Description
Delicious and nutritious energy bars made with pistachios and cranberries, perfect for a keto diet.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups unsalted pistachios, shelled
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries, unsweetened
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the pistachios, shredded coconut, and dried cranberries. Stir until evenly mixed.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond butter, melted coconut oil, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until everything is well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly into an even layer.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, lift the bars out using the parchment paper and cut into squares.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a teaspoon of cinnamon or a tablespoon of chia seeds.
- Substitute the pistachios with walnuts or almonds for a different nutty flavor while keeping it keto-friendly.
