    What happens when you combine chocolate, peanut butter and bacon together all in one recipe? Delicious madness! I don't normally take so many photos of one single recipe but I went a little low carb cookie crazy yesterday. The weather was cold, the oven was warm and my tooth was sweet. The end result was sinful. I can't wait for you to try them. Remember, sharing is caring...especially when it comes to low carb cookies that contain bacon.

    A few notes about this Chewy Chocolate Peanut Butter Bacon Cookie Recipe:

    There are several substitutions you can make for these low carb keto cookies. In place of the chunky peanut butter, you can use a thick almond butter and add a handful of your favorite nuts. If you can't find a thicker almond butter, put the jar in the fridge overnight to harden before using. In place of the Swerve, you can use any low carb natural sweetener that you want. Coconut sugar is a good paleo sweetener option but will increase the overall carb count.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    • 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled
    • 1 cup chunky peanut butter (reduced sugar, natural)
    • 1 cup granular monkfruit sweetener (I use this brand) code PEACE for 20% off
    • 1 large egg
    • ½ cup unsweetened organic cocoa powder (get it here)
    • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 1 tsp baking soda


    Instructions

    1. Cook bacon until crispy, crumble and set aside.
    2. Preheat oven to 350°
    3. In a large mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, sweetener and egg. Mix until all ingredients are combined. I put on a pair of gloves and did this part by hand. The peanut butter was thick and it just made it easier.
    4. To the mixture, add cocoa powder, vanilla extract and baking soda. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
    5. Mix in bacon crumbles.
    6. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.
    7. Form dough into 12 equal sized balls, place on liner and flatten just a bit.
    8. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and place baking sheet on a cooling rack. If you do not let the cookies cool thoroughly, they will fall apart.

      I just made these for the first time! I did not add the bacon, as I am still losing. The only change I made was to add an extra egg. I could not get the swerve and the peanut butter to hold together. THESE ARE THE MOST AMAZING COOKIES I HAVE EVER EATEN! Thank you so much!

      I just made these tonight and holy shiitake mushrooms Batman! These were utterly FABULOUS! I'm glad I'm taking the other 11 cookies on a shopping trip with some other ladies or I would be sorely tempted to hoard and pet them, calling them my Precious 😉

      I used the same amount of truvia baking blend as swerve since I could not find swerve. The after taste was horrendous. I want to try these again. Does anyone know how to convert truvia baking blend to swerve? It can't be a 1:1 conversion cuz that's what I did and it was so overpowering u did not know there was bacon. Please help.

        If this helps...Swerve seems to be 1:1 with sugar but Truvia is a 2:1- my best guess is you'd need 1/2 as much Truvia as indicated. I usually use splenda but recently switched to Truvia and have had some similar fiascos. Halving the amount seemed to work well with this recipe for me.

          Truvia is very concentrated. 1 cup sugar or Swerve equals 7 TBSP of Truvia. 1/2 cup sugar equals 3 1/2 TBSP of Truvia. Please be careful to buy the clear square container with light green top, NOT Truvia blend for baking, which has sugar.
          Thank you for your amazing recipes!

      My kids didn't really like the bacon in these cookies. I liked how easy they were to make and the texture as well. Do you think they can be made without bacon? Would we need to add a little more fat?

        You can just omit the bacon altogether.

      I make these at least once a week. My family loves them and they make a great post-workout protein boost. Thanks so much for the posting this 🙂

      I just found your blog today. Very excited about finding these new recipes. I recently was diagnosed with diabetes and have begun doing low carb. I was reading your receipt for the chocolate bacon cookies and I can't seem to find the carb count. Is there a certain place on your blog that shows the carb counts? Thanks, Can't wait to go through your recipes.

        Hi Barb! Welcome! A majority of the recipes have the nutritional analysis at the bottom. Some of the newer ones do not have it. As you look through the recipes, you will see it on most of them.

      I love the look of your P-nut butter Bacon Cookies... but, I've looked three times and don't see a carb count per cookie. Do you have one?

        I do not have the nutritional analysis listed. It will vary by brand used. I recommend using a site like fatsecret.com or myfitnesspal.com to plug in the ingredients to get a rough nutritional estimate to see if it fits into your guidelines.

        I just made them, and using Hershey's Special Dark Cocoa and Smuckers Natural Crunchy PB, mine ended up at 2.5g net carb per cookie.

        Also - THEY ARE AMAZING.
