December greetings! Like, how did it get to be December already?! I’m still gobsmacked by how fast time goes by, and how we’re already so deep into the holiday season.

Erik and I are celebrating what will be our last snowy Christmas, perhaps for a long time. 😉 We’re gearing up to move somewhere warmer, somewhere with less snow (and by that I mean none) and with more sun. Yeah!!

We’re still looking at different options, but looking to move back to the West Coast, where we both grew up. It’s time to go home, ya know? (Something about this time of year gets me all nostalgic and emotional.)

While we ponder what new beginnings next year has for us, let us first celebrate the holidays still ahead… today I’m sharing my favorite recipe for Keto Peanut Butter Bars.

Today’s keto chocolate peanut butter bars are low carb and keto-friendly. Bonus: they’re super easy to make and oh-so-ready to grace your holiday dessert table. Ready to no bake this? Let’s do it!

How to Make Keto Peanut Butter Bars

Line

Before you even grab the keto peanut butter bar ingredients, make sure to line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or wax paper.

Make the Peanut Butter Layer

Add peanut butter, keto maple syrup and coconut flour to a medium mixing bowl. Stir and fold it all together until thickened into a dough ball. Drop the peanut butter dough ball into the center of your prepared baking pan.

Use a rubber spatula to smooth the peanut butter ball into an even layer.

Make the Chocolate Topping

Melt the keto chocolate chips and peanut butter together. Stir until it’s well mixed and smooth. 

Pour the Chocolate Over the Peanut Butter

Pour your keto chocolate peanut butter topping over the peanut butter layer. Smooth the chocolate topping out over the peanut butter layer, creating an even chocolate topping.

Freeze, Slice and Enjoy

Freeze until firm. Then, slice and enjoy the best keto peanut butter bars ever! Wasn’t that easy?

How to Store Your Keto Peanut Butter Bars

Room Temperature

Just for Day 1, make sure to keep your keto peanut butter bars in the refrigerator. The keto chocolate topping just needs to set. Day 2 and onward, go ahead and store your keto peanut butter bars at room temperature. Make sure to store the bars in an airtight container and out of direct sunlight and away from heat sources, which could melt the topping.

Freezer

Feel free to store your keto chocolate peanut butter bars in the freezer. Just remember to place them in a freezer-friendly container first. You can keep the peanut butter bars in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw before serving.

Where to Buy Ingredients for the Best Keto Peanut Butter Bars

  • Keto Chocolate Chips – the best-selling keto chocolate chips for years running. I love these using these low carb chocolate chips in everything from keto fudge to keto dessert bars (and even just a snack!).
  • Keto Maple Syrup – a keto pantry essential. I’ve used this brand of low carb, keto maple syrup for years, as well as the one from lakanto. Sometimes ya just need to switch it up! I used this exact brand of keto maple syrup to develop my keto peanut butter bars recipe.
  • Coconut Flour – one of my favorite keto-friendly flours. Coconut flour is awesome for keto because it’s so low carb, boasting just 2 net carbs per serving. This is the brand of coconut flour that I’ve used for years.

Wishing you a wonderful season full of joyful eats, delightful laughs and all the love in the world. ‘Til the next dessert adventure…

Sending you all my love and maybe even a dove, xo Demeter ❤️

Description

Keto Peanut Butter Bars: only 4 ingredients for soft ‘n dense no bake peanut butter bars topped with a thick layer of chocolate peanut butter. Sink your teeth into the best keto peanut butter chocolate bars! Like PB cups in bar form.


Scale

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter or Homemade Peanut Butter
  • 3 tablespoons keto maple syrup
  • ½ cup coconut flour

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup keto chocolate chips
  • ½ cup unsalted, natural creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment or wax paper. Clear some space in the freezer for this pan—you’ll need it later. Set aside.
  2. Make the Peanut Butter Layer: In a medium bowl, add Peanut Butter Layer ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter, keto maple syrup, and coconut flour.
  3. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until well-mixed and thickened, with no visible flour patches remaining. It will be very thick.
  4. Drop peanut butter “dough” ball in the center of prepared baking pan. Using the rubber spatula, spread from the center outwards, smoothing dough into an even layer. Set aside.
  5. Make the Chocolate Topping: Use the double boiler method or the following. Add Chocolate Topping ingredients to a medium, microwave-safe bowl: 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter. Heat in 20-second increments until chocolate is softened and melty. Stir in between heating increments, until smooth.
  6. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling. Using a clean rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Tap the pan a few times to help even out the chocolate.
  7. Transfer pan to freezer. Freeze for 45-60 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and slice into 16 squares. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

Storing Instructions: On the first day, these bars are best stored in the refrigerator, as the chocolate topping hasn’t fully set yet. Serve and enjoy within 1 hour. After the first day, you may store these bars in an airtight container at room temperature or the refrigerator (1-2 weeks). Starting week 2, the bars are a bit drier (like Reese’s PB cup filling), but still delicious.

Freezing Instructions: These bars freeze well. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for 1-2 months. Thaw at room temperature for 10 minutes before enjoying.

    I’m excited to read you guys are in the process of moving back west. Growing up in northern California, then moving away for 20 years made the move back home so much sweeter! Whereever you guys land, your neighbors are in for a treat! I know I should be talking about the recipe, which looks awesome as always, but having followed you for quite some time, ypur mention of moving caught my eye. I hope planning where to move has been fun, can’t wait to see what’s next. 😊

      It’s always so good to hear from you, Heidi! 🙂 20 years, back to California: I couldn’t agree more! I haven’t been gone as long, but instead have shuttled back and forth between the East and West Coast (and now the Midwest). It really feels like time to go back home. <3 It's awesome to hear from a fellow West Coaster that the return is sweet. Thank you so much for your well wishes! I hope you and your hubs are doing well & staying warm & safe. 🙂

    Can almond flour be used instead of Coconut flour?

      December 7, 2020 at 3:14 pm

      Hi Vivian, that might just work–I haven’t tried it myself, but I know of a few readers who’ve done a similar swap in a similar recipe. Start with the amount listed, then add more almond flour and fold until you get a thick, dough-like consistency. Make sure not to add too much, as the bars might become grainy. Hope you love it!
