These Keto No Bake Cookies are super easy to make, perfect for a low-carb treat, and need just 6 wholesome ingredients. Made with plenty of peanut butter, these gluten-free cookies require no baking or special skills.
I love these cookies because they are easy to whip up and satisfy my sweet tooth instantly while being super nutritious. Their texture is fudgy, chewy, but also crunchy due to the unsweetened coconut flakes I love to add.
There are two versions of these keto no-bake cookies: classic peanut butter and chocolate peanut butter cookies. If you love peanut butter, then you’ll enjoy both. Otherwise, I suggest making the chocolate version because the cocoa powder covers the peanut butter taste.
I am pretty sure you had the classic oatmeal no-bake cookies while growing up.

Ingredients for Keto No Bake Cookies with Peanut Butter
To make these cookies, you’ll need to gather a few ingredients. A few notes on the ingredients:
- creamy peanut butter – Alternatively, you can use almond butter or cashew butter for a more subtle taste.
- vanilla extract
- cocoa powder
- coconut flakes – If you prefer a smoother texture, replace the coconut flakes with almond flour.
- 2 tbsp butter
- powdered erythritol – It’s important to use powdered sweetener. It will easily combine with the peanut butter. If you don’t have a powdered sweetener, use a dry small powerful blender, spice grinder, or Nutribulet to turn your sweetener into a fine powder.
- Unsweetened chocolate chips (optional)
How to Make No Bake Low Carb Cookies
So, how easy it is to make these no-bake cookies with peanut butter? It’s easier than you think as they need less than 10 minutes of prep.
- First, combine all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. If you want classic no-bake cookies, omit the cocoa powder.
- Then, scoop the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use the back of a spoon to shape the cookies. I made around 30 cookies – so a lot of cookies to enjoy during the week!
- Freeze for about 20-30 minutes and enjoy!
You can store the leftover no bake cookies into the freezer for up to 6 months in a sealed bag.
