How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8″x8″ (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper so that the paper hangs off of the sides a bit. This will give you some leverage when pulling the bars out of the pan later on. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds, cinnamon, unsweetened coconut flakes, and monk fruit powder. Stir well to combine.
Step 2
Add almond butter, melted coconut oil, large egg whites, and salt to the same bowl. Mix thoroughly. The mixture will be thick with a thin coating of the liquid ingredients around the nuts and coconut flakes. Be sure to use finely shredded coconut flakes for this recipe so they compact together.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into an 8″x8″ (20×20 cm) baking pan. Press the mixture down firmly with a spatula. Place a small piece of parchment paper on top, and use your hand to press the mixture down firmly to compact all the ingredients together. This step is crucial to the success of this recipe!
Step 4
Bake for 20 mins or until the granola bars are lightly golden brown on top. The bars will be loose and bubbling when they are hot from the oven. Allow them to cool completely, then transfer to the fridge for an hour before cutting them into bars.
Step 5
Cut into 8 bars. Keep bars stored in the fridge until ready to eat. Enjoy! These are great for a grab-and-go breakfast paired with a protein shake or other Keto protein items.
