A few months ago I published these super easy keto peanut butter cookies and they were a hit in our household.

Alex, my boyfriend ate them all within a few days and even though he liked them a lot – he said that he missed something.
And that something is chocolate.

He solved that problem by dipping the „normal“ keto peanut butter cookies in melted sugar-free chocolate but I thought that there had to be a better way.

And now there is: these super-simple peanut butter and chocolate swirl cookies!

They’re not only super easy to make and combine two of the best things in the world (peanut butter and chocolate), they’re also a soo fun to make!

With only 2.5g net carbs per cookie, they’re also absolutely perfect for anyone on the ketogenic diet.
Go ahead and have some fun in the kitchen by making these delicious keto cookies!

    KETO PEANUT BUTTER & CHOCOLATE SWIRL COOKIES INGREDIENTS:

    This section is where I share a few explanations and suggestions regarding the ingredients needed for this recipe. 🙂

    (You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card at the end of this post!)
     

  • smooth sugar-free peanut butter:
    the only ingredients added should be peanuts, water and/ or salt.
    If there’s anything else, it could be sugar and we don’t want that!

    You will find a bit of sugar on the nutrition label even on peanut butter with no sugar added – but that’s the natural sugar from the peanuts.
    No way around that.
    But as soon as something else pops up, especially something you can’t pronounce, skip it.

    Fun fact: Did you know sugar has over 50 names?
    A neat trick manufracturers like to use is to replace the name “sugar” with one or more of the 50 other synonyms to mislead customers.

  • eggs: one whole egg
  • powdered erythritol:
    my absolute favorite keto-friendly sweetener!
    – it doesn’t spkie your blood sugar,
    – it’s completely safe and
    – has a very natural sweet taste that I personally really like.

    Because of its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation with a certain kind of yeast) I do consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.

    Of course, you can use other powdered keto-friendly sweeteners as well!
    Keep in mind though, that you may have to adjust the amount of the sweetener added.

    Erythtirol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners such as monk fruit or stevia are much sweeter than sugar.

  • sugar-free cacao powder:
    Make sure it has no added sugar!
    100% cacao powder will add a strong chocolate taste without adding a lot of carbs.

    How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?

    The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.

    
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
    If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).

    It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
    Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.
