Keto No Bake 3 Ingredient Peanut Butter Cookies
Easy 3 ingredient peanut butter cookies that don't require any cooking or baking.
Ingredients
- 1 cup natural creamy peanut butter, unsweetened
- 1/4 cup sugar free maple flavored syrup, I used Lakanto maple syrup
- 4 tbsp (1/4 cup) coconut flour, or up to 7 tbsp total (see notes for details)
Instructions
- Line a large baking pan with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
- In a large bowl, add peanut butter and maple syrup. Stir together with a spatula until it is evenly combined. It should thicken and be a paste-like consistency.
- Stir in the coconut flour. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed. See notes where I discuss the texture differences for the different amounts of coconut flour.
- Using a 1.5 tbsp cookie scoop, scoop up cookie dough. Press the dough into the cookie scoop so it compacts it before releasing the dough ball onto cookie sheet. Repeat with remaining dough, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Press dough balls with palm of hand until they become thick round disks, between 1/4 inch - 1/2 inch thick. Use a large fork to make criss cross indent pattern on surface of cookies.
- Place cookie sheet into fridge and refrigerate for about 1 hour or until cookies are firm. You should be able to peel the cookies off of the parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Store uneaten cookies in the fridge.

- Adapted from The Big Man's World
- Make sure to use creamy natural peanut butter because regular peanut butter is too thick. I discuss the importance of each ingredient in further detail near the beginning of the post under "Ingredients"
- Use a thin sugar-free syrup (not a thick, honey-like consistency), otherwise your paste will be too thick. I used Lakanto Maple Flavored Syrup*
- The cookie texture changes depending on how much coconut flour you add. If you add 1/4 cup, the cookies will be very soft and fudgy, but they also will not hold together as well. If you add 7 tbsp, the cookie dough will be dry and harder to form but the cookies are sturdier and taste more cookie-like. See my section on "How Much Coconut Flour to Add" for more details.
- If you find your dough is too dry, just add a little more syrup or peanut butter.
