SUGAR FREE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Creamy, sugar free peanut butter balls are an easy keto dessert that requires just a small amount of time in the kitchen and no baking needed.
They are a portion controlled treat to enjoy on your sugar free, low carb or keto diet. The filling is made quickly in your mixer, then frozen, before adding a delicious, sugar free chocolate coating around these luscious peanut butter balls.
Top with optional crushed peanuts for a festive look, as well as to make sure anyone with peanut allergies knows exactly what's in them!
I used Better than Sugar Confectioners sweetener for these peanut butter balls but you can use any low carb sweetener you prefer. Confectioners is better than using granulated because you want a nice smooth texture that granular sweeteners would not provide.
Another option besides confectioners I vanilla liquid stevia or toffee flavored liquid stevia, both would be delicious. But since liquid stevia does not provide texture as confectioners would, the peanut butter balls may be very soft.
Here is my Sweetener Guide & Conversion Chart to help you decide the best sweetener to use and how much is needed.
HOW TO MAKE KETO PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
Ingredients
You need unsweetened peanut butter, smooth is best, unsalted butter, low carb sweetener, vanilla extract, and salt.
For the outer coating you need sugar free chocolate chips and butter or coconut oil.
Directions
Add the peanut butter and butter to a stand mixer and blend until smooth.
Add a ½ cup of the confectioners sweetener along with the almond flour, vanilla extract and salt. Blend until smooth.
Add remaining confectioners to the mixer and blend once again until smooth.
Taste and decide if it's sweet enough for you. If so, place bowl in the fridge for 1 hour. Line a large baking sheet pan with parchment paper.
Remove from refrigerator and form mixture into 20 balls. I used a large cookie scoop. Spray hands with avocado oil to make it less sticky to roll.
Place the balls onto the baking pan and freeze for 1 hour.
After the balls have frozen, melt the chocolate and butter together in a bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds to a minute. Mix until smooth.
Drop one peanut butter ball into the chocolate, roll it around and use a fork to remove the ball. Tap the edges of the dish to remove excess chocolate off the bottom and place ball onto parchment sheet pan.
Once you've coated each ball, place back into the refrigerator to set.
Optional topping: Add crushed peanuts over the top of each ball while the chocolate is still warm, before it sets.
CAN I MAKE THESE NUT FREE?
Yes you can make these sugar free peanut butter balls nut free if needed. The peanut butter can be evenly swapped with sunflower seed butter, pumpkin seed butter or coconut butter.
Be careful to look at the ingredients on each jar as many contain sugar and unhealthy oils.
CAN I SWAP OUT THE ALMOND FLOUR?
Yes you can swap out the almond flour in the filling for these peanut butter balls if you have a tree nut allergy or prefer not to use it.
You can evenly swap the same amount of almond flour with sunflower seed flour.
HOW TO STORE PEANUT BUTTER BALLS
It is best to store these keto peanut butter balls in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them.
They will be fine out on the counter for at least 30 minutes, but to keep from being too soft to hold and enjoy, leaving them in the fridge in an airtight container before serving is best.

Can you use organic stir kind of pb?
Brenda Bennett
I used organic unsweetened peanut butter, I am not sure what kind that is but if it's unsweetened that would be best.
Nancy
Could I use peanut flour instead of almond, then would it be the same amount? Thanks Brenda
Brenda
Yes that will work.
Joy
