Seriously delicious! Low Carb Keto Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles. LCHF Banting Grain-free recipe.

I used to be relatively cool. I lived in a funky little neighbourhood in Boston, with lots of fun little shops and interesting people. And then I had a child. And then a second child. And suddenly, we were too many people for our little condo in the funky neighbourhood, and we started looking for bigger houses and better schools. And then I had a third child and I joined a book club. I believe that last bit was the death toll for any amount of coolness I once had. Don’t get me wrong, I love my book club, but it is so very suburbanite of me to belong to one and I can no longer fool myself that I am young and cool. But it’s okay. As it turns out, I quite like the older, less cool, suburbanite mother of three that I have become.

Easy No Bake Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles. Low carb and gluten-free!

I hosted the last book club meeting, and a friend who is interested in the gluten free, lower carb way of life requested that I make something to fit that bill. It seemed like the perfect opportunity to try out another peanut flour recipe I had in mind. I’d noticed an interesting quality to peanut flour when I was working with it on the Flourless Chocolate Cakes I made for my husband’s birthday. When mixed with just butter, cocoa and sweetener, it had an almost fudge-like consistency, and it had me scheming on how I might use this quality to advantage. I had no clue if it would work, but I thought it might make an excellent peanut-buttery center to a truffle. Cookie-dough truffles are all the rage these days, so why not a low carb, gluten free version?

The best Low Carb Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles

Working with low carb and gluten free ingredients has challenged my creativity in the kitchen and I daresay that I am a better cook and baker than I was before. When I notice how a certain ingredient behaves, I start thinking about how I might use it in other ways, and it usually works in my favour. It certainly worked out in this case! These were so tasty and quite easy to make, and I was proud to serve them to everyone, even those who had no reason to be eating low carb or gluten free. Everyone said they liked them and I don’t think they were just being polite, as I saw at least two women go back for seconds. My husband and I enjoyed eating the leftovers over the next few days. I didn’t share them with the kids…they still have lots of candy left over from Halloween and Christmas, so these were mine!

Servings: 24 truffles
Calories: 131 kcal
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Cookie Dough:
Chocolate Coating:
Instructions
Cookie Dough:

  1. Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper.

  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butter and peanut butter together on high for one minute (or until butter is melted). Stir in sweetener and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Add the peanut flour and stir until a stiff dough forms. Add more if your dough still seems wet or goopy.
  4. Roll dough into 1 inch balls and place on prepared baking sheet. Place in freezer until firm, about 1 hour.
Chocolate Coating:

  1. Place chocolate and cocoa butter or butter in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir until smooth.

  2. Drop frozen cookie dough balls in chocolate and use a fork to roll around to coat. Lift out and tap fork firmly against the side of the the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
  3. Place back on baking sheet and sprinkle with chopped peanuts, if desired. The chocolate will set quickly if the dough balls are frozen so sprinkle each truffle right after dipping in chocolate.
  4. Store in refrigerator.

  12. oh WOW these look great! I'm curious along with Lauren – what does the erythritol do? My book club would love these, too – can't wait to test them out!

    Reply

  14. Beth and Lauren and anyone else…erythritol is a low carb sweetener so you could easily sub sugar in this recipe. If you wanted to, you could omit erythritol and stevia and put in 3/4 cup of sugar or so. You might have to experiment with it to get the sweetness you want.

Shall we make a 'no Mom jeans' pact at a minimum?!

    The treats are delicious looking (the photos divine as always) and my fave sweet flavor combo. Totally agree on the skills expansion now being gluten free too.

    • This is so funny, I can’t believe we ptseod practically the same recipe! I haven’t found any problem with erythritol crystallizing in my recipes, I wonder what’s up with that? My cheesecakes were made with erythritol except for the crust and no crystallization at all. Is it the brand, I wonder? I’ve been using ZSweet lately because I found a good deal on Amazon.

  51. Personally, I think you're super cool. I mean, you make PEANUT BUTTER TRUFFLES. What could be cooler and more addictive than that? You're basically like a drug dealer. Except that instead of narcotics, you deal in delicious baked goods. Way better if you ask me.

  80. Not sure if you will see this, but I don't see another way to contact you… I'm in Canada and am having a heck of a time finding peanut flour… so, if I end up just SOL, could I substitute almond or coconut flour? Would you bother? I imagine you can think of something I'd need to add if not using peanut flour. And boo to our damn limited Canadian markets!

    Reply

  81. Hi Erin,

    Almond flour definitely won't behave quite the same way. Peanut flour is very dense and soaks up a lot of moisture. I'd go ahead and try the almond flour, but you may need to add more of it to get the balls to hold together. And next time you're in the US, get some peanut flour and smuggle it home! I am from Canada originally, as it happens, and my family orders things sent to my house here in Boston and then picks it up when they come to visit!

