Homemade Low-Carb Peanut Butter Keto Biscuits
There’s something undeniably comforting about a warm, nutty biscuit fresh from the oven—especially when it fits perfectly into your keto lifestyle. These low-carb peanut butter keto biscuits are rich, slightly sweet, and incredibly satisfying. I’ve made these countless times as a quick breakfast bite or afternoon treat with coffee. With just a handful of pantry ingredients, you can whip them up in under 30 minutes. Whether you’re following a ketogenic diet or simply cutting back on carbs, these biscuits are a must-try!
These keto-approved biscuits are tender on the inside, a bit crunchy on the outside, and filled with rich peanut butter taste. They’re completely grain-free, gluten-free, and sweetened with a low-glycemic sweetener, making them ideal for anyone watching their sugar intake. What I love most is how versatile they are—enjoy them plain, drizzle with melted dark chocolate, or sandwich them with a keto cream filling.
🛒 Ingredient List
Everything you need is simple and easy to find at most grocery stores or online.
-
1 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened and unsalted)
-
2 large eggs
-
1/2 cup almond flour
-
1/4 cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
-
1 tsp baking powder
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
Pinch of sea salt
Optional:
-
1 tbsp coconut oil (for extra softness)
-
A few sugar-free chocolate chips for topping
🔪 Instructions
1. Preheat the oven
Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Mix the wet ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine peanut butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and coconut oil (if using). Stir until smooth and well blended.
3. Add dry ingredients
Incorporate almond flour, erythritol, baking powder, and a dash of sea salt. Mix until a thick dough forms. It should be slightly sticky but moldable.
4. Shape the biscuits
Use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to gather dough. 4. Shape into balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Gently press each down with a fork to flatten slightly and create that classic criss-cross pattern.
5. Bake
Cook for 12–15 minutes until the borders are golden. The center may seem soft, but it will firm up as it cools.
6. Cool & store
Allow the biscuits to cool on the tray for 10 minutes before moving them to a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
