Peanut Butter Blondies Inspiration

This delicious keto dessert was entirely inspired by the delicious bag of sugar-free peanut butter chips that showed up at my door.

I knew it was only a matter of time before someone developed keto friendly PB chips. And it was no surprise that the honour belongs to the innovative team over at ChocZero.

They’re always coming up with wonderful new sugar-free treats. Sometimes I can’t even keep up!

But as a diehard baker, I was very excited by the peanut butter chips. It opens up a whole new world of recipe possibilities!

Now, I know not everyone has access to ChocZero products so let me just say that these keto peanut butter blondies would be great even without the chips. Or you could sub milk or dark chocolate chips, or even white chocolate chips in their place.

Ingredients for keto peanut butter blondies

Peanut butter – Of course that goes without saying! I recommend using a good creamy natural peanut butter. If it’s the kind where the oil separates, make sure to really stir it well.
Butter – Both the blondies and the glaze take butter.
Almond flour – Good, finely ground almond flour makes the best keto blondies. Coconut flour will not work in this recipe.
Swerve Brown – A brown sugar replacement brings out the best flavor, although regular granulated sweetener will do in a pinch.
Egg and egg yolk – Using an extra yolk helps give these blondies a softer, more gooey consistency.
Baking powder – Blondies are meant to be dense, so use just a little baking powder. We don’t want them to rise too much.
Swerve Confectioners – A good powdered sweetener is integral to the peanut butter glaze.
Heavy cream – This thins out the glaze and makes it a beautiful, spreadable consistency.
Vanilla extract – Vanilla adds flavor to both the bars and the glaze.

Tips for keto blondies

Use a metal baking pan. Metal conducts heat much more efficiently than glass or ceramic, so brownies and bars will cook through much more quickly and evenly.
Melt the peanut butter and butter. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop. Just be sure not to overheat them so that they doesn’t cook the eggs when you stir it into the mix.
Don’t skip the extra yolk. As mentioned above, this helps make the blondies more moist and tender.
Bake until not quite set. To determine the level of doneness, look for golden brown edges but a center that still looks a little bit wet and is soft to the touch.
Cool completely. Keto peanut butter blondies will be too soft and fragile to cut properly until they are cool.
Add the glaze. Make sure to spread the glaze right after you make it, as it will thicken considerably as it cools.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the best peanut butter to use?

I really like Justin’s because it’s super creamy and doesn’t need any extra stirring. However, it contains no salt so I usually add another ¼ teaspoon when I use it for baking.

Can I use a different sweetener?

Any granular sweetener will work in the blondies but a brown sugar replacement gives them the best flavor. Also note that allulose and BochaSweet may make the blondies more soft and cake-y, rather than dense like real blondies.

The glaze requires a good powdered sweetener for the proper consistency.

I can’t find keto peanut butter chips, what do I do?

You can either skip the chips completely or use dark, milk, or even white chocolate chips. The blondies will be delicious no matter what!

How do I make these dairy free?

You can replace the butter in both the blondies and the glaze with coconut oil, ghee, or palm shortening.
