These keto peanut butter balls are easy to make, use just a few ingredients and are perfect for holiday parties! They’re also vegan.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/4 cups (320 grams) natural salted peanut butter
  • 6 tablespoons (72 grams) THM Gentle Sweet or the copycat listed below
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup (32 grams) coconut flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (225 grams) keto chocolate chips or chopped keto chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon (14 grams) coconut oil or unsalted butter for non-vegan

Instructions

  • In a medium mixing bowl, stir together the peanut butter, low-carb sweetener, vanilla and salt until combined.
    1 1/4 cups (320 grams) natural salted peanut butter, 6 tablespoons (72 grams) THM Gentle Sweet, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Stir in the coconut flour. My dough was firm enough to roll into balls. If yours isn't, freeze for about 30 minutes. The balls won't be totally firm when you form them but that's okay. They don't need to be totally perfect.
    1/4 cup (32 grams) coconut flour
  • Prepare the coating. Mix together chopped chocolate and coconut oil in a small bowl or pot that can be used to melt the chocolate and dip the balls in.
    1 1/2 cups (225 grams) keto chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon (14 grams) coconut oil
  • Shape into about 28 20-gram balls and place on a tray small enough to fit in your freezer.
  • Place them in the freezer to let them firm up more (since rolling with warm hands heats them up quickly).
  • Dip the balls one at a time into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off.
  • Place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Refrigerate for up to a week or freeze for a few months. Can also be kept at room temperature for a few days (if it's not too warm).

Notes

  • Natural peanut butter meaning just peanuts + salt - no added fat or sugar.
  • If you want to make a big batch of the THM Gentle Sweet copycat, see the post for the amounts. If you want to make enough for just this recipe, then you need:
    • 41 grams xylitol
    • 31 grams erythritol
    • 3/16 teaspoon powdered stevia (3/16 teaspoon = .1875 and you actually only need .1814 teaspoon so this is just approximate.
  • Add more salt to taste if your peanut butter is unsalted.
  • You may need to add a tiny bit more coconut flour. Brands tend to vary a lot.
  • Use refined coconut oil for no coconut taste.
