Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

I love keto dessert recipes, especially ones that I can eat on the go! These Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are so indulgent and delicious, you don’t even notice that they’re keto! This low carb snack is grain free as well as gluten free, making them perfect for your whole family. These keto bites also don’t require any baking, so you can whip them up in no time! Keto chocolate snacks are also great for meal prep- prepare a few batches over the weekend and munch on them all week! For more delicious low carb recipes, check out my page of Easy Keto Recipes!

What type of sweetener do you use in protein bites?

Traditional peanut butter balls use honey as a sweetener, but that is not approved on a keto diet, so I use this amazing keto caramel sauce! This sauce only has four ingredients and it is delicious! It’s also super easy to make and keto-friendly at only 0.1 grams of net carbs per tablespoon!

How do you make Peanut Butter Protein Balls?

To make this keto snack, simply combine your peanut butter, caramel sauce, coconut flour and protein powder. Next, fold in the chocolate chips. Roll your protein bites into tablespoons and you are done! The perfect grab-and-go keto food, ready in minutes!

Are these protein bites good for meal prep?

These are a fantastic keto meal prep recipe. These Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls are perfect for portioning out (I use these containers) for your work day snack, morning energy burst or an after workout reward!

How do you store keto peanut butter balls?

To store these keto snacks, just pop them into a glass or plastic container with an airtight lid and place in the fridge. These protein bites will stay fresh for up to a week.

Tips for the best Chocolate Peanut Butter Balls

  • Use your favorite nut butter! If peanut butter isn’t what you tend to use, go ahead and use sunflower, almond, or cashew butter! You can also use a different type of peanut butter if you prefer
  • I do not recommend trying to use a different type of flour in this recipe. Coconut flour is very absorbent and helps to keep the protein bites in their shape
  • I used vanilla protein powder, but if you have a different flavor that you prefer, try that!
  • If you don’t care for chocolate chips, use whatever kind you like! Just be sure that they are sugar free to keep this recipe keto-friendly

    I wish I'd thought of asking for peanut butter as a gift. My birthday is coming up, maybe that's what I'll ask for. ;) Great recipe Annie, these look fantastic and are something I could eat everyday. Plus, Healthy!! :)

    Sounds like you hoard peanut butter like I hoard coconut oil! Hehe! What a great thing to register for (and smart)! I've been making something similar to this for years and what I love most about it is the sheer convenience of reaching into the fridge to grab one of these guys just to take the edge off when I'm hungry! One can't go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate! Great recipe, Annie! Thank you!

    That's hysterical. I love that you registered for PB! When my S.O. and I get married, I'm totally doing that. We don't even want to register at all because the last thing we need is more stuff! Haha! We need to get rid of stuff! What a great idea. These little bites look incredible. The ingredient list is perfection!!! All my favorite things!

    Now Im sad that we never got to use those registry guns! I think I would have gone a little crazy! We eat a lot of peanut butter in our house too and these bites look like the perfect snack to have around!

    LOL!! So did anyone get you the peanut butter!?!?! My hubby and I had lived together beforehand, too, so we had most stuff. I did do a few upgrades on things... and I may or may not have used Macy's gift cards for boots and clothes!! :-P Ooops! Hey, get what you want! These PB bites sound delish!!

    That is so smart to register for groceries! I had a friend who registered for a bunch of cleaning products at Target for her registry. Hey, if you need it, you need it! These chocolate chip peanut butter bites sound so good!

      Ceara thank you so much!! I shoot in natural light about 80% of the time, but because it gets dark at like 4 in the afternoon right now I am using the Lowel Ego light some of the time. These photos were taken with the lamp! :)
