I’ve always loved making bar cookies because they are easy! I often converted regular cookie recipes into bars. It’s time saving when you don’t have to roll out and cut cookies. This cookie bar was inspired by basic flourless peanut butter cookie recipe I’ve been making for years. It combines two of my favorite things.. chocolate and peanut butter!

Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened natural peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup Choczero chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup granular sweetener
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 drops (1ml) liquid stevia
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375 degree. Grease an 8-inch baking pan.
- Put all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Using a wooden spoon, stir until well combined. Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared pan.
- Bake for 14 to 16 minutes, until the edges are brown and the center is set. Watch closely and be careful not to overbake; checking at the 14 minutes because the cookie can burn easily.
- Allow to cool completely in the pan before cutting into 12 bars. (they will firm up as they cool.) Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.

Great thanks!
Can I use a different liquid sweetener in place of the stevia? These look amazing by the way!
Hi! I don’t think I would use a liquid because there aren’t many ingredients and you need the consistency of the granular to make it work. So truvia or Splenda may be an option if you don’t gave granular swerve.
Oh I undertand that part but you list 5 drops of liquid stevia also. I don’t have that but I do have a liquid splenda type sweetener
Sorry to be a pain!
I’m not sure because the stevia is to offset the cooling effect the swerve may have. You could try the Splenda. Or a powdered stevia. Hope that helps.
Can Ii use creamy peanut butter, not a fan of crunchy
you can use either
These look amazing! Can you use smooth peanut butter instead of crunchy?
you can use either.:)
How many servings does your recipe yield? I’m new to keto and dying for a sweet fix. But I want to make sure I don’t go over my macros!
It makes at least 16 slices. It’s a large cheesecake! 🙂
