Crafting the Perfect Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Roll-Ups
These specific chocolate chip peanut butter roll-ups draw inspiration from another beloved keto creation: our Keto Air Fryer Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites. While both recipes celebrate the classic chocolate-peanut butter pairing and the magic of the air fryer, this rendition offers a distinct advantage in convenience and presentation. Instead of preparing larger tortillas and cutting them into tiny squares, we opt for “street taco” sized tortillas. These smaller tortillas are perfectly portioned for individual roll-ups, making assembly quicker and serving effortless.
Of course, for those who prefer more bite-sized portions or wish to entertain a crowd, larger low-carb tortillas can certainly be used. Simply fill, roll, cook, and then slice them into smaller segments before serving. The key to both methods is the air fryer, which transforms the humble tortilla into a magnificently crispy shell. This appliance is a true kitchen hero, delivering that desirable crunch without the need for excessive oil or grease. Plus, its speed means you can whip up a batch of these irresistible chocolate chip peanut butter roll-ups in mere minutes. The rich, sweet filling encased in a crunchy shell truly evokes the comfort of a chocolate peanut butter sandwich, but in a healthier, more exciting form.
For an added layer of flavor complexity, we use banana extract, which perfectly complements the peanut butter and chocolate. However, if you’re open to a few extra carbs and prefer a natural banana flavor, you can substitute the extract with a small amount of mashed banana. Just remember to adjust your macro count accordingly!
Peanut Butter & Beyond: Customizing Your Low-Carb Roll-Ups
The star of our filling is natural, creamy peanut butter, chosen for its smooth texture and rich flavor that blends seamlessly with the other ingredients. However, the beauty of this recipe lies in its adaptability. If you enjoy a delightful textural contrast, feel free to swap creamy peanut butter for its crunchy counterpart. The small bits of peanuts will add an extra layer of “crisp” that complements the tortilla beautifully, enhancing the overall sensory experience of these low-carb treats.
For those with peanut sensitivities, allergies, or simply a preference for other flavors, this recipe is incredibly forgiving. You can easily substitute peanut butter with your favorite nut or seed butter. Almond butter offers a slightly milder, buttery flavor, while sunflower seed butter (my personal favorite for its unique taste and creamy texture) provides a distinct, subtly sweet profile. Both are excellent low-carb alternatives that spread easily and blend wonderfully into the filling, ensuring everyone can enjoy these crispy chocolate chip roll-ups. Experiment with different options to discover your ideal flavor combination!
The Essential Chilling Step: Key to Crispy Perfection
While this recipe is quick and easy, there’s one crucial step that requires a bit of patience but is absolutely worth the wait: chilling the roll-ups in the freezer before air frying. This isn’t just a suggestion; it’s a vital part of achieving that perfectly crispy texture and preventing the filling from oozing out during cooking. Allowing the assembled roll-ups to chill in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes works wonders. The waiting might feel like the hardest part, especially when the delicious aroma of the filling is already tempting you!
The science behind this step is simple yet effective. Chilling allows the creamy peanut butter and cream cheese filling to solidify. A firm filling not only stays neatly tucked inside the tortilla but also helps the tortilla achieve an exceptionally crispy exterior when exposed to the hot circulating air of the air fryer. Without this step, the filling might become too soft and runny, leading to a less satisfying texture and potential mess. If your schedule requires you to chill them for longer than 30 minutes, simply cover the roll-ups loosely with aluminum foil. This prevents them from drying out or absorbing any freezer odors, ensuring they emerge fresh and delicious when it’s time to cook. Trust the process – this brief chill is the secret to ultimate crispy, gooey perfection!

Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 8-10 minutes
Servings: 6 roll-ups
Net Carbs: 4 net carbs per serving
Ingredients:
- 6 Zero Carb Street Taco sized tortillas
- 6 ounces Cream Cheese, softened
- 1/3 cup Natural Peanut Butter
- 1/3 cup Keto Chocolate Chips
- 2 tbsp Swerve Confectioner’s Sugar Substitute
- 1/2 tsp Banana Extract (can substitute with one mashed banana for a few extra carbs)
Instructions:
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, natural peanut butter, Swerve confectioner’s sugar substitute, and banana extract. Blend these ingredients together using an electric mixer or spoon until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps.
2. Gently fold in the keto chocolate chips using a spatula. Make sure they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy filling.
3. Take one zero carb street taco sized tortilla and place a generous layer of the peanut butter and chocolate chip filling down the center. Be careful not to overfill, leaving a small margin at the edges. Carefully roll the tortilla closed, ensuring the filling is securely encased. Repeat with the remaining tortillas.
4. Arrange the filled roll-ups on a baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch each other. Place the baking sheet in the freezer and chill for a minimum of 30 minutes. This crucial step helps the filling solidify and ensures the tortillas become extra crispy during cooking.
5. Once chilled, preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Carefully transfer the roll-ups to the basket of the air fryer, ensuring they are in a single layer and not overcrowded. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the tortillas are golden brown and wonderfully crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on your air fryer model.
