Keto Peanut Butter, Coconut and Lime Cookies
These sweet and chewy Keto cookies make a delicious daytime snack or low carb dessert option. Our quick and easy Keto cookies are prepared with smooth peanut butter, low carb sweetener, desiccated coconut, egg, and a little lime zest. Once the dough is prepared, the cookies are oven-baked until golden, then left to set and firm. These are a great option for the whole family to enjoy.
What Kind of Peanut Butter Should I Use?
We have used plain, smooth peanut butter for this recipe. When selecting peanut butter on a Keto diet, opt for versions that are simply prepared with minimal ingredients and do not contain added sugars. You can, of course, also make your own peanut butter from scratch to use in the recipe.
Can I Use a Different Nut Butter?
Peanuts are technically classed as legumes and, as such, carry a higher carb count than other nuts. If you need to avoid peanuts in your diet or would prefer to opt for a lower carb alternative, you can simply swap the peanut butter for smooth almond butter. You can swap the nut butter like for like, using exactly the same quantities. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.

25 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper. Add the peanut butter, erythritol, desiccated coconut, lime zest, and salt to a mixing bowl. Mix well to combine.Step 2
Crack the egg into the bowl. Beat the egg into the peanut butter mixture. The mixture will start to firm and form a dough.Step 3
Divide the dough into 10 even-sized portions - roughly a tablespoon each. Roll each portion into a ball. Arrange the dough balls across the lined oven tray. Push each ball down with your palm, flattening into a cookie shape roughly 1/2 an inch thick. Ensure there is a space of at least 1.5 inches between each cookie as they will spread when baking.Step 4
Transfer the cookies to the oven to bake for 12-15 minutes. The cookies should be lightly golden all over. Set aside to cool completely. The cookies will firm up once cooled. Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.