    Reply

  82. Got some shipped to me via a low carb place here in Canada. Made the truffles just now (best part was eating the dregs in the bowl!), they are in the freezer right now and I'm about to do the chocolate coating.

    I also did your chocolate mint wafers (Girl Guide ones) but my chocolate wasn't drippy enough, I had to use the forks to kinda scrape (well, it was melty but not as much as I think it should have been!)… so I am fearing the same thing with this chocolate coating escapade. Last time I used 70% Cacao Lindt, this time I will go 'by your book' and do the 85% and see if it is better! Any tips if it isn't?!

    Reply

  83. Hi Erin. Hope you see this in time! If your chocolate isn't melty enough to coating, just add a touch of vegetable oil or butter (a tsp or so at a time until you get the right consistency for coating). I wonder why your Lindt isn't melting right? I don't know that the amount of cacao would make that much of a difference. Make sure your heat isn't too high, as that can thicken the chocolate too. Low only, or if you need to, a metal bowl set over simmering water.

    Reply

  84. OMG… did it! And OMFG, they are to die for!! For some reason the 85% bar chocolate did seem to be runnier…?! But I also tink I had the the heat too high last ime, and yes I did the bowl over simmering pot.

  85. We could bake this truffle in different shape. I have made in square shape one week ago. I will surely bake peanut butter dough truffle tomorrow.

  86. Carolyn,
    I recently discovered your blog and I am so happy that I did! I love your writing style (it’s like I’m reading a letter from a friend), your photographs always make me hungry and, certainly not least, your recipes -they are smart, simple and scrumptious. I appreciate so much that you use basic, easy-to-find, NATURAL ingredients. Erythritol, stevia, nut flours, whey protein powder, xanthan gum, almond milk, Greek yogurt -all staples in my kitchen. I never have to go shopping to make your recipes; I LOVE that! I also appreciate the back story in each of your recipes, and especially your invaluable “The Results” section, where you give us honest feedback on what to expect.

    A few months ago I purchased peanut flour from Trader Joe’s on a whim. Unfortunately, once I had it at home I did not know what to do with it (although I did find a spicy peanut scallop recipe online that I must try next time I have some big scallops!) I put the vacuum packed bag in my fridge to keep it as fresh as possible. Then, this last Monday night I found your Peanut Butter Cookie Dough Truffles recipe. Oh – my – goodness! I went to bed thinking about these! I made them last night and had one first thing this morning. These are soooo good! They are delicious, elegant peanut butter cups! The recipe is so quick and easy to make (fastest and easiest candy EVER!) And the ingredients are simple and natural, which I really appreciate.

    I did add ¼ teaspoon salt because I used unsalted butter and unsalted peanut butter. I thought it would help bring out the flavors and balance out the sweet. It was the perfect amount – for my taste. My husband gets home tomorrow (the reason I made these), so I’ll get his feedback then. I am not sure if it did anything, but I also added ½ teaspoon of carob/guar/acacia/xanthan gum mix to it because I have confirmed that (in fudge) it helps conceal the cooling effect of erythritol. You did not mention anything about this cooling effect in this recipe, so I may have wasted my product in this application, but I wanted to play it safe. Lastly, since I still cannot afford the carbohydrates of real chocolate, I made my own, sweetened with stevia and erythritol. I have not perfected my recipe, but it comes out better every time. And as a thin coating on these lovely truffles it does not ruin your recipe at all. Actually, like I said, they were truly delicious.

    I do have two questions:
    1) Did you notice any cooling effect with the erythritol, or is there so little of it in this recipe that it does not come through? (I'm just wondering if I need to add my xanthan gum mix or not.)

    2) Is there a reason as to why you specify “granulated” erythritol? The truffles are a perfect, not-too-sweet taste. The granulated erythritol adds a sugary crunch that I honestly cannot decide if I like or not. It’s kind of neat, since there is absolutely no cooling sensation, it really does feel like I am crunching through real sugar. But I wonder if powdered erythritol might not make a smoother/creamier (or duller?) truffle. I thought perhaps you went with granulated over powdered since more granules in the powdered might mean more surface area, which might lead to more of a cooling effect. (?) But I might be over-thinking it.

    I know you are very busy -sorry I wrote so much. Thanks for taking the time to provide so many people with your wonderful ideas, photos and delicious recipes!

  87. Hi Gabriela,
    So glad you liked these truffles. Let me see if I can address the issues you mention…
    First, I did not find any cooling sensation with these at all. When I use erythritol in lower amounts, like 1/4 cup, along with stevia, I don't generally get the cooling sensation. Someone else gave me the tip about xanthan gum, though, for concentrated erythritol. That's a good one!
    Second of all, I didn't find a sugary crunch with the erythritol at all. I wonder if it's the brand? I usually use Zsweet, which is erythritol with a bit of stevia. A lot of people say that their erythritol crystallizes out of things like this and things like cheesecake, but I rarely, if ever, have that problem when I use Zsweet. But powdered erythritol would be fine here too.
    I made these quite some time ago and since then, have come up with a pretty good chocolate ganache made from unsweetened chocolate and cocoa, so let carbs than using Lindt or some other chocolate. I used it here on this Boston Cream Pie, although probably much more than you need for these truffles. Feel free to try it if you make them again!

