No-Bake Keto Peanut Butter Balls 🥜🍫
Ingredients:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (sugar-free or natural, no added sugar)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (adjust if needed for texture)
  • 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (or any keto-friendly sweetener)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or ChocZero)
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil (for melting chocolate)
  • Pinch of salt (if your peanut butter is unsalted)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:

  • In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract (optional), and salt (if using). Stir until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
  • If the mixture is too sticky, add a little more coconut flour, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you can roll it into balls.

2. Shape the Balls:

  • Roll the peanut butter mixture into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper.

3. Chill:

  • Place the peanut butter balls in the freezer for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.

4. Melt the Chocolate:

  • While the peanut butter balls are chilling, melt the sugar-free chocolate chips with the coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

5. Coat the Peanut Butter Balls:

  • Remove the peanut butter balls from the freezer. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Place them back on the parchment paper.

6. Set the Coating:

  • Once all the peanut butter balls are coated, place them back in the refrigerator or freezer for about 10-15 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

7. Enjoy!:

  • Once the chocolate is hardened, the peanut butter balls are ready to eat! Store any leftovers in the fridge to keep them firm.
