As we have mentioned before, there is a lot of controversy over whether or not peanuts are really keto-friendly. Yes, they are a legume. And yes, they are considered an inflammatory food.
That being said…if you like nutter butters, you will love these keto nutter butters! We think they are better than the processed, packaged, full-of-sugar ones from the store. And definitely healthier!
