We love these easy-to-make, keto peanut butter granola cups, which take less than 10 minutes to prepare. Not only that, they're a peanut butter and chocolate lover's delight!
Although these keto sweets are similar to peanut butter cups, they're different since they're crunchy, a little less sweet, and more filing due to the nut granola. And each one is just 2 net carbs.
You can eat these healthy-ish, protein-rich treats at breakfast, or as an afternoon snack, or even as an after-dinner dessert.
To make, simply mix 4 ingredients: pre-made granola, melted butter and peanut butter (melting is done via the microwave), Swerve sweetener, and a little salt. Then, spoon the mixture into muffin cups and spread a little melted chocolate (also melted in the microwave) on the top of each. They'll be crumbly to start, so you'll need to firm them up in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Then, it's time to dig in! Afterword, they should be stored in the refrigerator.
If you love chocolate and peanut butter treats, you should check out our 3-layer chocolate peanut butter bars, which are addictingly delicious!
