Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 12 balls
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and unsweetened cocoa powder. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Add the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the bowl. Mix until the dough is smooth and creamy.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for at least 10 minutes to allow it to firm up.
- Once the mixture has firmed up, use a small cookie scoop or your hands to form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should end up with around 12 balls.
- Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set.
- Store the Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
Tips
- Use room temperature ingredients for smoother mixing and better texture.
- Choose a natural peanut butter with no added sugars to keep the recipe truly keto-friendly.
- For extra firmness, you can freeze the balls instead of just refrigerating them.
- If the mixture is too soft, add a bit more cocoa powder or refrigerate longer before forming balls.
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform-sized balls and easier portioning.
- For added variety, roll the balls in crushed unsweetened coconut or chopped sugar-free chocolate chips before chilling.
- Make sure your coconut oil is fully melted but not hot when mixing to prevent separation.
