Oof, it’s been a while since I’ve written a recipe! My apologies guys – I’ve been doing a lot of work on the next cookbook. It should be out in a few more weeks, so keep an eye out (spoiler alert, tons of fusion recipes)!
So, the last week I made some inside out buckeye cookies (converted from a non-keto recipe) at the request of on the the members in the Ketogenic Living Facebook group. She said if I could make them, she’d love me forever, so here’s me ode to getting loved forever.
These things are really…freaking…good. No kidding, They just melt in your mouth. Now, I do realize that they’re a bit carb heavy, but 2 of them should fill you up for a snack or a dessert. They’re high in fats, and they’ve only got a bit of protein so they’re almost the perfect keto snack. Chocolate, peanut butter, vanilla come together for a luscious and decadent taste that you won’t want to give up!
Yields 20 Buckeye Cookies
The Preparation
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ½ cup peanut butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil

The Execution
1. In a large mixing bowl, add 1/2 Cup Peanut Butter, 1/4 Cup Coconut Oil, 3 Tbsp. Maple Syrup (recipe here), and 1 Tbsp. Vanilla Extract.
2. In a seperate bowl, add 2 1/2 Cups Honeyville Almond Flour, 1/4 Cup NOW Erythritol, 1 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder, and 1/2 tsp. Salt.
3. Using a hand mixer, mix together the wet ingredients.
4. Sift the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients using a colander or sifter.
5. Mix everything together until it forms a crumbled dough.
6. Using your hands, mix together all the dough into a ball. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
7. Before getting your dough out, cut up 2 Chocoperfection (or 90%+ Dark Chocolate) bars into small chunks. You want to fit 1-2 pieces into each cookie.
8. Preheat your oven to 350F. Then, rip off small chunks of dough at a time. Press the chocolate into the dough.
9. Seal the dough with your hands until the chocolate cannot be seen.
10. Press the dough into a rounded tablespoon for consistent cookies.
11. Lay all cookies down on a silpat about 1 inch away from each other. You should get 20 cookies.
