Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, golden flaxseed meal, erythritol sweetener, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure even distribution of the ingredients.
Add the natural peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix with a rubber spatula or hand mixer until well combined and a dough forms. If using, fold in chopped pecans gently into the dough.
Using a tablespoon or a cookie scoop, scoop the dough and roll it into balls. Place the dough balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches apart between each one.
Flatten each dough ball slightly with the back of a fork, creating a crisscross pattern on top of the cookies.
Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10 to 12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Keep an eye on them in the last few minutes to prevent over-baking.
Remove from the oven and let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these Keto Peanut Butter 'Oatmeal' Cookies as a snack or dessert, and store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
