This cannabis infused keto peanut butter cookies recipe uses infused coconut oil with keto-friendly flours and sweeteners for a low-carb baked treat that fits your macros. Keto baking and cannabis are a perfect pairing because the high-fat ketogenic diet naturally incorporates the fats that carry THC. Enjoy your edible without breaking ketosis. Three-ingredient keto cannabis cookies use peanut butter, egg, and sweetener with infused coconut oil for a grain-free edible.
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (sugar-free)
- 1/2 cup powdered erythritol or low-carb sweetener of choice
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp infused coconut oil melted
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the natural peanut butter, powdered erythritol, egg, vanilla extract, cannabis-infused coconut oil, and salt.
- Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them into balls.
- Place the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheet and flatten them with a fork, making a crisscross pattern.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the cookies are golden around the edges.
- Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious cannabis-infused keto peanut butter cookies!
Dosing Tips for Your Infused Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
- Keto diets increase fat absorption, which may make edibles feel slightly stronger. Start with a lower dose of 5 mg per serving.
- The high fat content of keto baked goods distributes THC very evenly, making dosing consistent across portions.
- Use almond or coconut flour recipes where infused coconut oil makes up a large proportion of the fat content for accurate calculations.
- Weigh portions on a kitchen scale since keto baked goods can be dense and small differences in size mean larger differences in dose.
- Scoop dough with a tablespoon measure and flatten with a fork for uniform cookies with consistent dosing.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Keto baked goods burn faster than regular ones because nut flours have more fat and less moisture. Watch the oven carefully at 350F.
- Over-substituting cannabis fat for the total fat changes the ratio of wet to dry ingredients and can cause dense, greasy results.
- Not adjusting for the laxative effect that high MCT oil (common in keto) combined with cannabis can have on some people.
- Using sugar-free chocolate chips that bloat or melt differently, altering the texture and fat distribution.
How to Store Infused Keto Peanut Butter Cookies
- Keto cannabis baked goods keep refrigerated for up to a week due to their high fat and low moisture content.
- Freeze in individual portions for up to 2 months. The high fat content protects against freezer burn.
- Store in airtight containers to prevent the nut flours from absorbing fridge odors.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3 days or refrigerate for up to one week.
Variations & Ideas
- Use cannabis-infused MCT oil for a flavorless fat that blends into any keto recipe and may enhance absorption.
- Add collagen peptides to cannabis keto muffins for a protein boost without affecting the carb count.
- Replace erythritol with monk fruit sweetener for a cleaner sweet taste alongside the cannabis flavor.
- Use almond butter instead of peanut butter and press a sugar-free chocolate chip into each cookie before baking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Some people report that edibles feel slightly stronger during ketosis because the body is efficiently processing fats. The higher fat intake also means better THC absorption. Start with a lower dose than normal until you know how your body responds in ketosis.
Cannabis itself has zero carbs. As long as your edible recipe uses keto-compliant ingredients like almond flour, erythritol, and high-fat dairy, your macros will be fine. Check the net carbs of your full recipe and divide by servings.
Almond flour is the most versatile and produces results closest to traditional baking. Coconut flour is very absorbent and needs more eggs and fat. A blend of both often gives the best texture. Both work well with cannabis fat.
Absolutely. Fat bombs are one of the best keto vehicles for cannabis because they are small, precisely portioned, and already high in fat. Mix cannabis MCT oil with cocoa butter, nut butter, and keto sweetener, then pour into molds for exact dosing.
Keto doughs with too much fat and not enough binding agents spread excessively. Add an extra egg or a tablespoon of psyllium husk powder to improve structure. Chilling the dough for 30 minutes before baking also helps the cookies hold their shape.
