Equipment

9-inch square baking pan
Parchment paper
Large mixing bowl
Small saucepan
Spatula

Ingredients

1 cup almonds, roughly chopped 143g/5oz
½ cup pumpkin seeds 64g/2.25oz
¼ cup sunflower seeds 34g/1.2oz
¼ cup unsweetened shredded coconut 20g/0.7oz
¼ cup flaxseed meal 30g/1oz
¼ cup chia seeds 40g/1.4oz
¼ cup unsalted butter 57g/2oz
⅓ cup sugar-free caramel syrup 80ml
1 tsp vanilla extract 5ml
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp cinnamon
2 tbsp powdered erythritol 24g/0.85oz

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, flaxseed meal, and chia seeds.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the sugar-free caramel syrup, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly to ensure all the seeds and nuts are coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking pan and press down firmly into an even layer.
Sprinkle the powdered erythritol over the top of the mixture for added sweetness and a touch of crunch.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Remove from the oven and allow the granola bars to cool in the pan for about 1 hour. Then, using the parchment paper, lift out the bars and cut them into 10 equal pieces.
Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for longer shelf life.

Notes

For a vegan version, replace butter with coconut oil. The bars can be customized with different nuts or keto-friendly mix-ins like cacao nibs or hemp seeds for added texture and flavor.
