Cookie Bars

Chewy, gooey, and packed with flavor, these keto-friendly cookie bars are the perfect low-carb twist on a classic favorite.

Ingredients:

1/2 C Nut Butter

1/4 C Melted Butter

1/2 C Sweetener

1 Egg

1 t Vanilla

1/2 C Almond Flour

1 Scoop Vanilla Protein Powder

1 t Baking Soda

1/2 t Cinnamon

Chocolate Chips, optional

Directions:

Mix all ingredients together to make a thick batter.  Flatten into a parchment paper-lined 8x8 pan and bake at 350 for 22-24 minutes. You can also substitute any protein brand and flavor that you love. My favorite protein powder flavors to use are Gingerbread, Chocolate Toffee, Pumpkin Spice, Snickerdoodle, Vanilla & Chocolate!

Alternatives:

Another similar idea/recipe is to make cookie dough bark! The ingredients are very similar and simple and you don’t have to bake a thing! These ones are dairy-free and everybody loves them! Just mix:

3/4 C Cashew Butter

1/4 C Sugar-Free Maple Syrup

1 t Vanilla

1 C Almond Flour

1/4 C Psyllium Husk Powder (or flax meal works too)

1/2 C Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (I love “Bake Believe” brand)

Mix those ingredients all together and flatten into an 8x8 pan atop parchment paper. Set in the fridge while you melt the next two ingredients:

1 C Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips

1 T Coconut Oil

Melt in two 30-second increments, stirring in between and pour atop the cooled dough. Refrigerate for an hour or so and then slice to enjoy!
