How to Make Keto No-Bake Cookies (Quick, Easy & Low Carb)
Let’s Make It Together
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter until it’s nice and buttery.
- Stir in the chunky peanut butter and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and rich.
- Add the unsweetened shredded coconut and liquid stevia; mix well until combined.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized spoonfuls onto a small parchment-lined sheet pan, or any dish that will fit in your freezer — a cutting board or a plate will work just fine!
- Freeze the cookies for about 15 minutes until they firm up beautifully.
- Carefully cut and separate the parchment paper while keeping the cookies intact, so that each cookie retains a piece of paper underneath — this will keep them from sticking together.
