The bar has one main layer that is thick and dense, made up of a mix of chopped nuts and chocolate, giving it a textured look with visible nut pieces in light beige and brown colors. The top is covered with a slightly glossy chocolate layer that has small lumps and bits, adding an uneven surface.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups unsweetened chocolate
  • 1 cup almond butter (can substitute any nut or seed butter)
  • 1/2 cup keto maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (optional)
  • 3 cups nuts and seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Line an 8 x 8-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stovetop, combine the unsweetened chocolate, almond butter, keto maple syrup, and optional coconut oil. Melt and stir until fully combined.
  3. Step 3: Add your choice of nuts and seeds, then mix thoroughly to distribute evenly.
  4. Step 4: Pour the chocolate mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Refrigerate or freeze until firm.
  5. Step 5: Once set, remove from the dish and cut into bars. Enjoy!

Tips & Variations

  • For extra crunch, toast the nuts and seeds lightly before adding them.
  • Try using different nut butters like cashew or sunflower seed butter to change the flavor.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bar, add a bit more keto-friendly sweetener, but adjust carefully to maintain keto balance.
  • The coconut oil helps create a smoother texture but can be left out if you prefer a thicker bar.

Storage

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage. When ready to eat, allow frozen bars to thaw slightly at room temperature for easier slicing and a better texture.
