Ingredients
Crust
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup butter, melted
- 2 tbsp granular monk fruit or erythritol
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Sugar-Free “Condensed Milk” Layer
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp powdered monk fruit or erythritol
- ½ tsp vanilla
- Pinch of salt
Toppings
- ½ cup sugar-free chocolate chips (Lily’s or similar)
- ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts
- ¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ¼ cup sugar-free caramel chips (optional)
Instructions
1. Make the Crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Mix almond flour, melted butter, sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
- Press firmly into an 8×8 baking pan lined with parchment.
- Bake 8–10 minutes, just until lightly golden.
2. Make Keto Condensed Milk
- In a small saucepan, heat heavy cream, butter, vanilla, sweetener, and salt.
- Simmer on medium-low for 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until slightly thickened (it will thicken more as it cools).
3. Assemble the Magic Bars
- Sprinkle nuts, chocolate chips, and coconut evenly over the crust.
- Pour the warm keto condensed milk over everything to help it bind.
- Add optional caramel chips if using.
4. Bake
- Bake 18–22 minutes, until edges are golden and center is bubbling slightly.
- Cool completely before cutting—this helps the bars set.
🌟 Tips for Perfect Keto Bars
- Let them cool fully, or they’ll crumble.
- For firmer bars, store in the fridge.
- You can replace nuts with keto cookie crumbles for a nut-free version.
- Add a drizzle of sugar-free caramel to make them extra decadent.
