(Use code WHOLESOMEYUM for 10% off, just for Wholesome Yum readers!) Are No Bake Cookies Keto Friendly? Most conventional no bake cookies are not suitable for a keto diet, as they contain sugar (or sugary alternatives like maple syrup), oats or oatmeal, milk, or nut butter with added ingredients that bump up the carbs.
Melt unsalted butter (1/2 cup) and Low Carb peanut butter (1/2 cup) together in a pot over medium heat. Stir in cocoa powder (1/4 cup), erythritol (1/2 cup), and salt (a pinch). Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract (1 teaspoon), nuts (3/4 cup), and shredded + unsweetened coconut (1/2 cup).
These keto peanut butter cookies have a total of 4 carbs and 1 fiber (3net), which makes these the perfect keto treat for anytime of day. The number of carbs will be very dependent on what peanut butter you choose though, so shop wisely. The sugar free sweetener you use really depends on preference.
Even the ‘healthier’ no bake cookies have loads of honey, syrup and whole wheat oats, none of which are low carb ingredients. Which is why you wont find a recipe for low carb chocolate oatmeal no bake cookies. One of traditional no bake cookie will rack in about 19g of carbs, 18 of which are pure sugar.
