Keto Mini Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheesecakes are for those who revel in tasty bites of peanut butter and chocolate together in luscious cheesecake. These are Gluten-free and Keto, Low-carb yumminess!
Everyone loves peanut butter and chocolate together right? You know I'm a sucker for it! My ears totally perk up when I hear the word 'cheesecake'. It's one of the best desserts on the planet!
These minis are easy to throw together and quite delicious minus sugar. Ok...well it has powdered sugar, but it's healthy powdered sugar that I tell everyone about! Because cheesecake would taste like crap if it didn't have some sort of sweetener in it. Ewww!
Lakanto is the closest thing to sugar that I've found, and it measures 1 to 1 when you're using it in other recipes you want to make low-carb or sugar-free
I've talked about it before how much I love this sugar and if you're bamboozled what to try and what tastes good, this is a great option and you can also use my discount code: thebakingchocolatess15 to get 15% off! Also, great for gifting for your fabulous keto and diabetic friends with Christmas around the corner...like literally around the corner!

These sweet treats are perfect for making and keeping in the fridge to snack on when you get that sweet attack any time of the day and they're great when entertaining, especially because they're already individual servings. This recipe makes 9 cheesecakes, using a muffin tin.
These are Gluten-free & Keto approved! Add some sugar-free peanut butter cups for an extra decadent surprise to your cheesecakes! YUM!
P.S...If you're not into Keto, you can substitute powdered sugar for the sugar-free powdered sugar for sure!

I'd probably use an 8" or 9" pan Kristi.
If I wanted to make these in a pan and not as a cupcake what size pan could I use?
