Is Peanut Butter OK On A Keto Diet?
- Natural Peanut Butter. Not all peanut butter is made equally. That's why I always suggest going for the more natural peanut butter options, especially when making recipes like this Keto Peanut Butter Cake. All-natural peanut butter is indeed a keto-friendly ingredient.
- Extra Sugar. Many kinds of peanut butter will have a lot of extra sugar or other unnecessary ingredients added. Natural peanut butter is lower-cajrb and better for you in general.
- High Fat. With all the fat and flavor in peanut butter, I find it very satisfying. Nuts are a great choice as a snack while following the keto lifestyle because of their natural oils and fats. This is the same thing with peanut butter since it's made out of peanuts. It also has a great amount of protein as well as fiber. All of these aspects are perfect while following keto parameters.

How Do You Make Peanut Butter Cake From Scratch?
- Grease. Butter a 6-cup bundt pan and set aside.
- Preheat. Preheat oven to 350F.
- Mix. Meanwhile, place butter, peanut butter, and swerve into a stand mixer bowl. Use a whisk attachment to cream and aerate the ingredients, about 3-4 minutes. The mixture should be light and form soft peaks.

- Bake. Pour batter into the prepared bundt pan and bake for 30 minutes.
Tips for Making Peanut Butter Cake
- Sweetener. It's important to note that this cake is sweetened with a keto-friendly sweetener called Swerve. If you haven't used this before, many of my dessert recipes utilize it and it's worth checking into. You can use other options, but they may not substitute straight across amount wise.
- Peanut Butter. Not all natural peanut butters are created equal, so make sure to take a moment to read over the nutrition label before picking one.
What Does Peanut Butter Do In Baking?
Peanut Butter is a fantastic ingredient to add to any baked treats. It adds a fantastic amount of sweetness without being overwhelming. It also changes the texture of cakes and cookies to make them slightly more dense and decadent.

I made two of them, one with creamy peanut butter and one with powdered peanut butter. They were only slightly different in texture and color, but both were delicious, not a crumb left! Though, the one with powder peanut butter was the biggest hit!
