Are you going keto or low carb this year? Not gonna lie, Erik and I’ve been doing keto on and off for the last few years or so and it truly is something else. One thing that I’ve taken away from it? You stay full for so much longer when you’re eating more healthy fats!

I know, some of you are face-palming right now, like, “Duh, Demeter!!” But you know what? I’m a child of the 80s/90s and guess what? We were taught to be super duper scared of fat and eat tons of carbs (like 8-12 slices of bread a day) and also wear spandex cut way too high on the thigh when going to the gym. I mean, there were so many bad ideas during that period!

So, let’s skip the duh’s and just go, “Ah, I see! Now gimme all the keto energy balls!!!” That’s better.  Well, one thing I learned going keto was that you don’t have to be on the keto diet to strategically drop a couple keto energy balls and/or other keto snacks in your diet to stay satisfied for longer.

As such, I’m sharing my Peanut Butter Keto Energy Balls recipe with you—both for keto and non-keto folks alike.

4 easy steps with just 3 simple ingredients for keto peanut butter balls that are lightly sweet and totally satisfying.

How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Balls

First, line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. You can even use a plate if that’s what you have on hand!

Add Ingredients

Add all keto peanut butter balls ingredients to a medium bowl: peanut butter, coconut flour and keto maple syrup.

Using a fork, go ahead and stir it all together until well mixed. I like to finish this off by stirring and folding with a rubber spatula. 

Scoop and Enjoy!

Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop keto balls onto the prepared baking sheet (or plate!). Now, enjoy the easiest keto peanut butter balls ever!

  1. What peanut butter do you use? I have tried to make a keto peanut butter ball and I had used organic creamy smuckers all natural pb and the balls were grainy from the bp. Not real creamy so the textured was gross for a bp ball. Can u give any suggestions of what exact ingredients to use.

  6. I also didn’t have maple syrup, so I used Swerve (confectionary) instead of the syrup in the equivalent amount. I also added a small amount of water to compensate for the liquid. It seems to have come out well.

  8. Definitely going to try! My husband is a Peanut butter fudge ADDICT so this might be a good alternative for him. He doesn’t have to KNOW that it’s healthy, RIGHT??? .

      1. Hi!! I love PB and these sound delicious. I’m getting I the low carb track, but was wondering I I can use monkfruit instead for the sweetener ?

    1. Hi Christine, I know of readers who have tried subbing the coconut flour with almond flour with some success. Unfortunately, I haven’t tried it myself. It would have to be more since almond flour is much less absorbent than coconut flour. Adjust as needed to achieve the consistency you desire. Good luck!

      1. Thanks for getting back to me. Do you by chance know the ratio for coconut flour to almond flour?

  12. I was looking for a healthy whole-food treat for my family. We’re trying to move away from packaged snacks. And found THIS recipe. Yum! Thank you!

      1. Sooo easy, yummy, and satisfying! I started the keto diet in the new year, so I really appreciate the recipe for this super-tasty treat. Thank you, Demeter!!



  15. What flours can be substituted? I have a lot of oat flour and brown rice flour on hand. Will either of these work?

    Thanks!

  16. Yes, I definitely grew up in the “fat is bad” days. Definitely true that a tasty and healthy snack like this is much more satisfying than many alternatives. Yum!
