Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup erythritol or your favorite keto-friendly sweetener
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1–2 teaspoons cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare an 8×8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, mix together the shredded coconut, almond flour, erythritol, ground ginger, baking powder, cayenne pepper, and salt until well blended.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, eggs, lime juice, lime zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Gradually combine the wet ingredients into the dry mixture, stirring until you achieve a thick, sticky batter.
- Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, pressing it down firmly and evenly with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center feels firm.
- Let the dish cool for about 10 minutes before using the parchment paper to lift the bars out.
- Allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing into squares for serving.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper based on your spice preference.
- Ensure the bars are completely cooled before slicing for the best texture.
