Keto Buckeyes

Ingredients

For the Peanut Butter Balls

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter (no sugar added)
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 2 tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Peanut Butter Balls:
    • In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, almond flour, coconut flour, powdered erythritol, softened butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
    • Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1-inch in diameter) and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
    • Refrigerate the peanut butter balls for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. Prepare the Chocolate Coating:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the sugar-free chocolate chips and coconut oil.
    • Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the Peanut Butter Balls:
    • Using a toothpick, dip each peanut butter ball into the melted chocolate, leaving a small portion of the peanut butter exposed at the top.
    • Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the dipped ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
    • Remove the toothpick and smooth out the hole with your finger or a small spoon.
  4. Set the Chocolate:
    • Once all the peanut butter balls are coated in chocolate, refrigerate them for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
  5. Serve:
    • Enjoy your keto-friendly Buckeyes! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Tips

  • If the peanut butter mixture is too soft to roll, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before forming the balls.
  • You can use crunchy peanut butter if you prefer a bit of texture in your Buckeyes.
  • Experiment with different keto-friendly nut butters like almond or cashew for a different flavor.
