keto peanut butter bars with chocolate instructions

Peanut Butter – is the main ingredient in this recipe. You can use any brand you like but make sure it has no sugar added. Smooth peanut butter is recommended for the creamiest texture.

Almond Flour – this grain-free flour provides structure and replaces the classic graham crackers usually used to make peanut butter bars.
Butter – You can use salted or unsalted butter in this recipe! Coconut oil can also be used, and refined coconut oil is best to avoid the coconut flavor.
Sweetener – make sure you use a powdered sweetener to mix as easily as possible.
Vanilla Extract – use the best quality of vanilla that you can find.
Chocolate – This ingredient is used for the chocolate layer. I recommend using chopped dark chocolate or sugar-free semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Tips For Making The Best Keto Peanut Butter Bars

Line your pan with foil or parchment paper to make these bars easier to remove. It makes slicing and serving them a lot easier.
Use smooth, high-quality peanut butter. The peanut butter is the most important component of the recipe, so choose a creamy one that has a lovely, natural peanutty flavor.
You can use your favorite nut butter instead of peanut butter! Almond or cashew butter is also a great choice.

Recipe Variations and Tips

You can top these bars with some peanuts or hazelnuts.
Before the chocolate hardens, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top. This will bring out the delightful sweet-and-salty flavors in the bars to their full potential.
Add some unsweetened chocolate chips to the peanut butter mixture.
Add a small amount of coconut oil to make these bars softer.
Want to make keto peanut butter balls. You can use the peanut butter dough and roll it into balls, then dip or drizzle with chocolate. So good!
