Keto Peanut Butter Blondies
These Keto Peanut Butter Blondies are just as easy as your favorite brownie or bar recipe but are an exciting choice when you are craving peanut butter or just want something a little bit different.
I’ve been wanting to make a blondie for months. I knew raw cocoa/cacao butter would be an excellent substitute for chocolate in a blondie. It is naturally sugar-free and zero carb and acts similar to chocolate in baking. The flavor is mild so these are more peanut buttery than white chocolatey but they are divine.
This recipe is really easy. If you have a glass mixing bowl you can melt the cocoa butter in it is a one-bowl recipe. Those are my favorite type. If I realized the number of dirty dishes that would accumulate before I started a food blog I may have reconsidered. Thankfully, I love my job, despite the piles of dirty dishes.
What is Cacao Butter?
Cacao Butter is a plant-based natural fat that comes from cacao beans (nature’s chocolate!). Cacao butter is a great addition to smoothies for a fat boost and lends a luscious, aromatic richness when used in baked goods, hot chocolate and other warm drinks. –Navitas Organics
Is Peanut Butter Low Carb?
Yup! Just make sure you are buying one without added sugar. Peanut butter is one of the things I go through phases with. I won’t eat for months and then I can’t get enough. I’ll use it in recipe after recipe, both sweet and savory.

What does Raw Cacao Look Like?
Raw cacao/cocoa butter is normally in odd-shaped chunks. This is how my raw cocoa butter came. I just grabbed a chunk about the size of my 1/4 measuring cup and began chopping.

Great Recipe Thank You For Sharing Wonderful Article. Really This recipe is very simple and tasty.
I soaked a paper towel with the excess cocoa butter laying on top of the cookies . They were very soft afterwards and broke when trying to remove them from the pan. The flavor was great though and I’m hopeful that the recipient will love them too
He loved them
I didn’t love it. It sort of felt like it was screaming for chocolate chips. I will eat it all but would not make it again. Sorry. 🙁
I used allulose and it came out great!!! just an fyi.
Can you use trivia in place of the sweetener?
I’m not sure truvia would work in this recipe, sorry.
