try these delicious Keto Peanut Butter Cookies with a sugar-free dulce de leche caramel drizzle—a simple 6-ingredient recipe for a guilt-free treat.

Keto Peanut Butter Cookies Never Tasted SO GOOD!

It’s true; I made Keto Peanut Butter Cookies with a sugar-free dulce de leche caramel with only 6 ingredients.

I’ve been making keto peanut butter cookies for years now because they are the easiest sugar-free cookies to make.

Add ingredients to mix things up after getting bored with the keto peanut butter cookies.

In the past, I’ve added sugar-free Krisda Chocolate Chips, Lily’s chocolate chips, cacao nibs, and shredded coconut.

On the odd occasion, I might toss in some chopped walnuts or pecans for some added crunch or dark cocoa powder for flavor.

However, since I was experimenting with making sugar-free caramel sauce this time, I drizzled it over the keto peanut butter cookies.

I have a few tips for making the best sugar-free caramel sauce and simple keto peanut butter cookies.

Well, they may not be super secret but I found it worked best for this popular peanut butter cookies keto recipe at our house.

How To Make All-Natural Peanut Butter

You can use all-natural peanut butter such as Kraft or other brands for these keto peanut butter cookies.

I have used many varieties of no-sugar-added peanut butter; however, I chose to make homemade keto peanut butter this time.

Why? Because it’s easy, and I’m already using the food processor, why not?

What ingredients are in all-natural peanut butter? 

Just peanuts. Ha! Easy right?

Our favorite peanuts are the Costco Kirkland brand because they are roasted and full-flavored.

How To Make Homemade Peanut Butter For Less

Add one cup of peanuts to a food processor and whiz it up until you have a peanut butter-looking deliciousness.

Blending the peanuts and ta-da will only take a minute or so. All-natural peanut butter, and you made it.

Adding 1 tbsp of avocado oil will make it creamy to spread on toast, keto bagels, keto crispbread, or keto bread.

Some people add melted coconut oil or butter to their all-natural peanut butter to make it spreadable.

Add the oil, pinch of salt, and sweetener of choice for a more traditional peanut butter taste. It’s still keto this way.

We like to use allulose, monk fruit, or erythritol the most in our baking, depending on which one we have stocked in our keto pantry.

Simple Sugar-Free Dulce De Leche Caramel Sauce

The ingredients to make a sugar-free caramel sauce that I chose are full-fat coconut milk, Sukrin Gold brown sugar, and salt.

You must use full-fat coconut milk to make this sweet, sugar-free caramel sauce.

You can substitute if you don’t have Sukrin Gold but have a white sweetener such as Allulose, Monk fruit, or Erythritol.

The only difference will be the color and the deep brown sugar taste of this dulce de leche caramel sauce.

I chose coconut milk because our friend uses it to make coconut whipped cream.

That’s when I started experimenting with it to see if I could make a caramel sauce or sugar-free condensed milk.

I feel that this could be called sugar-free condensed milk turned into caramel.

No matter what I call it, I can verify that it tastes darn good, especially on top of my keto peanut butter cookies.

Tips For Making Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

The most important tip is to leave the cookies on the baking sheet to cool completely to allow them to firm up.

If you move the cookies around hot, they will break on you.

Lastly, I always use powdered sweetener when I bake, as that eliminates any of the granular bits and texture.

Purchasing a coffee grinder for this purpose is top-notch, as it will come in handy for many things, even spices.

You’ll also find it cheaper to buy granular keto sugars and process them to a powder yourself.

How To Store Keto Peanut Butter Cookies

Once the cookies are cooled, store them in an air-tight container in the freezer if you don’t plan to serve them immediately.

Mrs. CBB and I always find keto dessert tastes better the next day.

We’ve also noticed the taste is better when freezing keto desserts before eating them.

Call us crazy or weird, but that’s how we do it. You don’t have to; you are welcome to eat these keto peanut butter cookies any way you like.

The cookies are OK in the freezer for up to three months, so you can make them ahead for Christmas or other holidays.

Try these delicious Keto Peanut Butter Cookies with a sugar-free dulce de leche caramel drizzle—a simple 6-ingredient recipe for a guilt-free treat.

Ingredients

• Peanut Butter Cookies
• 1 cup all-natural peanut butter
• 1 large egg
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 cup powdered allulose, monk fruit, or erythritol sweetener (use a coffee grinder to powder.
• Caramel Sauce

• 1/2 cup Sukrin Gold Brown Sugar Sugar-free
• 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees
2. Add all-natural peanut butter, egg, sweetener, and salt to a food processor. *you can add 1tsp pure vanilla extract if you’d like) Use a bowl and spatula if there is no food processor or stand mixer.
3. Blend it for a minute until the cookie dough is combined.
4. With a mini cookie scoop, place the cookie dough on a parchment-lined baking sheet or Silpat-lined
5. Press the fork into the cookie-deep cross-hatch marks to get the fork lines.
6. Bake for 8 minutes, just until golden. Do not overbake any cookie ever. Trust me.
7. Leave them cooling on the cookie sheet when they come from the oven.
8. Once cooled, drizzle with sugar-free caramel sauce, and then place the cookies into the freezer to harden.
9. Caramel Sauce
10. In a saucepan on medium-high heat, add 1 shaken can of quality coconut milk, Sukrin gold-brown sugar, and salt.
11. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, then lower and keep stirring until it’s a golden brown caramel consistency. If you want a buttery caramel, add 1 tbsp of butter or keep it vegan and eliminate the butter. Both ways are delicious. This should take about 15-20 minutes.
12. Let caramel cool for 5 minutes before drizzling on the peanut butter cookies.
13. Store the caramel in a glass jar and refrigerate or freeze.
14. Once the cookies are cooled, store them in an air-tight container in the freezer if you don’t plan to serve them immediately.

Treat Yourself To Something Sweet

I like a simple cookie recipe, which I’m giving you today, and jazzing it up just a little with the caramel sauce.

You’re welcome to skip the caramel and enjoy the keto peanut butter cookies as they are.

Dunking these cookies in coffee, cold macadamia nut, or oat milk, sometimes a big cold glass of 2% milk (not keto) is the perfect treat.

Whatever you do with your cookies, as long as you eat and enjoy them, that’s all that matters.
