Low Carb Nut Bars For Snacks
I love nuts so much; they are my favourite snack ever. It's easy to grab some nuts and munch on them when you need a snack. However, I made these low-carb nut bars mainly to take to work as a snack, and this recipe yielded 12 super delicious snack bars.
I actually experimented with this recipe a lot, and here are my notes on success:
In order for these bars to hold their shape, you need to press them firmly in the pan. I also prefer using roasted nuts with a little bit of salt to have that salty and crunchy texture that I love.
You can use whatever nuts you like. I used almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower, and pumpkin seeds. I also sweetened these bars with no added maple syrup. However, you may use your favourite sweetener.
Finally, I used butter and peanut butter to hold the nuts together and for extra flavour.
Ingredients
Note: This is an overview of the ingredients. See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
Nuts: I used almond and hazelnuts.
Seeds: I used sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds.
No sugar added maple syrup: to add some sweetness to these nut bars.
Butter: I prefer unsalted butter.
Peanut butter: I used creamy peanut butter; you can use crunchy if you want.
Shredded coconut
Pinch of salt
Note: You can use any other kind of nuts or seeds you prefer; however, make sure to use the same measurement in the recipe, which is around two cups of any type of seeds and nuts.
How to make Low Carb Nut Bars For Snacks
One: Line a 20x20cm baking dish with parchment paper.
Two: In a mixing bowl, add all the nuts and seeds and shredded coconut then mix well.
Three: Add the melted butter then mix thoroughly.
Four: Add the peanut butter (that is at room temperature) and combine well with all the nuts.
Five: Add the sugar-free maple syrup and mix one more time.
Six: Spread the mixture in the baking dish and press it with the palm of your hands firmly until it holds together. Refrigerate it for at least an hour or two.
Seven: After that, remove it from the refrigerator, cut it into small rectangles, and serve or keep it in the fridge.
Storage
Cut small pieces of parchment paper to put under each slice of the snack bars. Then, keep them in an air-tight box in the fridge. They will last for a very long time, about 2 weeks.
