INGREDIENTS NOTES:

NATURAL PEANUT BUTTER:

  • We have to use a natural peanut butter that only contains peanuts and possibly salt, without any added sugar. We don’t have to use the peanut butter with the hydrogenated oils and additional sugar. You would also utilize the butter of sunflower seeds or almond in place of peanut butter.

COCONUT OIL:

  • Coconut oil aids to make the stack firm and it also loaded with the good fat content. We can use both refined and unrefined coconut oil as we like.

KETO SWEETENER:

  • We can use keto sweeteners like Erythritol or monk fruit in the powder form to prevent the dessert from getting grainy and we can change the quantity of the sweetness as we like.

COCONUT SHRED:

  • We use the unsweetened Coconut Shreds as it gives texture and chewiness to these haystacks. We have to make sure the coconut shred isn’t sweetened to prevent additional carbs in the dessert.

OPTIONAL:

  • Chopped Nuts make the dessert crunchy and also provide healthy fats. We can add pecans, walnuts, or almonds as we like, or make it without nuts if you have an allergy.

VANILLA EXTRACT:

  • Vanilla Extract is added to balance the indulgence of peanut butter and it also adds flavor.

CHOCOLATE CHIPS:

  • We use sugar-free chocolate chips that are sweetened with Erythritol or keto Sweetener to make it keto-friendly.
