DIY Skippy P.B. Bites — Seriously Addictive Keto-Friendly Peanut Butter Balls
Peanut butter is basically heaven.
How lucky are we that peanut butter is keto-friendly and undoubtedly DELICIOUS! I swear to you, these keto peanut butter balls are SO easy to make, and at all only 4 net carbs, they taste way better than Skippy brand P.B. Bites (which come in at a whopping 14 net carbs per serving) to make a delicious keto-friendly dessert.
Hallelujah, happy dance for these keto peanut butter balls! 😍
If you’re feeling frisky, roll them in one of my faves:
- Powdered erythritol & unsweetened cocoa powder blend (1:1 ratio, 1 tablespoon of each is more than enough per batch)
- Coconut flakes (with no added sugar)
- Crushed peanuts (I like to use dry roasted)
Simply roll your already shaped peanut butter balls in the topping just before you pop them in the freezer to set up. Delish!
DIY Skippy P.B. Bites
yield: 6 SERVINGS
prep time: 10 MINUTES
total time: 10 MINUTES
These keto-friendly peanut butter balls are seriously addictive and so easy to make!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, creamy, no added sugar (I use Adams No-Stir)
- 1/4 cup grass fed whey protein powder w/ no added sugar, vanilla (I use Bodylogix Natural Whey)
- 1/4 cup peanut butter powder (I use PBfit)
- 1/4 cup erythritol, granular or your preferred granular sweetener (I use Lakanto, Golden)
Directions
1
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2
Combine all ingredients into a medium mixing bowl. I typically use a wooden spoon for the initial blending. Then I switch to my hands using a kneading technique to work the mixture into a uniform dough.
3
Divide the dough onto the prepared cookie sheet into 24 even portions. Roll each portion into a ball. The balls will be small, about 3/4" in diameter.
4
Place the cookie sheet with rolled peanut butter balls into the freezer (on a level surface) for at least 1/2 hour to set up. Enjoy!
5
For best results, store peanut butter balls in an airtight container in the freezer.
Additional Notes
For a softer texture, allow to thaw just a bit before eating.
If desired, jazz up your P.B. balls with one of my favorite toppings:
- Powdered erythritol & unsweetened cocoa powder blend (1:1 ratio, 1 tablespoon of each is more than enough per batch)
- Coconut flakes (w/ no added sugar)
- Crushed peanuts (I like to use dry roasted)
Simply roll your already shaped peanut butter balls in the topping after step #3, just before you pop them in the freezer to set up.
As a general rule of thumb, frozen foods will keep for at least one to two months.

This sounds amazing! I want to make them right now but don’t have any peanut butter. Have you ever tried with almond butter?
Hey, Courtney! Yeah, they’re seriously AMAZEBALLS! Pun intended. 😉 I haven’t tried them with almond butter although I’m pretty sure that’d work fine. Let me know if you give it a whirl!
Looks yummy! Thank you! 🙂
At the top you said “whopping 14 net carbs per serving” but at the bottom it says 4 – thought you may want to edit the typo! 🙂
Hi Shirley! Thanks so much for the feedback. The 14 net carbs mentioned at the start of the post is referring to Skippy brand P.B. Bites and not the recipe posted above. I went ahead and adjusted the verbiage a bit in hopes of not confusing anybody else. 🤗
these sound awesome. not sure I’d like this brand of whey though as I cannot stand stevia. I’ve used EID pro (plant based) for awhile bc it doesn’t have any sweetener in it. Also, I’m recommending Marantha No stir PB- only 6 carbs per 2TBS serving. It’s AMAZING and available at Walmart for the best price!
Christina, thanks for the awesome tips! I absolutely encourage you to use your favorite products for this recipe. Enjoy!
Yummy! Do you NEED to have the PB powder, or can you leave out or sub with something else? I’m trying NOT to buy something else I may only use once in awhile. Thanks for all your posts!
Hi Jennifer. That’s a good question! You can try substituting super-fine blanched almond flour in place of the peanut butter powder, however, this will likely alter the texture a bit (it may be a touch grainy) and you’ll lose some of the peanut flavor. I’ll be curious to hear how it turns out if you give it a shot.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying our posts. Keep coming back! 😊
Is there something I can substitute for the protein powder? I don’t have any sugar free one right now but really want to make these. Thanks.
Hi Ann. Hmm, I’m honestly not sure what would be a good substitute for the SF protein powder. You could try subbing 2 tablespoons coconut flour for the 1/4 protein powder or increasing the amount of peanut butter powder until you reach a good consistency. Hope it works out okay. Good luck! ✨
Thank you. I will try that.
Has anyone tried substituting for the protein powder yet? If so what? How did it work?
WOW!! I’ve been having these choc pb balls “using the cocoa” as our Christmas candy, and they’re AMAZING!! Its a very simple recipe with a great final product, thank you 🎅
You’re so welcome, Big Dawg! Glad you are loving these!
