4 Ingredient No Bake Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars
These chocolate chip cookie bars are low carb, low sugar and keto-friendly. They taste like cookie dough that can be enjoyed without baking or cooking. The cookie bars need just 4 ingredients and are easy to whip up.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (140g) superfine blanched almond flour, see note
- 3 tbsp (1.5 fl oz/44ml) sugar free maple flavored syrup, or sugar free honey flavored syrup
- 3 1/2 tbsp (52ml) melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup (82g) + 3 tbsp (34g) low carb dark chocolate chips, divided, can use low carb milk or semisweet chips
Instructions
- Line an 8 x 4-inch loaf pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, add almond flour, syrup and coconut oil. Mix until a dough forms. The dough shouldn't be too sticky, but if you pinch some of it together, it should hold its form. If your dough seems too dry and crumbly, add a little more syrup or coconut oil. You can also taste and adjust the level of sweetness. Stir in 3 tbsp (34g) of chocolate chips until they are evenly mixed throughout. If it seems like you don't have enough chocolate chip distribution, you can add another 1-2 tbsp of chocolate chips.
- Press the mixture evenly into your prepared pan. Briefly freeze for about 5-10 minutes, or until firm on the surface.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between with a silicone spatula, until the chocolate is melted and smooth. You can also melt the chocolate on the stove using the double-boiler method. Optional step: You can stir 1 tsp of melted coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This will make a softer chocolate surface, which is easier to cut, but will be a little messier to eat. I usually don't add coconut oil to the chocolate because I prefer a firmer chocolate layer.
- Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough and spread evenly across with an offset spatula.
- Place the bars in the fridge and chill for 2-3 hours, or until the chocolate is set and the bars are firm enough to cut. Allow the chocolate to soften a little at room temperature before cutting the bars with a sharp knife. Store uneaten bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- Almond flour note: If you are measuring almond flour with a measuring cup, make sure to spoon the almond flour into the measuring cup and level off the top. This will prevent too much almond flour from being added to the recipe. I used Kirkland superfine almond flour.
- Syrup note: You can use whatever sugar-free syrup you prefer. I like using sugar free maple syrup* or sugar-free honey flavored syrup. The amount of syrup needed may need to be adjusted depending on the brand and type of syrup you use.
- I have made these bars using ChocZero dark chocolate chips* and Lily's.*
- Coconut oil: You can use refined or unrefined coconut oil. Refined coconut oil will have less coconut flavor. I used Whole Foods Coconut Oil.*
