Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 350 °F.
In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, eggs, sweetener, vanilla, salt and molasses (if using).
Add the baking soda, baking powder and xanthan gum and mix until thoroughly combined.
Fold in the chocolate chips and chopped peanuts (if using).
Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Top with additional chocolate chips.
Bake for 10 minutes, then place on a cooling rack to cool down.

Notes

Sweeteners

Personally, I often use a combination of 50% monkfruit/erythritol blend sweetener or Swerve Brown and 50% stevia powder. Too much erythritol (that is an ingredient in Swerve Brown and most monkfruit sweeteners) causes digestive upset for me. Another good option is allulose, which tends to be more 'digestive friendly' than erythritol for many folks.
