Satisfy your sweet tooth with these Keto No-Bake Cookies! Coconut and peanut butter make for the perfect combo in this low-carb, gluten-free treat!
Coconut and peanut butter might just be the newest, latest and greatest creation of all time. If you liked the coconut and chocolate combo in my Homemade Paleo Almond Joy Bars, you might really enjoy this quick and easy peanut butter no-bake combo. And if the Healthy No-Bake Cookies With Coconut Oil And Turmeric were WAY too exciting for you, these simple flavors are a subtle and wholesome option. They’re a nice, light, and crispy switch from my other low-carb no-bake cookies. Plus, one great thing these recipes have in common is you don’t have to heat up your kitchen to bake a sweet treat – which, of course, is great to help keep your kitchen cool in the summer!
Why you will LOVE This Recipe
One reason I love adding sweet keto-friendly recipes is that it doesn’t take a whole lot of convincing to get people to eat cookies. I’ve made Keto Chocolate Cake from scratch, as well as baked up a batch of Keto Cream Cheese Cookies. But what if I told you that you don’t have to fire up your oven at all? That’s right – these cookies are all that, because they are low-carb, sugar-free, AND are incredibly easy to make. No baking is required and they’re ready in a pinch – you and your keto crew may have just found your new favorite dessert in these no-bake cookies.
Are Keto No-Bake Cookies Healthy?
Peanut butter is a staple in my kitchen. Most all-natural peanut butter is keto-friendly, full of protein, and doesn’t include other additives like sugar. I love a creamy, natural peanut butter to spread on toast, bake into desserts, and even whisk into salad dressings! While I consider it healthy, I do eat it in moderation, because it is fairly high in calories. This recipe is completely sugar-free as well as keto, so it’s one sweet treat I don’t feel guilty reaching for! Even the coconut in this recipe is natural, with no added sugar. If you want to make a batch of cookies that fits a keto diet, be sure to buy a natural smooth peanut butter that includes only peanuts.
How to make them for Different Diets
Here are a few ways to mix up this recipe to make it suitable for different dietary needs and preferences:
Make it vegan: Use your favorite dairy-free or vegan butter instead of butter.
Make it paleo: Instead of using peanut butter in this cookie recipe, substitute some almond or cashew butter instead. Just make sure it doesn’t have any sugar added.
Make it nut-free: If someone in your family has a nut allergy, you can use sunflower seed butter instead of the peanut butter.
How to store Keto No-Bake Cookies
I recommend keeping these cookies in an airtight container and storing them in the fridge. They will last this way for a few weeks or even longer! If you want to make them REALLY crunchy and cold, you can store them in an airtight container in the freezer.
Serving Suggestions
These delicious morsels go with almost everything, in my book. But I’m here to tell you they are especially perfect on a cold day paired with a steamy, creamy cup of Vegan Hot Chocolate or on a hot day with a Frozen Mudslide Drink. If you’re hosting a gathering, make these cookies part of a dessert board, alongside Sugar-Free Keto Low-Carb Lemon Bars, and include these Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Pie Bars for a dessert table full of YUM.
