Main Ingredients
- 1.5 cups unsweetened chocolate rich chocolate flavor without the sugar
- 1 cup almond butter creamy texture and healthy fats; can substitute with any nut or seed butter
- 0.5 cup keto maple syrup sugar-free alternative that adds sweetness without the carbs
- 0.25 cup coconut oil adds richness and helps with texture (optional)
- 3 cups nuts and seeds a crunchy mix that adds texture and nutrition (optional)
Preparation
Begin by melting the unsweetened chocolate using a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals if microwaving, stirring until completely melted.
Remove the melted chocolate from heat and stir in the almond butter until well combined and smooth. Add coconut oil here if using.
Pour in the keto maple syrup and mix thoroughly until the mixture is glossy and smooth.
Fold in your favorite nuts and seeds if desired, mixing evenly into the chocolate mixture.
Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 9x9 inch baking pan, spreading evenly. Refrigerate for 1-2 hours until set.
Once set, remove from the pan and cut into bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh.
- Use any nut or seed butter as a substitute for almond butter to suit your taste or dietary needs.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more keto maple syrup or a non-sugar sweetener before setting.
- Store bars in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage, separating layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
