📖 Recipe
5-Ingredient (no-bake) Keto Peanut Butter Balls
Equipment
Ingredients
- ¾ cup coconut flour
- 2 cups smooth peanut butter
- ½ cup powdered sweetener of choice
- 2 cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- pinch of chilli optional
Instructions
- Line a plate, tray or cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- Add peanut butter, powdered sweetener, chilli and coconut flour to a medium-sized bowl. Use your hands or a spatula to mix. Feel free to add a bit of water, one tablespoon at a time, if too hard.
- Use a medium-sized cookie scoop to scoop, then use your hands to form medium-sized (approximately 1 inch) peanut butter balls. Set these balls on the previously prepared plate or tray. Make sure to space them out then store in the freezer for at least 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds. Using a spoon, fork or a skewer, dip your peanut butter balls in the melted chocolate. Make sure each ball is thoroughly coated. Transfer the chocolate-coated peanut butter balls to the already prepared tray or plate. You can decorate the balls the way you like, for example, by sprinkling sea salt on top.
- Transfer to the freezer and freeze for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened. Serve and enjoy!
