INGREDIENT NOTES:
PEANUT BUTTER:
- Peanut butter keeps carbohydrates low while adding a rich, nutty feel. Use natural peanut butter without sweet taste with sugar or oils for optimal flavor and consistency. It facilitates the smooth binding of the cereal.
KETO SYRUP:
- Keto-friendly syrup adds sweetness and stickiness to keep the bars solid. Use monk fruit syrup or Allulose to keep the mixture flexible and prevent sugar surges. Steer clear of honey and maple syrup, as they are heavy in carbohydrates.
BUTTER OR COCONUT OIL:
- Butter or coconut oil provides moisture and aids in the bars’ solidification when refrigerated. Butter produces a richer, creamier flavor, while coconut oil adds a subtle tropical touch. Both are effective for smooth texture and binding.
VANILLA ESSENCE:
- Vanilla extract improves the flavor by warming and balancing the nutty base. It naturally balances the sweetness without adding more carbohydrates. The finest aroma comes from a pure extract, not an imitation.
KETO RICE CEREAL:
- The bars’ distinctive crunch comes from keto rice cereal. Look for high-protein, puffed cereal produced from whey or soy protein to keep carbs low. This ingredient is a fantastic substitute for regular Rice Krispies.
KETO COCONUT SHREDS:
- Unsweetened shredded coconut gives a sense of texture and subtle sweetness. It keeps the bars chewy and supple while adding flavor without adding sugar. This is optional but strongly advised for added crunch.
SALT:
- Salt will improve the overall sweetness and flavor of the bars. It counterbalances the rich, nutty flavor of syrup and peanut butter.
