Ingredients
To get started, gather the following ingredients:

- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or your favorite low-carb sweetener)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol (for filling)
- 1/4 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter (for filling)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (for filling)
Instructions
Now that you have all your ingredients, it’s time to get baking! Follow these simple steps to create your Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and erythritol until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, combine the creamy peanut butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until a dough forms.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are set. Let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the cookies cool, prepare the filling. In a bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, creamy peanut butter, powdered erythritol, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Once the cookies are completely cool, spread a generous layer of the filling on the flat side of one cookie and top it with another cookie, creating a sandwich.
- Repeat until all cookies are filled. Enjoy your delightful Peanut Butter Whoopie Pies!
