Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup Lakanto syrup or sugar free syrup of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup almonds
  • 1 cup macadamia nuts (roughly chopped)
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • 2 tablespoons hemp hearts
  • 1-2 teaspoon swerve, lakante, or sweetener of choice (if needed)
  • 4oz sugar free chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil, butter, or ghee

Directions

Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F, and line an 9x9 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Add all nuts and seeds to a large bowl and stir to combine.
Step 2
Melt butter/coconut oil with vanilla extract and syrup in a small pan set over low heat. Pour mixture over nuts and seeds and toss to coat. Taste mixture and adjust sweeteners by adding additional keto friendly sweetener to taste.
Step 3
Pour the nut mixture out into prepared baking dish. Use a piece of wax paper to press the mixture firmly together.
Step 4
Bake the nut bars for approximately 22-25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow the nut bars to cool for at least 45 minutes in the pan.
Step 5
Melt chocolate and 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil in the microwave or stovetop. Drizzle onto bars. Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes. Lift bars out of pan and cut into pieces.
