Tips for the Best Keto Cookie Bars
- Use Allulose for Extra Softness
Allulose makes baked goods softer and chewier compared to erythritol. - Don’t Overbake
The bars may look slightly underdone in the center—they’ll firm up as they cool! - Customize Your Mix-Ins
Try adding chopped nuts, coconut flakes, or a sprinkle of sea salt on top. - Make Them Dairy-Free
Swap butter for coconut oil and use dairy-free sugar-free chocolate chips.
FAQ
1. Can I use coconut flour instead of almond flour?
Yes, but you’ll need less! Use 1/2 cup coconut flour instead of almond flour and add an extra egg.
