No-Bake Keto Granola Bars! So Easy & Crunchy!
Keto Granola Bars: whip up these quick, no-bake, and satisfying snacks. Packed with nuts and seeds, they're perfect for a healthy on-the-go treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 3/4 cup flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/2 cup unflavored whey protein powder
- 1/3 cup Swerve Confectioners
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 3 tbsp keto honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Line a 9x9 inch metal baking pan with parchment or waxed paper.
- In a food processor, combine the flaked coconut, sliced almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds. Pulse until they resemble oat flakes with a few larger pieces.
- Transfer to a bowl and add the protein powder, sweetener, and salt. Stir until well combined.
- Add the peanut butter, honey, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture begins to hold together. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, as necessary, to help the dough cling together. It should feel like thick cookie dough.
- Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared 9x9 metal baking pan. Chill 2 to 3 hours until firm, and then cut into bars or squares with a sharp knife.
Notes
- For extra flavor, lightly toast the nuts and seeds before processing, allowing them to cool completely first. This adds a deeper, nuttier profile. - If your mixture feels too crumbly after adding the wet ingredients, add a teaspoon of water at a time until it resembles a thick cookie dough. Avoid adding too much or the bars will be soft. - Storage is key: keep these bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for up to 2 months. Thaw frozen bars at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before enjoying.
