Keto Granola Bars (Crunchy, Easy)
These Keto Granola Bars combine mixed nuts, seeds, almond butter, and chocolate chips into a crunchy, compact snack low in net carbs. Using a whisked egg white binds the ingredients while baking crisps the bars to golden perfection. The mixture of textures from chopped nuts and seeds, combined with dark chocolate, creates a satisfying chew and crunch great for grab-and-go snacking.
Ingredients
- 2 cups / 250g nuts I used 1 cup almonds, 1 cup walnuts and pecans, mixed, chopped
- ¼ cup / 30g pumpkin seeds
- ¼ cup / 30g sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup / 30g Flaxseed ground
- 2 tablespoon almond butter
- 1 egg whisked, white
- 2 tbsp granulated sweetener
- ⅓ cup chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate, minimum 85% cocoa solids, sugar free
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C - 350 F electric. Line a 6x9 inch baking tray with parchment paper.
- Pulse the nuts and seeds in a food processor until you have some smaller and some larger pieces.
- Mix all dry ingredients in a bowl, leaving a few chocolate chips to decorate on top. Then add the whisked egg white, vanilla extract and almond butter and stir until combined. Check and adjust sweetener if necessary.
- Pour the granola bar mix into the tray and press down well to compact the dough. Press the remaining chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for circa 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.
Notes
- The recipe yields 12 bars, each around 30-35 grams with about 2.7 grams net carbs using 90% cocoa chocolate.
- Try variations by adding cinnamon or substituting chocolate chips with dried cranberries or freeze-dried raspberries.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days, in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
- Measuring nuts by volume is consistent whether whole or chopped.
