Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
These Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are great for a quick sweet treat after a meal or a small high-fat snack you can eat in a hurry. Some may also call these “Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs“.
The inside is a soft and chewy peanut butter filling, which is then coated in sugar free chocolate and rolled in chopped peanuts.
These Keto Peanut Butter Balls only require a few ingredients, and just a few steps making them an easy no bake keto dessert that even your kids can help you make!
These no bake keto fat bombs are similar to my original No Bake Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Bars Recipe but these are even simpler to make so I thought my lazy keto-ers would like this one. (I know I enjoyed not having to make a giant mess in the kitchen, haha).
Ingredients In Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
- Almond Flour – I use the Kirkland Costco brand of almond flour (I buy it in bulk on Amazon or at Costco itself occasionally) for this recipe. As I’ve noted in many of my past recipes, the brand of almond flour can affect the final outcome of the recipe because absorbency can vary depending on how the flour has been processed.
- Sugar Free Syrup – I use either the E.D Smith Syrup in Canada OR Choc Zero syrup.
- Xanthan gum This is used to create a batter more similar to that of white flour. It helps give the peanut butter filling a chewier texture.
- Powdered Monkfruit Erythritol Sweetener – I use the SoNourished brand for both granular and powdered sweetener and love it! The powdered is the best option for no-bake goods and desserts where you want a very smooth final product. I used the powdered in this recipe as sometimes the granular can remain a tad “crunchy” in slightly undercooked/fudgier cake recipes such as this one.
- I use Krisda chocolate-chips in this recipe as they are just 2 NET carbs per tbsp.. but you can also use dark chocolate or lily’s chocolate-chips.
Tips For Making No Bake Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls
- If you find your mixture too dry to roll, simply add a little more sugar free syrup or a tiny bit of water to help it stick.
- For the coating, feel free to use dark chocolate or other sugar free chocolate chips.
