Keto Chocolate Bar Ingredients
- Unsweetened Chocolate: The star of the show and the base of our chocolate bars is unsweetened chocolate. Once melted and incorporated with the other ingredients, the chocolate can be formed into thin bar shapes and left to firm up in the refrigerator. Quality chocolate with a high cocoa content is ideal for maximizing flavor in this recipe, ensuring a deep, warm chocolate taste with each bite.
- Almond Butter: Looser in texture and more subtly flavored than peanut butter, almond butter is another vital ingredient for keto chocolate bars. Almond butter helps bring a slight bit of chew to the chocolate bars, creating a moreish texture and a delicate nutty undertone. Use almond butter that’s 100% nuts, without any added sugars or syrups, to keep carbs low and maintain a true almond taste.
- Keto Maple Syrup: Keto maple syrup can either be made at home with a handful of basic ingredients, or it can be purchased from a store or online. Check out my easy keto maple syrup recipe here. Unlike traditional maple syrup, which is full of sugar, keto maple syrup still has a burnt sugar, almost caramel taste, but without the huge hit of carbohydrates. As our chocolate bars contain no added sugar, keto maple syrup brings sweetness to balance the bitterness of the unsweetened chocolate.
- Coconut Oil (optional): Our keto chocolate bars are perfect with unsweetened chocolate, almond butter, and keto syrup, but adding coconut oil is a great idea if you have any to hand. Once the coconut oil has melted into the other ingredients, it makes the molten chocolate mixture gorgeously glossy, resulting in chocolate bars with a light sheen and chewy texture.
- Nuts and Seeds (optional): A generous amount of mixed nuts and seeds added to the melted chocolate brings crunch and texture once the bars have set. Nuts and chocolate have been enjoyed together as a classic flavor combination, and our bars are elevated with warm, nutty flavors and crunchy seeds.
