    No-bake treats like these Low-Carb Peanut Butter Balls, No-Bake Brownie Bites, and Lemon Poppy Seed Bites are my downfall. I just can't stop making and eating them!

    Plus, they are filling because they have protein and fat to keep us full until dinner. Best. Recipe. Everrrr.

    The peanut butter

    For the peanut butter, I recommend using a creamy, unsweetened, no-stir variety. However, if there's oil sitting on top, just be sure to stir it really well or process it in the food processor before measuring.

    Also, any nut butter will work! If you're nut-free, feel free to use sunbutter.

    The sweetener

    For the sweetener, I use a combination of powdered low-carb sweetener and low-carb maple syrup. I've found that this combination results in the best taste.

    While granulated low-carb sweeteners can be used, I've found that these can be a little more "crunchy" than traditional sugar. This is why I prefer powdered.

    For the sweetener, any powdered sweetener or maple syrup will work. I prefer to use Besti Monk Fruit Allulose Powdered sweetener because it has no aftertaste and dissolves well.

    For Paleo, feel free to use coconut palm sugar and pure maple syrup.

    🔪Easy instructions

    batter in large white bowl

    All you do is mix together all of the ingredients in a large bowl. This includes peanut butter, powdered sweetener, maple syrup, coconut flour, and vanilla.

    The batter should be fairly thick. Add more coconut flour, one Tablespoon at a time, if the batter needs to be thicker.

    Then, stir in the chocolate chips.

    💭Tip: A word of caution: not all coconut flour is the same! Some brands are much more absorbent than others. Because of this, I only recommend Bob's Red Mill, Besti, or Arrowhead Mills. If you choose to use a different brand, you may need more coconut flour than the recipe calls for.

    Roll the batter into 18 Tablespoon-sized balls and place on a lined baking sheet.

    If needed, transfer to the fridge for 10 minutes or the refrigerator for about 20 minutes to firm up.
