INGREDIENTS NOTES:
ALMOND FLOUR:
- Almond flour adds a somewhat nutty flavor and crumbly texture but is used in place of conventional crispy rice cereal to prepare the low-carb and
- gluten-free dessert.
PEANUT BUTTER:
- We have to choose a natural peanut butter to add protein content and creaminess. It should be free from added sugar so that it remains keto-friendly.
ERYTHRITOL:
- Erythritol powder is a sweetener that is suitable for keto that dissolves readily & offers sweetness without raising blood sugar levels. We can also use the stevia blend or monk fruit sweetener as a substitute for Erythritol.
UNSALTED BUTTER:
- Unsalted butter provides richness and binding power and you may also regulate the bars’ saltiness by using unsalted butter.
KETO CARAMEL SYRUP:
- We can use the store-bought keto-friendly caramel or we can also prepare our own with keto-approved sweeteners to maintain the caramel layer’s keto-friendliness.
HEAVY CREAM:
- Heavy Cream contributes to the caramel layer’s creaminess and helps create a rich, velvety feel.
KETO DARK CHOCOLATE CHIPS
- We have to use the sugar-free keto dark chocolate chips to make sure that they are low in carbohydrates and sweetened with keto-friendly sweeteners to keep the dish keto-friendly.
