Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars
Our Keto breakfast bars are made from a base of creamy organic peanut butter, sliced almonds, unsweetened coconut flakes, and chocolate chips. The mixture is blended with egg whites to hold it all together and add healthy protein to the bars. The bars are slightly sweetened with a monk fruit blend. The mixture is pressed hard into a cake pan to compact the ingredients together. Since there is no gluten or sugar in this recipe, this step is essential. Once baked to golden brown perfection, the bars are cut into sections that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month. Our breakfast bars make for a great grab-and-go snack for busy mornings. They are a must for peanut butter and chocolate lovers!
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, monk fruit sweetener blend, and no-sugar-added creamy peanut butter (we like to use organic). Be sure to use finely shredded coconut flakes for this recipe, as they compact together better.
Step 2
Add in the stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, egg whites, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Mix well to combine. Pour into an 8″ x 8″ cake pan. You can line the cake pan with parchment paper that hangs over the sides of the cake pan for easy removal after baking and chilling.
Step 3
Cover the top of the mixture in the pan with parchment paper. Use your palms to press as hard as possible to compact the ingredients together. This will help the bars hold together after baking.
Step 4
Make sure the mixture is pressed evenly on all sides of the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bars are golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven to allow cooling.
Step 5
Allow the bars to cool completely. Then place them in the fridge to firm before cutting. Cut them into 8 bars.
Step 6
Remove them gently using a metal spatula to separate them. Place any remaining bars in the refrigerator. Enjoy!
