Fancy making peanut butter cookies low carb? You'll love this easy recipe for cookies with chocolate drops!
Cookies always go. Whether in summer, autumn or winter. Especially if they are made of peanut butter.
This recipe is my absolute favorite and will make it into the Christmas cookie jar, tea and hot chocolate this year.
As you can see, I've been hit hard. But no wonder. These cookies are really delicious.
If you want your peanut butter cookies to be low carb, simply omit the flour and table sugar.
There are so many other delicious ingredients that can make peanut cookies succeed and taste even better.
That's why peanut butter is so healthy!
Ground almonds* and hazelnuts provide plenty of flavor. Simply replace the white flour with Coconut flour*. This has the great advantage that it is low carb and tastes deliciously fruity like coconut.
However, you should know that you can not replace white flour 1:1 with Coconut flour* can be substituted. It has a completely different baking property.
The flour from coconuts absorbs a lot of liquid, which also explains why you need so much peanut butter and Flaxseed*-Water mixture needed.
But I'm omitting even more things from this recipe. To make the peanut butter cookies low carb and vegan, we omit egg and dairy. Why?
Well, there are lots of food intolerances. In order to not even have to think about which of my friends can eat which cookie, almost all of them are going vegan with me this year.
So there are no problems if someone has problems with egg or lactose. And I have also thought about all those who have a gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Both nuts and Flaxseed* and Coconut flour* are gluten-free.
Make your own peanut butter is very simple!
These peanut butter cookies are
- Low carb
- without flour and egg
- Lactose free
- vegan
- gluten free
- also suitable for baking beginners
- mega tasty
But the best thing is that the peanut butter cookies taste really delicious and are very easy to prepare.
And because it should never be boring at the baking tray, I have noted a few inspirations below the recipe, how you can refine or adapt the dough. So you have by small changes every time a different recipe on the plate.
And for this you do not need a blender, food processor or other tools. The hands are quite enough.
By the way, these cookies are the perfect post-workout snack. They provide you with lots of healthy fats and nutrients. The cookies contain a lot of protein, relatively few carbohydrates.
And the carbs they contain are very good for your body. They are in fact "healthy carbs", that is, those that saturate for a long time and provide a lot of energy.
Try this peanut butter and apple snack before your workout!

What keeps peanut butter cookies low carb and tastes even better
The spark has not quite jumped over yet? Something is missing in the recipe?
I have some great ideas here on how you can keep peanut butter cookies low carb and still add a few yummy ingredients.
How about instead of
- Xucker chocolate drops* with raisins
- ground hazelnuts with walnuts
- Peanut butter with almond paste
- Chia seeds* instead of Flaxseed*
- one part ground nuts with oatmeal
or additionally with Cinnamon* or peanut pieces?
All these ideas ensure that your peanut butter cookies remain low carb but still get a certain something off. I have already tried many variations and was always surprised.
The only failure was the combination of lemon zest and peanuts - how I came up with this idea, I can not explain to this day. :)

How to store the peanut cookies properly
So honestly: With me, these cookies never last long. But I understand of course if you want to prepare a larger quantity to have something longer.
If that's your plan, you should let the cookies cool completely.
Then put them in an airtight box. I like to use a cookie jar for this, but a tupperware box will also do the trick. Don't put the box in the sun, dark and cool will keep the cookies the longest.
In winter, I store the box outdoors. So the peanut butter cookies easily keep for a month. But it is also possible at room temperature. However, you will see that they are so delicious that they do not even last two weeks :)
My conclusion
To prepare peanut butter cookies low carb is quite simple. If you do without flour and sugar, you've already done everything right. Instead provide ground almonds* and hazelnuts for plenty of flavor and healthy nutrients.
So naschen but immediately much more fun :) Good luck and let it taste good!
