Ingredients

DRY INGREDIENTS

Almond flour = 180 g / 1 1/2 cups

Coconut flour = 45 g / 1/3 cup

Other flour options

1. Solely almond flour = 360 g / 3 cups

2. Solely coconut flour = 90 g / 3/4 cup

Baking powder = 8 g / 2 tsp

Baking soda = 1/2 tsp

Salt = 1/2 tsp

Monk fruit = 30 g / 2 1/3 tbsp (This amount is reduced significantly in order to balance with the sweetness level from the frosting. If you are not doing the frosting, then you need to increase the sweetener to about 70 to 100g. You can also use any keto friendly sweetener.)

WET INGREDIENTS

Whole eggs = 4 large (230 g)

Unsweetened Greek yogurt = 300 g / 1 1/4 cups (You can also use whipping / coconut / sour cream)

Coconut oil = 60 ml / 1/4 cup (You can also use any keto friendly oil)

Unsweetened Creamy or Chunky Peanut Butter = 200 g / 3/4 cup (In the video, I used unsweetened dark roasted chunky peanut butter)

INGREDIENTS FOR FROSTING

Softened unsalted butter = 113 g / 1/2 cup

Unsweetened creamy peanut butter = 150 g / 3/4 cup

Allulose powdered sweetener = 100 g / 3/4 cup (Allulose will not taste grainy when chilled. But if you don't have it, you can also use any other keto friendly powdered sweetener except that they will taste grainy when chilled)

Salt = 1/2 to 3/4 tsp

Vanilla extract = 1 tsp
