A few months back, I gave it a protein-rich makeover, along with a few little tweaks.
They also became even easier to make. It’s rare for me to enjoy a coconut-based snack without some form of chocolate with it because let’s face it- I think nothing beats the chocolate and coconut combination. However, these bars are the exception- I actually found them even more satisfying and delicious WITHOUT some form of chocolate. Although if you do want some chocolate, this step-by-step recipe video shows just how magical this combination truly is and LOADED with coconut goodness! How to make Keto Coconut Bars Since attempting the ketogenic style of eating for one week, I realized that the key to a satisfying snack or dessert really is to focus on healthy fats, especially ones which are naturally sweet. That is why I’m such a huge fan of coconut-based candy or recipes. Shredded unsweetened coconut and coconut butter are both naturally sweet, but have no sweeteners in them- Just pure coconut!
For today’s recipe, you only need shredded unsweetened coconut, coconut oil, and monk fruit sweetened maple syrup- An all-natural low carb and sugar-free sweetener which mimics the texture of pure maple syrup. Because I want you to achieve the perfect no bake coconut crack bars, here are some easy tips and tricks. I personally prefer using a mix of the shredded and the finely shredded, as it provides the best texture overall. Feel free to use whichever you have on hand. If you do use the larger flakes of coconut, lightly wet your hands before transferring from the bowl to the lined baking tray- It will stop being overly sticky and easy to press into the pan! Note- Be sure whichever shredded coconut flakes you use, it is unsweetened- Both the sweetened and unsweetened varieties look identical so take note!
