Loaded Keto Cookie Bars

Ingredients

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1 cup natural peanut butter (or any nut butter)
• 1/2 cup granulated erythritol (or sweetener of choice)
• 1 large egg
• 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. Add the peanut butter, egg, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated; the batter will be thick.
3. Fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips and chopped nuts if using, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal. Press the mixture firmly into the dish, smoothing out the top.
5. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to set. For a firmer texture, consider chilling them for a few hours.
6. Once set, lift the bars out using the parchment overhang. Cut into squares and enjoy!
