No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe – Easy Low Carb, Keto, Gluten Free Cookies without oatmeal – with the full video tutorial.
No Bake Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookies Recipe
This no bake chocolate peanut butter cookies recipe is really quick and easy to prepare. You simply combine all of the ingredients together, form into cookies and allow to set in the fridge.
I make fairly large sized cookies and get 12 out of my cookie dough. If you’d prefer smaller, bite sized cookies then you will get more cookies from the recipe.
No Bake Cookie Ingredients
Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need for these cookies.
Flaked Almonds – any chopped nuts will work here, I like the streamlined texture of flaked almonds, so that’s what I’ve used.
Shredded Coconut – you can use shredded or desiccated coconut to help bulk out and flavor the cookies.
Peanut Butter – I’ve used smooth peanut butter, but you can use crunchy peanut butter instead for a more nutty texture.
Stevia – my sweetener of choice is usually stevia. (Here’s stevia on Amazon.) You can use whatever sweetener you like instead. Or, if you don’t want them to be low carb/sugar free then you can feel free to use any sugar you have in your kitchen.
Use a third to half a cup of your sweetener of choice, depending how sweet you’d like your cookies to be.
Butter – I’ve used unsalted butter in this recipe. You can make the cookies dairy free, paleo and vegan friendly by swapping the butter for a quarter of a cup of coconut oil instead.
Chocolate – I used cacao powder that I found at ALDI, but you could use cocoa powder instead for the chocolate flavor.

Boiling too long will cause the cookies to be dry and crumbly. However, if you don't boil long enough the cookies will not set and will be runny. Some folks say bring the mixture to a rolling boil and then count to 60, while others swear by counting to 90.
Peanut butter is moderately low in carbs and contains both fiber and healthy fat. Its composition makes peanut butter a balanced food that can be added to keto diets, depending on how it's made. This chart reviews some different types of peanut butter and their carb content in a 2-tablespoon (32–37 gram) serving.
Sticking to natural, unsweetened peanut butter is a great option, especially if you're on a very low carb diet. It contains fewer carbs than sweetened varieties, but still has lots of protein and healthy fats.
A: Chances are if the no-bakes turned out dry and crumbly it was because you overcooked them. While we call them cookies, oatmeal no-bakes are really more of a confection or fudge with oats stirred in. When it comes to candy, the longer it is cooked, the drier and harder it becomes.
Cookies become hard when the moisture in them evaporates. This can be caused by leaving them out in the air for too long, baking them for too long, or storing them improperly. The lack of moisture makes the cookies hard and dry, which makes them difficult to enjoy.
The bottom line. You should avoid cheat meals and days on the keto diet. Consuming too many carbs can kick your body out of ketosis — and it takes several days to 1 week to get back into it. In the meantime, your weight loss may be disrupted.
Net carbs are calculated by taking the total grams of carbohydrate in a food and subtracting the amount of fiber. In this case, popcorn contains 6 grams of carbs per 1 cup serving and 1.2 grams of fiber, bringing the net carbs per serving to 4.8 grams. Yes friends, popcorn is indeed a keto food.
Bananas. Bananas may be great for muscle recovery, reducing bloat, and calming an upset stomach, but they're on the list of foods you can't eat on the keto diet. With 25g of carbs per 100g serving, bananas are too high in carbs.
As you can see, both peanuts and peanut butter pack a lot of energy into just one cup. All three macronutrients—proteins, fats, and carbs—are present in abundance, which isn't ideal for keto.
While cottage cheese is known for its high protein content, it also contains a relatively high amount of carbs and not that much fat, making it a less-than-ideal choice for keto. A ½-cup serving of cottage cheese contains 88 calories, 2.4 g of fat, 4.5 g of carbs, and 11.6 g of protein, per the USDA.
Packaged sweets like cookies also can have a high carbohydrate count. Eating these types of food in moderation can help you stay on track with your goals. You can also explore low-carb alternatives like swapping out wheat flour for almond flour and using stevia instead of sugar.
