Keto Peanut Butter Blondies

These easy keto blondies are heavenly! They are super moist and fudgy - and require only five minutes of prep.

This keto blondies recipe deserves a place in the hall of fame for sugar free desserts. It is that good!

I'm a huge fan of easy baking, and these blondies tick all the boxes:

• Staple kitchen pantry ingredients
• no special equipment needed (one bowl and a fork, that's it!)
• ready in 25 minutes
• 2.3g net carbs per square

And the taste! Ultra buttery and oozing peanut butter flavour, studded with chocolate chips... I'm salivating all over again.

In a nutshell, keto blondies are the blonde counterpart to my fabulously fudgy keto brownies. They are equally irresistible!

Ingredients

Here are the ingredients I used:

• Peanut Butter - I used smooth peanut butter. It must be nice and soft. You don't want the last hard dregs from the bottom of the pot. Ideally, choose a brand that contains just 1 ingredient - peanuts.
• Almond Flour - I use ground almonds in most of my recipes, this one included. Super-fine almond flour works equally well.
• Butter - melted and cooled. My butter was unsalted, but salted butter would give an interesting flavor lift.
• Eggs - Large, room temperature eggs is the way to go.
• Sweetener - I used a granulated monk fruit erythritol mix in this recipe. A golden erythritol would also be great here. You can replace the erythritol with either xylitol or allulose, which would make the blondies even softer.
• Baking Powder
• Vanilla Extract
• Sugar Free Chocolate Chips - A popular brand is Lily's. I simply made my own using 90% Lindt chocolate. I melted the chocolate and then poured it into a pyramid silicone baking mat. Or, make sugar free chocolate chips from scratch!

Instructions

Let's make easy keto blondies! Here are the basic steps.

You begin by lining a baking pan (mine measured 8 x 6 inches) with parchment paper. Also, preheat the oven.

STEP 1

Melt the butter (1 minute on high in the microwave). Then, add all ingredients except the chocolate chips to a large mixing bowl.

STEP 2

Stir with a fork until you have a smooth batter. Then, fold in the chocolate chips, holding some back to scatter over the top.

STEP 3

Fill the blondie batter into a prepared dish and scatter the remaining chocolate chips over the top.

STEP 4

Bake the blondies in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. After that, the top was golden and set, but the middle was still jiggly, a bit like a baked cheesecake.

It looked like this:

Variations

Use different nut butter: Even though these are keto peanut butter blondies, you can replace the peanut butter with any nut butter of your choice, such as almond butter.

Dairy-free blondies: Replace the butter with coconut oil.

Nut free blondies: My go-to nut-free replacement for almond flour is a 50-50 blend of sunflower seed flour and sesame seed flour.

Coconut flour blondies - I have not tested this yet, but here is my suggestion: Replace the almond flour with ⅓ cup / 40g coconut flour and add an additional egg. Coconut flour bakes up more brittle than almond flour and I think it will need the additional binder. Or, try my recipe for coconut blondies.

Storage

Store keto blondies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Alternatively, freeze them for up to 6 months. I always slice them before freezing, so I can defrost one square at a time.
