Ingredients

Ingredient Amount
Almond flour 2 cups
Sugar-free sweetener (like erythritol or monk fruit) 3/4 cup
Baking powder 1 teaspoon
Salt 1/2 teaspoon
Coconut oil, melted 1/2 cup
Eggs 2 large
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Sugar-free chocolate chips 1 cup
Nuts (optional, chopped) 1/2 cup

Note: For those with nut allergies, you can substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour. Ensure that your chocolate chips are indeed sugar-free, as some brands may contain hidden sugars.

Steps / Instructions

Step Instructions
1 Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
2 In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
3 Add melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Stir until fully combined.
4 Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.
5 Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread it evenly, smoothing the top with a spatula.
6 Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
7 Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Troubleshooting / Pro Tips

  • Ensure your coconut oil is melted but not hot, as this can cook the eggs if added too warm.
  • Let the bars cool completely before cutting to maintain their shape and texture.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add a splash of almond milk to achieve the desired consistency.
  • Store leftover bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
