Keto No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars
Description
Keto No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars feature a thick dough made from almond flour, unsweetened peanut butter, melted butter, sugar-free confectioners sweetener, and sea salt. This dough forms the bottom layer, providing a nutty and slightly salty base with a dense texture. After pressing this mixture into a pan, a chocolate layer made by melting sugar-free chocolate chips with butter is poured on top. The bars are then frozen to set, allowing the chocolate to harden and create a firm yet creamy contrast to the buttery peanut layer.
The combination of peanut butter and almond flour gives these bars a rich, satisfying flavor without the use of grains or sugar. The no-bake method eliminates oven time and simplifies the preparation process, which is convenient for those seeking keto-friendly sweets. The chocolate topping adds a smooth, rich finish that balances the texture and flavor of the bars.
These bars serve well as a low-carb dessert or on-the-go snack. They can be sliced to preferred sizes and stored frozen until ready to eat, making them easy to portion and keep fresh. The recipe’s notes also suggest adapting for dairy-free diets by substituting coconut oil and adjusting salt for salted butter usage.
Ingredients
Peanut Butter Bars:
- 2 cups almond flour Super Fine
- 1 cup peanut butter unsweetened
- 1/2 cup butter melted, see note, unsalted
- 1 cup confectioners sweetener sugar-free
- ½ tsp salt sea salt
Chocolate Layer:
- 1 ½ cups sugar-free chocolate chips
- 2 Tbsp butter
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted butter, almond flour, sugar-free confectioners sweetener and sea salt. Stir well until completely combined. A thick dough will form.
- Line a 9” x 5” loaf pan or 8” x 8” cake pan with parchment paper. Transfer the peanut butter mixture to the parchment-lined pan, and spread into an even layer.
- Microwave the chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl for 20 second intervals, stirring well between intervals, until melted, about 40 to 60 seconds.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer and freeze for 2 hours, or until the bars are set up.
- When you’re ready to serve, remove the bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to slice desired sized bars. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute melted butter with coconut oil.
- If using salted butter, omit the added sea salt or adjust to taste.
- Non-low-carb eaters can replace the sugar-free sweetener with regular powdered sugar.
