Knife
Cutting board

Ingredients

1 cup almonds 150g / 5.3 oz
½ cup pumpkin seeds 64g / 2.25 oz
½ cup sunflower seeds 70g / 2.47 oz
¼ cup chia seeds 40g / 1.4 oz
¼ cup sesame seeds 36g / 1.27 oz
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 20g / 0.7 oz
¼ cup almond flour 25g / 0.88 oz
½ cup unsweetened peanut butter 128g / 4.5 oz
¼ cup coconut oil 60ml / 2 fl oz
⅓ cup powdered erythritol 53g / 1.87 oz
1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
¼ tsp sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roughly chop the almonds and combine them in a mixing bowl with the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, shredded coconut, and almond flour.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil and peanut butter, stirring until smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly, ensuring all the nuts and seeds are well coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet and press firmly into an even layer, about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely before slicing into bars. For best results, chill in the refrigerator for an hour to firm up before cutting.

Notes

Store bars in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for longer shelf life.

Ensure all seeds and nuts are raw and unsweetened to maintain keto-friendly status.

You may substitute peanut butter with almond butter or any other nut or seed butter of your choice.

For added sweetness, you can include a few drops of liquid stevia or a keto-friendly sweetener of your choice. Adjust according to your taste preference.

If you prefer a chewy texture, reduce the baking time by a few minutes.
