INGREDIENT DIRECTIVES:
SWEETENER(KETO):
- Use any of the low-carb sweeteners that are available to you. Either erythritol, monkfruit, or allulose will work best. You only need to be careful to use the different amounts of sweeteners, as the potency of each sweetener is different.
BUTTER:
- As we are working on the dessert, there should be good control over the salt content. This is the reason we will be using the unsalted version of butter.
PEANUT BUTTER:
- Always use the natural peanut butter so that you can avoid added carbs & preservatives. As most commercial peanut butters contain unhealthy fats & high carb sugars.
CHOCOLATE CHIPS:
- Go for a brand that uses keto sweeteners to make the chocolate chips. These keto chocolate chips will make your baking delicious without adding carbs. You can also choose dark chocolate shavings. It will also work for a keto diet.
KETO FLOUR:
- Here, we are using the flour of coconut. It is better not to replace the coconut flour with almond flour. As the absorbent capacity of both flours largely differs. This will ruin the texture of your blondies. It is better to stick to the amount of coconut flour as recommended by this recipe.

- Shift the batter-filled baking pan to the oven(preheated).

TIPS:
- Melt Butter & peanut butter to ensure proper mixing.
- Never include eggs when butter & peanut butter are too hot to cook them.
- Don’t overbeat. Mix with gentle hands to combine every ingredient well.
- A pinch of powdered cinnamon, flakes of sea salt, or nuts(chopped) are the optional add-ins. These add-ins are used in small amounts but make a difference(huge) in taste.
- Use the liquid (at room temperature) peanut butter to have moist blondies. If you see the separated oil in the peanut butter, be sure to mix well before measuring for the batter.
- Make small pieces of the blondies as they are too satisfying. A big piece or more than 1 small piece will be considered as over-eating.

FAQs:
Can I use any keto sweetener on the basis of availability?
- Sure! You can work with any of the keto sweeteners like stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, allulose, etc. As each sweetener gives a different amount of sweetness(potency) so you need to change the quantity if you are using a different sweetener.
Is it feasible to use almond flour instead of coconut flour?
- Both of these keto flours have different moisture content. If you have the knowledge to adjust that, then you may go for any one of them. Otherwise, if you don’t know how to adjust the moisture content while swapping the coconut flour for almond flour, then it’s better not to use almond flour.
Is there any solution if I didn’t get sugar-free chocolate chips?
- You can work with dark chocolate having 90% cocoa. This will provide you same chocolaty taste as sugar-free chocolate chips while keeping your carb count low.
How to bake your blondies in an even manner?
