Report
These deeply dark and flavorful peanut butter bars are keto and low carb. An easy no-bake recipe, these gluten-free bars are made without graham crackers.

Ingredients
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted and slightly cooled; 4 ounces
- ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite heaping, to equal ¼ cup of sugar
- ½ cup natural creamy peanut butter unsweetened, room temperature
- 1 cup superfine almond flour 4 ounces
Topping:
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips 3.5 ounces
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- Line a square 8-inch baking dish with wax paper so that you have an overhanging on both sides. This will allow for easy removal later on.
Make the bottom layer:
- Melt the butter in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Allow it to slightly cool.
- Mix in the stevia, peanut butter, and almond flour. Start mixing with a rubber spatula, then use a hand whisk to mix thoroughly until completely smooth and no almond flour lumps remain.
- Use the spatula to transfer the mixture to the prepared pan and to spread the mixture evenly. Freeze for 15 minutes.
Make the top layer:
- Place the chocolate chips and the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second sessions, stirring after each session, until almost fully melted. Stir the mixture with a rubber spatula until fully melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top of the peanut butter layer, using the spatula to scrape it off the bowl and spread it evenly. Work gently so the chocolate layer stays on top of the peanut butter layer.
- Cover the pan with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until set and firm, about 4 hours.
- Carefully lift the wax paper and place it on top of a cutting board. Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut into 16 squares.
Notes
- Dry measurements (i.e., almond flour) are different than liquid (i.e., butter, peanut butter). That's why 4 ounces of the superfine almond flour I use equal 1 cup, but 4 ounces of butter or peanut butter equal ½ cup.
- Instead of peanut butter, you can make this recipe with natural almond butter. If you do, I recommend adding half a teaspoon of almond extract to the bottom layer to enhance the almond flavor.
- It's best to use a freshly opened jar of peanut butter since the bottom of these jars is often a bit too dry, even if you stir the peanut butter well when you open them.
- You can keep the leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container, separated by layers of wax paper, for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to three months.
