Keto Peanut Butter Cookie/ Chocolate Peanut Butter Cookie/ Chocolate Swirl Peanut Butter Cookie
After baking keto friendly cookies with hazelnut and almond, I was thinking of other options. What about peanuts? Although it is not actually considered a nut…
Peanut butter cookies is even more straightforward if you have sugar free peanut butter in your pantry. The addition of an egg will help to bind the peanut butter together.
Actually even without the egg, my peanut butter can be rolled into a ball shape at room temperature or after chilling in the fridge. I did not add any extra peanut oil into my peanut butter when I was blending it so it’s just a thick paste.

Hi. Thats a lot of variety from similar ingredients.
Is Erythritol a byproduct of the Monk Fruit extract?
or rephrase: Lakanto/sweetener = erythritol + monk fruit extract?
thanks. Keep Ketoing!
Hi Seve,
I think Lakanto is a monk fruit-erythritol blend. From what I have read up on…The sweet tasting bit in monk fruit extract is mogroside. Monk fruit extract is a high intensity sweetener, about 200 times sweeter than sugar so it needs a lower intensity sweetener e.g. erythritol to bulk and add body to it. In the case of lakanto, it is manufactured to be similar in sweetness in sugar so 1 tablespoon of sugar can be substituted with 1 tablespoon of Lakanto.
However dried monk fruit used in chinese medicine does contain sugar (fructose and glucose).
