Sugar-Free Keto Low-Carb Granola Bars Recipe
Description
This Sugar-Free Keto Low-Carb Granola Bars recipe starts by toasting chopped almonds, slivered almonds, and coconut flakes separately to develop their natural nuttiness. After cooling, the nuts and coconut are mixed with beaten egg and monk fruit sweetener, which acts as a sugar substitute. Almond butter and coconut oil melted together are incorporated to bind the mixture and add richness.
The ingredients are combined thoroughly, then chocolate chips sweetened with stevia can be folded in for contrast. The mix is pressed firmly into a parchment-lined pan to help the bars hold together during baking. Baking at a moderate temperature allows the mixture to set without overbrowning and maintains a chewy texture.
The finished bars provide a crunchy, nut-forward snack option appropriate for those avoiding sugar and carbohydrates. They can be portioned as desired for on-the-go energy. Following the toasting and packing steps carefully ensures bars hold their shape and deliver texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond chopped, raw
- 1 cup almonds slivered
- 1 cup coconut flakes tightly packed (65g, unsweetened
- 1 egg large
- 4 tablespoons Monk Fruit Sweetener
- 2 tablespoons almond butter
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 3/4 teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips or dairy-free, stevia-sweetened
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving some hanging over the sides.
- Place the chopped almonds, slivered almonds, and coconut flakes on 3 separate small baking sheets. Bake until golden brown and toasted. The coconut will only take 2-4 minutes, the slivered almonds about 3-5 minutes, and the chopped almonds about 7-12 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Reduce the oven temperature to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and monk fruit.
- In a separate small, microwave-safe bowl, melt the almond butter and coconut oil until smooth, about 30 seconds. Whisk into the egg mixture until well combined.
- Add in all the nuts, coconut, and salt, and stir until well combined. Finally, stir in the chocolate chips.
- Press very firmly into the prepared pan. Put some muscle into! You need to pack these in so they hold together.
- Bake until the top just feels set, about 15 minutes. Place the pan on a wire rack and allow to cool completely.
- Once cool, slice and DEVOUR!
