These are EVERYTHING.
I mean if you are a chocolate peanut butter lover (who isn't? ..um people who are allergic, Sam)
Then you will absolutely, positively, LOVE THESE KETO CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BARS. They are soft, chewy, creamy.. and most importantly, EASY TO MAKE!
Peanut Butter Layer
- 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp(90g) almond flour
- 3 tbsp powdered monkfruit/erythritol blend * (You can add more to taste if you'd like, I tend to prefer things not overly sweet)
- pinch of salt
- 1/2 cup(120g) crunchy or smooth natural peanut butter (I like crunchy because it adds something to the recipe!)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
-
*You can use a sweetener that isn't the monkfruit/erythritol blend. *You can also use a sweetener that isn't powdered. This is just my favourite for no-bake recipes as it tastes SO close to real sugar and it being powdered means no weird crunchiness in no baked products as is an issue with regular granulated sweeteners.
Chocolate Layer:
- ~1/3 cup(85g) stevia sweetened chocolate-chips (I use the Krisda brand)
- 1/2 tbsp coconut oil
Directions:
- In a bowl, add your almond flour, sweetener and salt.
- Add the peanut butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract.
- Stir well until a thick dough forms.
- Press dough into the bottom of a
greased loaf pan(PARCHMENT PAPER LINED AND GREASED loaf pan, I didn't have any but they are much easier to remove if you use parchment) evenly using clean hands or a spatula. - Place the pan in the freezer for roughly 10min before topping.
- Melt your chocolate-chips and coconut oil by microwaving and stirring between 30s increments.
- Using a spatula, scrape out the chocolate on top of the peanut base.
- Pick up the pan and rotate it around to evenly coat the base with chocolate, finally tap it on the counter a couple times to make sure everything is flat.
- Freeze for another 2 hours before attempting to remove.
- Pull the parchment paper out of the pan and cut squares using a sharp knife dipped in hot water.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge or freezer in an airtight container between parchment paper layers for a future snack! Enjoy your Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter No-Bake Bars!
