When you change your eating habits from ‘normal’ and have a family, it can be difficult finding things everyone (or at least most of the family) will eat. I’ve basically made it a mission to find things I love, that are Keto/low carb (since I’m a dirty Keto-er), AND that the family will eat.

Pinterest is my go-to for searching for recipes if I don’t come up with something on my own. The majority of the time, I rely on other things I find since I don’t have time for trial and error in the kitchen . I just make my own tweaks/modifications to fit in with what our family likes.

This recipe only has 5 ingredients and it’s basically of dumping and stirring. Can’t get much easier than that!

Start by combining the peanut butter, vanilla extract, cocoa powder, and melted butter in a bowl. Stir until well combined.

Once that is all mixed together, toss in the coconut and mix well.

Place scoops on baked sheet lined with parchment paper or Silicone Baking Mat . Gently press out slightly. Freeze and then enjoy! Keep stored in freezer.

Tip: If you like things a little sweeter, add in a little Keto approved sweetener. I like to use Lakanto Monkfruit 2:1 Powder Sugar Substitute :

Get your cookie sheet ready by putting a piece of parchment paper or silicone mat on it. As you can see by my pictures, I like to use the Amazon Silpat mat.