  88. Thank you, Carolyn for your quick reply. I don't remember which brand of granular erythritol I bought. I know it was from Netrition and it was either Sensato (my powdered source) or NOW. Either way, I stock Zsweet as well, so I will certainly try that next time. Which brings up a question: If, instead of erythritol, I use Zsweet (which has stevia in it already), do I still add the 16 drops of stevia?

    And one last question (I promise!), does the chocolate glaze from your amazing Boston Cream Pie actually set, or should I adjust your recipe to get it to solidify for the truffles?

    Thank you so much for your help and suggestions, in addition to your wonderful blog!

    Gabriela

    Reply

  89. Hi Gabriela,
    I use Zsweet and other brands of erythritol almost interchangeably, and I always add some stevia. I don't think Zsweet has all that much stevia in it and I've always found that they really enhance each other's sweetness. So in this case, yes, still add the 16 drops of stevia extract.
    The chocolate glaze from the BCP would set. It won't get fully hardened, it will be a touch on the soft side. You might try doing a little less butter when doing it for the truffles, or keep them in the fridge when not being served.
    Have a great weekend!

  90. These were yummy, yummy, yummy. A little time-consuming to roll the balls in the ganache, but ultimately worth it. And don't anybdy do what I did–dumping a bunch of the balls in the ganache at once to roll around simultaneously and save time. They were still very cold from the freezer and they ended up doing more clumping than rolling. Duh!

  91. Wow, Catherine, you went wild leaving comments. And you made some of my earliest recipes. Knowing what I know now, there are definitely things I'd change about a few of them, like the chocolate hazelnut cookies, that might make them better. Maybe someday I will go back and experiment. Thanks for all of your input!

  92. You're welcome! One thing I can't stand on a cooking blog is comment after comment that says nothing more than "OMG! That looks great–can't wait to make it!" Everyone has a right to express his excitement, of course, but I'm personally looking for something more constructive. I love to hear others' experiences when they try a recipe, so I also try to share mine. And thank you for all the work you do on this blog–it's your recipes alone that are getting me through my current pregnancy without my usual 50+ lb. weight gain.

  94. AWE-MAZING !! Made last night with all the same ingredients, used powdered erythritol and actually added a scoop of vanilla whey protein. Added a dash a almond milk to help with the whey and dipped them in the Lindt chocolate! Super easy, super delicious! So good actually that my husband left a note begging I make more before he gets home! Oh, and instead of the liquid stevia I used a dash of the nunaturals powdered pure stevia!! So good! Thanks for the great recipe!

    • Well, they are similar but keep in mind that PB2 is made with sugar. They aren’t totally different because they are both fine, powdery, defatted ground peanuts.

  101. Hey there! I would like to make these truffles as part of my husband’s Christmas gift, and I was wondering if I could use an 85% extra dark chocolate bar instead of the Lily’s stevia sweetened bar? The 85% chocolate bar would be easier for me to obtain at this point. Thanks!

    BUCKEYES!! This is the perfect consistency of my beloved buckeyes! I need to play with the sugar sub (cooling effect is pretty strong), but the consistency is perfect! You’ve mastered it and I couldn’t be happier! I used a SF Lakanto sugar and it too had too much of that cooking aftertaste. So I added Giradelis 99% chocolate plus a punch of salt. That helped knock it down to acceptable. Will just use 85% chocolate next time with the cocoa butter. To finish off as Buckeyes, after partially freezing, I dipped with a toothpick stuck in the top, leaving the peanut butter “Buckeye” top. Sooo pretty! I’ll have to hide these! I have waited at least 7 years for this perfect consistency! Thank you so much!

    This is one of my favorite snacks!! It’s so easy to make and so yummy. I ran into a problem and I am hoping you or other readers can help me out. I normally use my homemade sugar-free chocolate to make the chocolate coating. This last batch I made, I ran out of my homemade sugar-free chocolate, so I used Lily’s baking chocolate chips and added 1 tbsp butter per the recipe. However, the mixture turned out really thick like peanut butter. I melt them using the typical double boiler method. What did I do wrong?? Help!

    Reply

    • Try using defatted almond flour or coconut flour. You won’t need as much coconut flour as peanut flour so add just a little at a time until you get that doughy consistency that isn’t sticky at all, and you can still roll it into balls.

      Reply

    • What brand is it? What fat content? If it’s just ground peanuts, it will be more coarse and it won’t make very nice truffles. But if it says it’s roasted and about 12% fat, then it is somewhat defatted and will be very fine and powdery and perfect for these.
