Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Erythritol or preferred keto-friendly sweetener
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)
- 0.25 cup Chopped nuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a medium-sized saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil until it's fully liquid. Remove from heat.
Add the erythritol (or your preferred sweetener) to the melted coconut oil and stir until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
Mix in the vanilla extract and salt.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, almond flour, and optional chopped nuts. Stir until well mixed.
Pour the coconut oil mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well coated and evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon, ensuring an even layer.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown.
Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle the sugar-free dark chocolate chips on top. Let them melt for a few minutes, then gently spread the chocolate evenly over the bars with a spatula.
Allow the bars to cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, then transfer to the refrigerator to set completely, approximately 1-2 hours.
Once chilled and set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Cut into 16 squares and serve.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
