I must confess that I’m a granola girl at heart. Having grown up in the ’80s when granola bars were all the rage, I loaded up on the stuff.  

And since they were considered a healthy option, even though they were jammed-packed with sweetness, I had my fair share of granola in all its forms.

However, these days, no matter how much you tried, you couldn’t get me to eat a traditional grain-laden granola bar. 

Most granola on the market is loaded with sugar and grains, both of which I no longer allow in my diet.

Enter a homemade keto granola bar recipe to the rescue!

How To Make Keto Granola Bars

To prepare your granola bars, begin by preheating your oven to 325 degrees.

Then, in a mixing bowl, use an electric beater to beat the egg whites until they become frothy.

Next, incorporate the butter and peanut butter into the frothy egg whites, followed by mixing in the sugar substitute and vanilla extract until the mixture is thoroughly blended.

After that, add the flax seed meal, coconut flour, sea salt, baking soda, and cinnamon, blending everything until well combined.

Stir in one cup of medium-sized unsweetened coconut flakes and one cup of chopped almonds. 

Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by lining it with parchment paper, ensuring that some paper overhangs the sides for easy removal later.

Press the granola mixture firmly into the prepared baking pan. Place it in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the bars are golden, firm around the edges, and slightly puffed.

Once baked, allow the mixture to cool completely in the pan before lifting it out using the parchment overhang.

Finally, cut the cooled mixture into bars with a sharp, large knife. Store your homemade granola bars in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for up to 90 days for longer preservation.

Keto-Friendly Sugar Substitutes

I have several options when it comes to which sweetener you can use in these low-carb granola bars. I really like Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener because the texture is spot on and because there is barely any aftertaste.  It’s the one sweetener that never gives me an issue.

I’m also partial to Swerve an erythritol blend. Although it does have a cooling aftertaste that some people dislike. Personally, it’s not an issue for me and it’s why I am a fan.

You could also alternatively use the stevia and erythritol-based brand Pyure. 

Tips For Making Low-Carb Granola Bars

• Use coconut oil in place of butter for a dairy-free option.
• Line your baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
• Substitute nuts for your choice of other keto-friendly nuts.
• Mix in 1/2 cup of sugar-free chocolate chips
• Swap the peanut butter for almond butter.

High Fiber Keto Granola Bars

I felt that these keto granola bars should also be high in fiber, as getting enough fiber on a keto diet can be challenging.

So, if I can find a delicious way to sneak in more fiber, this girl will make it happen. 

We often get asked if choosing to go low-carb or keto means that you will not be getting enough fiber in your diet.

The short answer is that if you eat plenty of green vegetables, fiber may not be an issue on a keto diet.

Remember, most of the carbs you will consume on a low-carb plan come from plenty of fresh green vegetables.

Since these low-carb granola bars combine coconut flour, coconut flakes, and flax meal, each serving contains lots of fiber.
