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

Line

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. 

Stir

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!

  • Medium Cookie Scoop or Small Cookie Scoop: I seriously love these cookie scoops! They’re so friggin’ useful in the kitchen, it’s not even funny–and they allow me to scoop up these keto energy bites super fast while still creating perfectly round shapes.
  • Low Carb Sweetener: A vital ingredient in these keto energy bites, this low carb sweetener is what actually makes this a keto recipe. It’s also sugar-free!

Ingredients 

Instructions 

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add peanut butter, coconut flour, and keto maple syrup.
  • Using a fork, stir until well mixed. Then, use a silicone spatula to fold until well incorporated and thickened.
  • Using a small or medium cookie scoop, scoop and drop peanut butter balls onto the prepared baking sheet, spaced evenly apart. Here are the small and medium cookie scoops I use. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

Storing Notes: Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks. On Day 1, bites will be soft and moist. On Day 2 and forward, bites will become firmer and less moist.
Freezing Instructions: Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Firm, but soft enough to eat straight out of the freezer.

    Can almond flour be substituted for the coconut flour? If so how much?

    Thanks

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Christine, I know of readers who have tried subbing the coconut flour with almond flour with some success. Unfortunately, I havenโ€™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. Christine says:

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

  5. Tami says:

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

    Thanks!

    1. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

      Hi Tami! I havenโ€™t tried it with oat flour, but other readers have with good results (though it would make it not keto). Let me know how it goes!

      1. Kristen says:

        Could I use a different sweetener? Like erythritol or liquid stevia or do I need something sticky?

      2. Demeter | Beaming Baker says:

        Hi Kristen, try the liquid stevia. You might need to adjust it to taste. Enjoy!
