Description
Rich and chewy low-carb magic bars packed with nuts, coconut, and a creamy peanut butter drizzle—perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying keto-friendly.
Ingredients
1 cup almond flour
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup powdered erythritol
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
1/4 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
1/4 cup natural peanut butter (no sugar added)
1 tablespoon heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, mix almond flour, melted butter, and powdered erythritol until the mixture is crumbly but holds together when pressed.
- Press the almond flour mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Sprinkle the shredded coconut evenly over the crust, then add the chopped nuts and sugar-free chocolate chips.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, warm the peanut butter and heavy cream for 20-30 seconds, then stir until smooth and pourable.
- Drizzle the peanut butter mixture evenly over the baked bars.
- Refrigerate the bars for at least 1 hour to set before cutting into squares.
Notes
Variations: swap nuts for almonds or hazelnuts; use almond butter with heavy cream for drizzle; add cinnamon or vanilla to crust; add extra chocolate chips for more chocolatey bars; make nut-free by using extra coconut flakes or pumpkin seeds.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Best eaten cold or slightly softened at room temperature. Not ideal for freezing but can freeze individual portions for up to 2 weeks.
Sweetener substitutions: powdered monk fruit sweetener works well.
Chocolate alternatives: chopped dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher) can be used.
Vegan option: replace butter with coconut oil and heavy cream with plant-based cream alternative.
Ensure crust holds together by pressing mixture firmly into pan.
Suitable for paleo with paleo-friendly sweeteners (note carb changes).
