No Bake Nutella Bars (Keto)
Description
No Bake Nutella Bars (Keto) centers on a combination of hazelnut spread (such as sugar-free Nutella), blanched hazelnuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and melted dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa solids. The nuts are pulsed to retain some texture rather than fully ground, contributing crunch and body to the bars. Mixing in the hazelnut spread and melted chocolate creates a sticky mixture that holds the bars together after chilling. The bars are formed in a lined tray and pressed to about 2 centimeters thickness, then refrigerated until firm enough to cut into 16 bars.
The texture balances creamy nut spread and crunchy nuts and seeds, with the dark chocolate adding richness and depth. These bars do not require baking and are set by refrigeration, which makes preparation easy and fast while maintaining a chewy, satisfying bite without added sugar. The use of high cocoa content chocolate keeps sugar content low to maintain keto compliance.
These bars are suitable as a grab-and-go snack or light dessert for those reducing carbohydrates. They keep well refrigerated and can be a handy option when a sweet, nutty treat is desired without cooking. This recipe provides a convenient way to make homemade keto bars using common pantry ingredients.
Ingredients
- 1 cup hazelnut spread 250g, room temperature (make 1 batch, sugar free nutella
- 1 cup hazelnut 140g, blanched
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds 32g
- ¼ cup sunflower seeds 35g
- 1.75 oz dark chocolate 50g, melted, or ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pulse the hazelnuts in a food processor until you have a mixture of larger and smaller pieces.
- Break the chocolate into squares. Melt it in the microwave in 30 second intervals - around 90 seconds in total. Stop once the chocolate is half-melted, then stir until it has melted fully.
- Add the pumpkin and sunflower seeds, the nutella and the melted chocolate into the food processor and blend to combine. The mixture will be sticky and firm.
- Spread the mixture into a parchment paper lined tray. I formed it into a rectangle and pressed it down until it was 2 centimetres thick.
- Cover with cling film and refrigerate about 30 minutes or until set.
- Cut into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- The bars yield about 16 servings at approximately 5 grams net carbs each, suitable for low-carb diets.
- Use dark chocolate with at least 85% cocoa solids for lower sugar content; sugar-free chocolate options can also be used.
- Store the bars refrigerated to keep them firm and fresh.
