4 Ingredient Keto Peanut Butter Balls
These creamy peanut butter balls are low carb, low sugar and keto-friendly. They are just 4 ingredients and easy to make.
Ingredients
- 6 tbsp (78g) plain nonfat Greek yogurt, see note if you want to use whole milk Greek yogurt
- 1/2 cup (128g) unsweetened natural peanut butter (no added oils)
- 1.5 tbsp (22ml) sugar free maple flavored syrup
- 2 cups (340g) sugar free dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, stir together the Greek yogurt, peanut butter, and syrup until smooth and fully combined. The mixture should be like a thick paste.
- Use a 1 tbsp cookie scoop to scoop out balls. Gently roll them into smooth balls. The mixture will be a little soft but you should be able to roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 30 to 60 minutes, or until frozen solid.
- When your peanut butter balls are almost ready, prepare the chocolate. Place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each with a silicone spatula, until melted and smooth. (Alternatively, melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water on the stove.)
- Use your favorite dipping tool to dip the peanut butter balls in chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then place back on the parchment-lined tray. Try to wipe off any excess chocolate that puddles when you place them on parchment paper. If desired, you can also garnish the peanut butter balls with coarse salt.
- Place the chocolate balls into the fridge until the chocolate is set. The balls are then ready to eat. Store uneaten peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Greek yogurt note: Make sure to use a thick Greek yogurt. A more watery, thinner brand does not work well. I like using Fage or Kirkland. You can make these with whole milk Greek yogurt but I found that the peanut butter filling set up better and was a little thicker and easier to roll when using nonfat Greek yogurt. Whole milk Greek yogurt makes the dough more soft and a little more difficult to roll into balls.
- I used Lily's dark chocolate chips* and Lakanto Sugar Free Maple Syrup*
