Description
Delicious Keto Dark Chocolate Mint Silk Bars that are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while staying on track with your keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup erythritol (or preferred keto sweetener)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, erythritol, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.
- In another bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and peppermint extract until smooth.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Fold in the sugar-free dark chocolate chips.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the bars to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- While the bars cool, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until just simmering. Remove from heat and stir in any remaining dark chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
- Once the bars are completely cool, pour the chocolate ganache over the top and spread it evenly. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set the ganache.
- Cut into squares and serve.
Notes
- For a more intense mint flavor, increase the peppermint extract to 1/2 teaspoon.
- You can substitute the almond flour with coconut flour, but use only 1/3 cup, as coconut flour absorbs more moisture.
