Some days I have time to sit and linger over breakfast, and some days are more hurried. For those days where I haven't got a moment to spare, these Sugar Free Granola Bars are perfect.
I've tried numerous keto-friendly bars, and not of them compare to the taste of these. Made with wholesome ingredients, you are going to want to keep this recipe in your arsenal.
– 1 cup raw pecans chopped – 1 cup raw macadamia nuts chopped – ⅓ cup raw pumpkin seeds – 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut – ¼ cup ground flax seeds – ¼ cup hemp seeds not hulled – ½ cup almond butter or peanut butter – ⅓ cup maple syrup substitute – ¼ cup coconut oil – ¼ cup brown sugar substitute – ½ teaspoon cinnamon – 1 egg
Meanwhile in a small sauce pan, heat almond butter, maple syrup substitute, coconut oil, brown sugar substitute and cinnamon until the coconut oil is melted. Stir to combine everything.
Beat the egg in a small bowl, and pour over the nut mixture. Mix in the almond butter mixture and coat to combine. Transfer to the prepared baking pan, and use parchment paper to press down. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until golden brown.
