Ingredients (Serves 16 bars)

  • 2 cups (200 g) blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup (30 g) coconut flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (115 g) unsalted butter, melted (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
  • ⅔ cup (130 g) granulated erythritol (or monk fruit sweetener)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ cup (80 g) sugar-free chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup (30 g) chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, for crunch)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Preheat Your Oven

Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. This ensures even distribution.

Step 3: Prepare Wet Ingredients

In another bowl, whisk melted butter and erythritol until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until creamy.

Step 4: Combine Wet & Dry

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until a dough forms. It should be slightly thick but spreadable.

Step 5: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in chocolate chips (and nuts if using). Save a few chips to sprinkle on top before baking for presentation.

Step 6: Spread into Pan

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish. Smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 7: Bake

Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out mostly clean (a few crumbs are fine).

Step 8: Cool Before Cutting

Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan before slicing. This prevents crumbling and helps them firm up.

Step 9: Slice into Bars

Cut into 16 equal squares.

Step 10: Serve & Enjoy

Enjoy warm with a keto hot chocolate, coffee, or as a dessert after dinner.

Tips for the Best Keto Cookie Bars

  • Do Not Overbake – They continue to set as they cool, so take them out when the edges are golden.
  • Sweetener Options – Erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose all work. Avoid liquid sweeteners as they change the texture.
  • Dairy-Free – Replace butter with coconut oil for a dairy-free version.
  • Nut-Free – Use sunflower seed flour in place of almond flour.
  • Extra Flavor – Add cinnamon or espresso powder for depth.
