Low Carb and Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
Peanuts have a mold called aflotoxin that has been studied as a possible carcinogen but darn they are so yummy! If you have a sensitivity or allergy to peanuts then this Low Carb and Keto Peanut Butter Cookie Recipe also works with almond butter.
Peanuts are technically a legume that contain lectins and phytates and cause digestive irritation. Traditionally, people soaked and sprouted beans, nuts, and seeds to reduce hard to digest properties but that has fallen out of fashion in our fast-paced culture. You can easily soak your peanut or almonds overnight then grind them to reduce anti-nutrients before making your own nut butters.

Can you clarify your nutritional info please? Approximately how many cookies does this recipe yield and is that 13 carbs per cookie or serving?
Xylitol is a known cancer causing agent.
Xylitol is known for causing stomach upset.
Any form of fake sweetener is just not a good choice. I love this recipe but would not use xylitol for any baking use. Talk about chemical use. I understand the battle of the bulge but I’ll take sugar over xylitol any day.
Xylitol is made from birch trees. I offer alternatives. Use any sugar you prefer. Thanks for reading.
I’m surprised about the baking soda. There is no acid to activate it.
It will probably work if you leave it out. Thanks for reading.
