Delicious No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars

Keto No-Bake Peanut Butter Bars 

Want to enjoy peanut butter and chocolate? Here's an awesome recipe that will leave your sweet tooth completely satisfied without compromising your health and wellness. It's a keto friendly recipe and a great alternative to store bough packaged snacks, candies, or treats.

From my experience, recipes always get better the more you make them. There’s also a few different options so choose the ingredients you have or want to use. There are two parts to this recipe.  First making the crust and then making the chocolate topping.

First make the no bake peanut butter bar crust. 

In a mixing bowl add: 

1. 1 1/2 cups of organic almond flour  or 1 cup organic coconut flour (we prefer coconut flour) 
2. 1/4 -1/2 cup organic peanut butter
3. 2 Tbsp. of organic vanilla extract
4. Sprinkle in a little organic monk fruit (preferred). Here are some other keto friendly options: Add a few drops of monk fruit or 1/4 cup monk fruit or I’ve also seen recipes using pure maple syrup.
5. Melt down 1/4 cup of coconut oil slowly on the stove then pour in to the crust combination. Use more or less depending on the consistency and type of sweetener that is used. Feel free to use organic grass-fed/pasture raised butter or coca butter or a combination of the three. 
6. Stir all ingredients together then press it down on an 8x8 pan
7. Optional: Add banana slices on top of the crust. We have done this a few times and its delicious. Then set aside in freezer to cool and harden. 

Next, make the chocolate topping:

1. Melt down a couple spoonful's of coconut oil or cocoa butter (either one you have or desire to use)
2. Sprinkle in cacao powder or melt down cacao chips, we often use both.
3. Add a spoonful or two of peanut butter 
4. We melt on stove or you could use double broiler, remember to keep on low heat and stir continuously so it doesn’t burn.
5. Take out the crust from the freezer and pour the melted chocolate peanut butter over the crust
6. Set in freezer for about 30-45 minutes but the longer it's in there the better.
7. Once chocolate is solid we then stored in fridge

This recipe is such an easy and delicious way to skip or replace the refined sugar. Some of our desserts or treats may seem a little bitter but as you remove sugar and ultra processed ingredients, you begin to appreciate the taste of real food.
