I’ve always loved making bar cookies because they are easy! And I’ve 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 comes from a basic flourless peanut butter cookie recipe I’ve used for a long time. And I used to make it with real sugar! Now I use Swerve for all of my sweets baking. I really didn’t enjoy low carb baking until I found Swerve. I never could get the right sweetness and a lot of the other options were still higher in carbs. There’s a learning curve getting the right sweetness with Swerve. And sometimes there’s a cool taste that some people complain of. I’ve found that adding a little bit of stevia balances that out. This is not a paid advertisment for Swerve, I just really like it! This recipe combines two of my favorite things.. chocolate and peanut butter!
Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy natural peanut butter
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup granular Swerve (erythritol)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 5 drops (1ml) liquid stevia or 1 packet powedered
- 1/2 cup sugar free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven 375 degreeAdd all ingredients to a bowl and stir until throughtly combined. You don't need a mixer, I use a wooden spoon. Spread mixture in a greased 8x8 pan. Bake 12-14 minutes or until slightly brown on top. Watch closely and be careful not to overcook because they will harden as they cool.

Love your blog!
Thank you!:)
Can’t wait to try these tomorrow!!!
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! 🙂
