Keto Nut and Seed Bar
Have you ever made your granola bars? If not, then this recipe is for you. This is probably one of the easiest recipes that you will ever find. And, it is so delicious, you will be able to save a TON of money by never to have to buy keto granola bars at the store, ever again!
I have been making homemade keto granola bars for years. It all started when I happened to glance at the ingredient list on one of my favourite bars...and I barely recognized a single one!
Now, some of you might be saying that there are a lot of "organic" and "healthy" granola bars on the market today. This is absolutely true, but if you check the amount of sugar added to the bars, you may as well be eating a candy bar!
This recipe does not require any special ingredients. In fact, you can change the ingredients to accommodate your tastes and vary the flavour with different spices. Plus, depending on how you season them, these bars can also make a very healthy keto breakfast bar.

Keto Granola Bar Ingredients
This high fat granola bar only requires some very common ingredients. Feel free to substitute the nuts and seeds to whatever you have on hand.
- Nuts - I used a combination of walnuts and almonds. I do not suggest using roasted or salted nuts as the nuts could burn in the oven and salt may be overpowering. Since the nuts need to bind together, we are going to pulse them in a food processor until they are coarsely chopped.
- Seeds - Sunflower seeds, chia seeds and ground flax seeds are called for in this recipe. The chia seeds will need to soak for about 5-10 minutes.
- Sweetener - For this recipe, any sweetener will work. Just remember that allulose will brown quickly so you may need to cover your bars with aluminum foil if you choose to use allulose. My favourite keto sweetener for baking is WholeEarth Allulose Baking Blend.
- Peanut Butter - I love Member's Mark Natural peanut butter but any peanut, nut or seed butter will work.
- Eggs - You will need two large eggs at room temperature.
- Seasoning - I used a combination of cinnamon and vanilla.
Instructions for Keto Nut and Seed Bars
Step 1 - Chopped the nuts
- Although you could choose to finely chop the nuts by hand, I find pulsing the almonds and walnuts in a food processor makes this much easier.
Step 2 - Add in the Dry Ingredients
- Add in the seeds (including the soaked chia seeds), salt and sweetener and stir everything together.
Step 3 - Add in the liquid ingredients
- Heat the peanut butter briefly in the microwave and then whisk in the vanilla and eggs. Add the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the nuts and seeds and stir everything together.
Step 4 - Bake
- Press the mixture into a lined 8 x 8-inch pan and bake for about 15 minutes. Remove keto nut and seed bars from the oven, sprinkle with Maldon Salt if desired, and allow them to cool before slicing and enjoying.
