Detailed Step-by-Step Directions to Make Keto Peanut Blossoms

Ready to create some magic? Follow these simple steps to whip up a batch of the best Keto Peanut Blossoms you’ve ever tasted!

Get Prepped: Preheat your oven to a cozy 325°F (160°C). Line your baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners – this makes for easy cleanup and prevents sticking.
Cream the Fats: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 3/4 cup (193.5g) creamy natural peanut butter and the 1/4 cup (56.75g) softened butter. Mix them together until they’re super smooth and well combined.
Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the 2/3 cup (121.33g) Swerve Brown sweetener, the large egg, and the 1/2 tsp vanilla extract. Blend everything together thoroughly until the mixture is light and fluffy.
Combine Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the 1 cup (112g) almond flour, 1/4 cup (30g) peanut flour, 1/2 tsp baking soda, and 1/4 tsp salt to the wet mixture. Mix until a cohesive dough forms. Don’t overmix; just enough until it comes together.
Shape Your Cookies: Roll the dough into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place them about 2 inches apart on your prepared baking sheets. Gently flatten each ball to about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
Bake to Perfection: Pop your cookies into the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes. You’re looking for them to be soft to the touch and just lightly browned around the edges. Remember, they’ll firm up more as they cool!
Create the Wells: As soon as the cookies come out of the oven, use the back of a small teaspoon (or even your thumb!) to gently create a small well or indentation in the center of each warm cookie.
Cool Completely: This is a crucial step! Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets or a wire rack. Trying to fill them too soon will cause the chocolate to melt and run.
Make the Chocolate Filling: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 3 oz (85.05g) keto chocolate chips and the remaining 2 tbsp (32.46g) creamy natural peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Fill and Chill: Spoon the melted chocolate mixture into the wells of each cooled cookie. For the best firm set, transfer the cookies to the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is nicely firm.

Delicious Ways to Present & Serve Your Keto Peanut Blossoms

These Keto Peanut Blossoms are already showstoppers, but a little extra flair never hurts! Here are some fun ways to present and serve them:

A Pinch of Salt: Just before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a tiny pinch of flaky sea salt over each chocolate well. The sweet-and-salty combination is absolutely divine and enhances the flavors!
Contrasting Drizzle: Once the chocolate filling is firm, melt a small amount of sugar-free white chocolate chips and drizzle them artfully over the finished Keto Peanut Blossoms for a sophisticated look.
Mini Liners: For easy handling and a professional touch, place each cooled cookie in a mini paper cupcake liner before filling with chocolate. Perfect for platters!
Tiered Display: Arrange your Keto Peanut Blossoms on a multi-tiered dessert stand for a beautiful display at parties or holiday gatherings.
Nutty Garnish: Place a single, whole keto-friendly peanut or a sprinkle of finely chopped roasted peanuts on top of the melted chocolate before it sets for added texture and a visual cue.

As for serving, these versatile cookies are perfect for:

A delightful afternoon pick-me-up with your favorite sugar-free coffee or tea.
A satisfying after-dinner treat that won’t ruin your keto macros.
Adding to a keto-friendly dessert platter for potlucks or holiday parties.
A quick, delicious snack when you need a little something sweet.

Storage Tips: How to Keep Your Keto Peanut Blossoms Fresh

So, you’ve made a batch of these glorious Keto Peanut Blossoms – now how do you keep them perfectly fresh and delicious? It’s super easy!

Refrigeration is Key: Due to the soft texture and the chocolate-peanut butter filling, these cookies are best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This keeps the chocolate firm and the cookies fresh.
How Long Do They Last? When stored properly in the fridge, your Keto Peanut Blossoms will stay fresh and delicious for up to 5-7 days.
Can You Freeze Them? Yes! These cookies freeze beautifully. Once the chocolate filling is completely firm, arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid (about 1-2 hours). Then, transfer the frozen cookies to a freezer-safe bag or container, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking. They can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
Thawing Frozen Cookies: To enjoy a frozen Keto Peanut Blossom, simply transfer it from the freezer to the refrigerator for a few hours, or let it sit at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes until thawed to your desired texture.

FAQs About Keto Peanut Blossoms

What is a “Keto Peanut Blossom”?
A Keto Peanut Blossom is a low-carb, sugar-free version of the classic Peanut Blossom cookie. It features a soft peanut butter cookie base with a distinct indentation filled with a rich chocolate-peanut butter mixture, all while adhering to ketogenic dietary guidelines.
Can I use a different sweetener?
Yes, you can. While Swerve Brown sweetener is recommended for its brown sugar-like flavor and texture, other granular keto-friendly sweeteners like erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose can be used. Adjust the amount to your taste as sweetness levels vary between brands.
Is natural peanut butter necessary?
Using creamy natural peanut butter (the kind with just peanuts and salt) is highly recommended. Other peanut butters often contain added sugars and oils that are not keto-friendly and can alter the cookie’s texture.
Can I make these dairy-free?
Yes, you can! Simply substitute the regular butter with a good quality plant-based butter alternative. Most keto chocolate chips are already dairy-free, but always double-check the label.
What if I don’t have peanut flour?
If you don’t have peanut flour, you can increase the almond flour to 1 1/4 cups (140g) total. Peanut flour adds an extra depth of peanut flavor and protein, but the cookies will still be delicious without it.
How do I prevent the chocolate from cracking?
Ensure your cookies are completely cool before filling them with chocolate. Also, avoid refrigerating them immediately after filling if the chocolate is still very warm, as extreme temperature changes can cause cracking. Let them cool slightly at room temperature first, then chill.
Can I use a different type of chocolate?
You can use any keto-friendly chocolate chips or chopped sugar-free chocolate bar for the filling. Darker keto chocolates tend to be richer, while milk chocolate alternatives will be sweeter.
Why did my cookies spread too much?
Cookies can spread if the butter was too soft, the oven temperature was too low, or if the dough wasn’t firm enough. Ensure your butter is softened but not melted, and consider chilling the dough for 15-20 minutes before shaping if it feels very sticky.
Are these suitable for freezing?
Absolutely! These Keto Peanut Blossoms freeze exceptionally well. Freeze them solid on a baking sheet first, then transfer to an airtight freezer-safe container or bag for up to 2-3 months.
What’s the difference between total carbs and net carbs?
Total carbs include all carbohydrates, while net carbs are total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols (which are typically not digested and don’t raise blood sugar). For keto, net carbs are the primary count you monitor, as they represent the carbs that impact your blood sugar.
