Peanuts On Keto?
We get asked about peanut butter often. Can you consume it on a keto diet? I’ve been told it’s a legume so it’s no no – is that true? Well, I think when it comes to any food you are considering consuming you need to look at the food as a whole, including the macros of the food.
While high in fat and moderate in protein, the carbs can add up on all nut butters. They are caloric-ly dense and easy to consume in surplus! For those reasons they might be best to stay away from, however, they are totally fine to consume on a keto diet and in moderation!

Can I use almond flour? I have a bag that I’m trying to use up.
Coconut flour and almond flour can’t be substituted 1:1, since coconut flour is so much more absorbent! If you try it, you’ll have to play around with ratios. Let us know if you give it a shot!
Try using up that almond flour by making their cornbread. It requires 2 cups and is easily my FAVORITE kept recipe. As soon as I eat the last piece I am on my way to making the next batch.
Yum! Yum! Gonna try this tonight! I make some of your other mug cakes. I also make a mug cinnamon roll with cream cheese frosting. Love you guys😊 can’t wait to see the little baby🤗
Can you make this without the powdered peanut butter?
Mmmm hello my lovely 💕💕. Coconut flour is my preferred flour… thanks so much
I made this and it was very yummy and satisfying. I didn’t have blackberries. Instead, I topped it with the Almond Reddi-whip. Delicious! Thanks Megha!
What if you don’t have the pb powder?
Serving size is pretty funny. Nobody is going to only eat half of this deliciousness!!! Great recipe guys!!
What could be used instead of cream cheese if you can’t have diary? maybe something like coconut cream or maybe even something to thicken such as gelatine or xanthan gum…?
So instead of making a jam. I whipped cream with isopure banana protein powder for a peanut butter and banana treat!
