Keto Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Breakfast Bars
Our Keto breakfast bars are made from a base of creamy organic peanut butter, sliced almonds, unsweetened coconut flakes, and chocolate chips. The mixture is blended with egg whites to hold it all together and add healthy protein to the bars. The bars are slightly sweetened with a monk fruit blend. The mixture is pressed hard into a cake pan to compact the ingredients together. Since there is no gluten or sugar in this recipe, this step is essential. Once baked to golden brown perfection, the bars are cut into sections that can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month. Our breakfast bars make for a great grab-and-go snack for busy mornings. They are a must for peanut butter and chocolate lovers!
How to make Keto breakfast bars
Keto breakfast bars are easy to make and can be mixed in one bowl, making cleanup a breeze. Egg whites are added to the mixture so that when baked, the bars hold together. Once the mixture is ready, it is scooped into the cake pan. A piece of parchment paper is placed on top of the mixture and pressed with the palms of your hands so the pieces are pressed together tightly. This part is an essential step since there is no gluten or sugar in this recipe as a binder. The step is a great time to get little hands involved as well! Chilling the bars before cutting is also an important part of keeping these bars in shape. Be sure to use finely shredded coconut flakes for this recipe, as they compact better.
Is peanut butter Keto?
Yes! While some people do not consider peanut butter Keto because it is a legume, it is low-carb, contains protein, and is also high in fat. It can be enjoyed in moderation on a less strict Keto diet, and it offers enjoyment and variety, which is key to long-term success! Please use creamy no sugar added peanut butter for this recipe.
Where can I find a monk fruit sweetener blend?
Monkfruit sweetener blend can be found at most large grocery stores and supermarkets these days. If not, then it is a common ingredient that can be found at natural food stores. It is also available online at large retailers like Amazon.

35 min
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 F. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the sliced almonds, unsweetened shredded coconut flakes, monk fruit sweetener blend, and no-sugar-added creamy peanut butter (we like to use organic). Be sure to use finely shredded coconut flakes for this recipe, as they compact together better.Step 2
Add in the stevia-sweetened chocolate chips, egg whites, melted coconut oil, and sea salt. Mix well to combine. Pour into an 8" x 8" cake pan. You can line the cake pan with parchment paper that hangs over the sides of the cake pan for easy removal after baking and chilling.Step 3
Cover the top of the mixture in the pan with parchment paper. Use your palms to press as hard as possible to compact the ingredients together. This will help the bars hold together after baking.Step 4
Make sure the mixture is pressed evenly on all sides of the pan. Bake for 20 minutes or until the bars are golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven to allow cooling.Step 5
Allow the bars to cool completely. Then place them in the fridge to firm before cutting. Cut them into 8 bars.Step 6
Remove them gently using a metal spatula to separate them. Place any remaining bars in the refrigerator. Enjoy!

This is a great recipe! We cut the bars into 16 pieces and enjoy them for a quick grab if we are hungry or needing something to eat on our way out. It’s important to cool the bars completely before cutting. I place these bars into snack baggies and in the freezer. These bars make it so I don’t crave sweets and help if I’m a little hungry and don’t know what to have. Love this recipe!
