Over the past month, the hubs and I have started going to the gym. Nothing too crazy, just mostly strength training and a mile of cardio just for fun. I’m not so much the protein drink kind of gal, and although Quest bars are an OK treat, I don’t want to eat them every day. So basically, I wanted low carb granola. I looked in my cabinets and threw a bunch of nuts and flavors together. To my surprise, it actually tasted really good. If I wasn’t going low carb and was just doing Paleo, I’d add in some dates and honey for sweetness and the added ooey-gooey.
So much for “protein” bars though, the macros are crazy, it’s 75% fat. Eat these low carb granola bar fat bombs in bar form or crumbled up like traditional granola. You can cut this into 16 slices and they’ll be 3.5 net carbs each.

Hi, I just got this recipe link from a friend that is keto, a keto, eating keto & what have you – Can you do this without the baking part? I ask because I make g bars at home but I do not bake them – they are RAW – I simply heat up wet ingredients
on the stovetop for a few minutes until melty and gooey and drop that in a mixing bowl that contains all other things
I use (seeds, dates, nutbutters, nuts puffed millet, puffed rice) and then drop that baby in a pan. I then smooth it all out press that baby down with a spatula and some elbow grease and drop it in the freezer for 30 – 35minutes Until its cuttable into bars then I refreeze or wrap up with parchment paper for the fridge for snacking!
This looks so yummy! Thank you
audioequality That would probably be fine! If you try it, let me know!
I don’t know why but this did not work. Just a bunch of dry ingredients that did not stick together. What a waste of high priced ingredients.
