Ingredients You’ll Need
To make these deliciously crunchy keto bars, you’ll need:
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut – Adds texture and healthy fats
- 1/2 cup almond flour – Keeps it low-carb and gluten-free
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder (unsweetened) – Deep chocolate flavor without the sugar
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol – A keto-approved sweetener
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted) – Binds the crust and boosts healthy fat content
- 1 tsp vanilla extract – Enhances flavor
- 1/4 tsp salt – Balances sweetness
- 4 oz sugar-free dark chocolate (70% cocoa or higher) – Creates a rich chocolate topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, and salt. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.
2. Add Wet Ingredients
Pour in the melted coconut oil and vanilla extract. Mix until the ingredients form a thick, dough-like mixture.
3. Press Into Pan
Line an 8×8 inch (20×20 cm) pan with parchment paper. Press the mixture evenly into the bottom to form a firm base.
4. Melt the Chocolate
Melt the sugar-free dark chocolate using a microwave (30-second intervals) or a double boiler. Stir until smooth.
5. Add Chocolate Layer
Pour the melted chocolate over the base and spread evenly using a spatula.
6. Chill Until Set
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.
7. Slice & Serve
Once chilled, remove the bars from the pan and slice into 12 even squares. Enjoy right away or store for later!
