These low carb no bake chocolate peanut butter bars taste like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, but with a healthy twist. An easy, sugar free, vegan and keto-friendly snack or dessert- The perfect cure for any sweet tooth!
The first is to use peanut flour/peanut powder (as pictured). Peanut flour is defatted peanuts blended into a powder form. It contains considerably less fat than traditional peanut butter but has a very high protein content.
Alternatively, you can use coconut flour or almond flour, which are both low carb flour blends. If you choose to use almond flour, you’ll need twice the amount of coconut flour. The texture will also be considerably grittier and overall produce a darker color.
Furthermore, you’ll notice a call out for a sticky sweetener. I use this monk fruit sweetened maple syrup, which is 100% sugar-free and low carb (especially when compared to traditional maple syrup or sticky alternative). It mimics the texture of classic maple syrup and helps hold the bars well.
While there are other sugar-free syrups on the market (e.g. sugar-free pancake syrup or sugar-free maple syrup), these have a very watery consistency and you’ll likely find it difficult to shape the bars. Saying that, if you do opt to use one of those, be sure to freeze your bars before coating them in the chocolate and to move VERY quickly.
