Keto Peanut Butter and Coconut Balls
These deliciously sweet Keto snack balls make a great low carb treat to have on hand - ready to grab and go! Our Keto snack balls are prepared with ground almonds, desiccated coconut, unsweetened cocoa powder, low carb sweetener and crunchy peanut butter. These are a quick and easy low carb treat the whole family can enjoy and will help keep away any cravings for sweets.
What Kind of Peanut Butter Can I Use?
We have used crunchy peanut butter for this sweet Keto snack recipe to provide added texture and bite. When selecting a Keto-friendly peanut butter, look for a natural option that is free from added sugars. If preferred, you may use smooth peanut butter in place of crunchy for a smoother texture.
Can I Use a Different Nut Butter?
If you would prefer to not use peanut butter, then you may substitute with an alternative low carb friendly nut butter. Almond butter would make a great substitution. The key is to find a firm nut butter that is strong enough to bind and hold the other ingredients. Avoid using nut butters that are overly soft and runny as the mixture may not be firm enough to shape and roll. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the original recipe.
Can I Use a Different Sweetener?
We have used a little erythritol to sweeten our Keto-friendly snack recipe. You may swap this for your preferred low carb sweetener, adjusting the quantities according to taste.
