Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 cups almond flour
1/2 cup Swerve Sweetener
2 tbsp coconut flour
1/4 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter (melted)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 recipe sugar-free caramel sauce
1/4 tsp sea salt ((more if desired))

Method

Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper. Allow some of the parchment to overhang the sides for easy removal.
In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla until the dough begins to clump together.
Press a little over half of the dough into the prepared baking pan and bake 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool 10 minutes.
Pour the caramel sauce over the crust and spread to the edges. Sprinkle with the sea salt (add more if you like). Then take the remaining crust and crumble it over the filling, pressing lightly to adhere.
Bake another 20 to 25 minutes, until the filling is bubbly and the topping is golden brown. Remove and let cool completely, then lift the bars out by the parchment overhang and cut into bars.

Notes

– Don’t overmix the crust dough; mix just until it clumps together to ensure a tender, not tough, base.
– Ensure your caramel sauce is truly sugar-free and keto-friendly. I once used a store-bought ‘sugar-free’ caramel that still had maltitol, which caused a blood sugar spike. Always check labels.
– For a clean cut, chill the keto caramel bars completely in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing. This prevents the caramel from sticking to your knife.
