Did somebody say peanut butter? If peanut butter was a love language, I’m certain that it would be one of mine. And, well, these keto Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies would be on the list of delicious low-carb snacks.
Delicious Keto Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
This low carb keto recipe is not only easy to make, but has a simple ingredient list to boot! When the temps are scorching hot, the oven is NOT your BFF. So, instead of depriving ourselves, we turn to no-bake recipes. And the ones with peanut butter have priority, of course (wink-wink).
We just got back from a trip to St. John’s, Newfoundland. We took a quick trip to Elliston, the Root Cellar capital of the world — and they also have a great Puffin sighting spot too.
Are you familiar with what a root cellar is? I was reminded of the root cellars today while typing up this recipe. Why? Because these Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies have to be refrigerated. Ever wonder what existed before refrigerators? It was root cellars.
Root Cellar in Elliston, NL
Root Cellar in Elliston, NL“These traditional food storage systems – used mainly for root vegetables like potatoes and carrots – are built right into the ground, mainly into small hills and banks. The natural humidity and moisture keeps things cool in the summer and prevents freezing in the winter.” (source: Newfoundland Labrador Website)
The root cellars are scattered throughout the rolling hills and look like they’re a natural part of the landscape. It’s quite fascinating. We took a peek inside one. Since it was a considerably warm day — it felt amazing. It reminded me of the walk-in refrigerators we used at Arby’s when I worked there in high school (haha, good times).
I told Steve they reminded me of the hobbit homes on Lord of the Rings. It made me smile and my imagination ran wild.
However, before refrigerators, I guess you’d have stored these Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies in the root cellar. Who knew?
Low- Carb Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
Thankfully we now have refrigerators and electric appliances, like a food processor to speed up the process of making these cookies.
With the use of one bowl, a food processor and a couple of measuring spoons and/or cups, the clean up is at a minimum too! That’s a win-win in my book. So what are you waiting for? Let’s whip up a batch. Enjoy!
Peanut Butter No-Bake Cookies
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup room temperature filtered water
- 1/2 cup peanut butter powder or creamy regular peanut butter

I was wondering if you had a no bake recipe without using a food processor, sorry I don’t own one and they sound yummy. Not really worried about using the keto ingred. And thought maybe you might have a recipe on hand. Thank you and have a sweet day… Smile

Hi Rhonda. Unfortunately, I don’t. You might try a blender, that seems to be a close second when blending foods. I wish I could be of more help. Cheers!

These look amazing and I would love to try them. I hesitate because you didn’t include the nutritional facts and I don’t know how many carbs etc. are in each cookie. Would it be possible to post that info?
Kelly Rowe says
Hi Becky! I added the nutritional information for you… this is calculated using creamy peanut butter. Have a great day!
