KETO GRANOLA BAR RECIPE

These Keto Granola Bars are a great go-to snack or quick grab-and-go breakfast that you can make ahead of time and store on the counter. These densely packed and slightly sweet bars will fill you up, and give you energy to go about your day. They are perfect for people without a lot of time to eat in the morning, as well as a perfectly sized snack for when you may get hungry between meals and want a treat. Just the right sweet to hit the spot, without tasting like a candy bar.

If you grow tired of eating eggs, meat, or cheese these are a good alternative. This recipe makes 18 bars if you cut them the same approximate size as a Quaker Chewy Granola Bar. Since these have no grains in them, they are a good all around Low-Carb and Gluten-Free snack, and of course they are Keto too.

The hemp hearts are optional, but they do provide some Omega Fatty Acids to the bars that have many claimed health benefits. Likewise the Lily’s Chocolate Chips are also optional (or you can add more of those if you would prefer this to be more like a Keto candy bar instead.

While they may look small to your eyes, your stomach will say otherwise. Being that these Keto Granola Bars are practically all nuts, these will not be water soluble like a traditional granola bar that just dissolves quickly in your stomach. Be sure to let me know what you think of them in the Comments Section below! Also, let me know if you have some favorite ingredients that you would add to your own to tweak them up a little bit too.
