My Personal Experience

I can’t tell you enough how satisfying these keto chocolate chip cookie bars are! I’ve made these for family get-togethers, and they never last long. The best part? They’re always a hit, even with non-keto folks! I remember the first time I made them—my husband couldn’t believe they were low-carb. The combination of almond flour and sugar-free chocolate chips really captures that classic cookie bar flavor, and I’m sure you’ll love it just as much as I do. Plus, the aroma that fills your kitchen while they bake is pure heaven.

Required Equipment

• Mixing Bowls: A good, sturdy mixing bowl is essential for combining your ingredients. I always use a medium-sized bowl for dry ingredients and a larger one for wet ingredients. Trust me, a solid bowl makes the whole process easier, especially when mixing those almond and coconut flours together.
• Electric Mixer or Whisk: Whether you use an electric mixer or a whisk, make sure you’ve got something to help combine your wet and dry ingredients. I love using an electric mixer for smooth batter with minimal effort. It’s the best way to get that perfect texture!
• Baking Dish: A square or rectangular baking dish is perfect for these bars. I use one with a non-stick coating to prevent any sticking (which can sometimes happen with keto-friendly baking). If you don’t have a non-stick dish, lining it with parchment paper is always a great option.
• Measuring Cups and Spoons: Accurate measurements are key when baking keto-friendly treats. I use a set of measuring spoons and cups to ensure I’m using the right amounts of ingredients for the perfect bars.
• Spatula: A rubber spatula is my go-to tool for scraping down the sides of the bowl and folding in the chocolate chips. It makes everything come together beautifully!

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here’s what you’ll need to make these irresistible Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars:

• Almond Flour (1 ½ cups): The base of these bars, almond flour gives the perfect texture while keeping carbs low. If you don’t have almond flour, you can use coconut flour, but you’ll need to adjust the amount (use 1/4 the amount of coconut flour).
• Coconut Flour (2 tbsp): Coconut flour adds a subtle sweetness and texture to these bars. It also helps bind the ingredients together. You can’t swap this out without compromising the texture, so make sure to use it!
• Baking Powder (1 tsp): This will give your cookie bars the lift they need to rise slightly.
• Butter (½ cup, softened): Butter brings richness and moisture to the bars. For a dairy-free option, you can substitute with coconut oil.
• Sweetener (¼ cup, like erythritol or monk fruit): This sweetener ensures your cookie bars stay perfectly sweet without adding any carbs. You can adjust the sweetness level based on your preference.
• Eggs (2 large): Eggs act as a binder and help hold everything together, giving these bars that perfect chewy texture.
• Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips (¾ cup): The star ingredient! Sugar-free chocolate chips make these bars feel indulgent while keeping the carbs in check. Feel free to use dark chocolate chips if you prefer a richer flavor.
• Vanilla Extract (1 tsp): A splash of vanilla enhances the overall flavor, adding a depth that makes these bars extra tasty.

How to Make Keto Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars

1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that the bars bake evenly.
2. Prepare Your Baking Dish: Grease your baking dish with butter or line it with parchment paper for easy removal of the bars later.
3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, and baking powder.
4. Cream the Butter and Sweetener: In a large bowl, use an electric mixer or a whisk to beat together the softened butter and your choice of sweetener until it’s smooth and fluffy.
5. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs and vanilla extract until everything is combined.
6. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing well until a dough forms.
7. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips. Make sure they’re evenly distributed throughout the dough.
8. Spread the Dough in the Baking Dish: Use your spatula to evenly spread the dough in your prepared baking dish.
9. Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Slice: Let the bars cool in the dish for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing into squares.

Tips for This Recipe

• Check for Doneness: Since ovens vary, check the bars around the 20-minute mark to ensure they don’t overcook. They should be golden and slightly firm to the touch.
• Store in an Airtight Container: To keep the bars fresh, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
• Customize Your Sweetness: Depending on your sweetener, you may want to adjust the amount used to suit your taste.

Optional Additions

• Nuts: If you love a bit of crunch, try adding some chopped pecans or walnuts into the dough before baking.
• Coconut Flakes: For a tropical twist, mix in unsweetened shredded coconut.
• Chopped Dark Chocolate: For an extra burst of chocolate, add some chopped dark chocolate along with or in place of the chips.
