How do I make Almond Butter Bars?

This recipe isn’t complicated at all! First off, you’ll combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, salt, cocoa powder, and sweetener). Once mixed, add the almond butter, melted butter, and beaten eggs.

The mixture should be very thick. At this point, fold in your chocolate chips and get them well-incorporated into the batter. Then, spread the batter into a lined 8×8 pan and bake 20-22 minutes at 350 degrees F!

Tips for the Best Keto Brownies

Line your pan: this ensures an easy clean up and makes removing and slicing a breeze.
Do not use a larger pan! This recipe is configured for an 8×8 pan, a larger pan will result in thin, overcooked brownies.
Use a good quality cocoa powder for the best chocolate flavor.
Do not overbake. Remember to remove your brownies from the oven when they are slightly undercooked. They will continue to cook in the hot pan when you remove them from the oven. You want perfectly gooey, fudgy brownies.

Can I meal prep a keto dessert?

Yes, these bars can be made in advance, making them perfect for meal prepping! You could store them in the fridge for a week, or you could freeze them individually to keep them longer.

If you are freezing, I recommend double-wrapping each individually bar in plastic, then storing in a freezer bag or other air-tight container. Allow bars to thaw overnight in the fridge or on the counter (or lunchbox) for a few hours.
