Keto-Friendly Peanut Butter
When you are looking for a keto-friendly peanut butter, always look at the ingredients list. Find one that only has two ingredients – peanuts and oil (and maybe salt). Do not buy anything that lists any type of sugar as an ingredient.
If you are allergic to peanut butter, you can use almond butter instead. You should probably leave the peanut butter cups off as well if you are avoiding peanut butter.
Keto Peanut Butter Cheesecake Bites
These are the perfect desserts to make ahead and freeze for later. If you are going to freeze them, I suggest placing them on a baking sheet and freezing them completely first.
Then, wrap them up individually in wax or parchment paper and keep them in an airtight freezer-safe food storage bag.
They will stay fresh in the freezer for up to 6 months.
