Coconut Cacao Nib Breakfast Bars (Low Carb and Gluten Free)

When I think back on my start in low carb baking, I realize just how far I have come. I used to search endlessly for low carb recipes and meal ideas, and when I found one I liked, I’d follow it almost to the letter. I might make small changes, but I was too afraid of failure to do much more than that. Now I think of an idea, or see something that I’d like to make over into a low carb dish, and I strike out on my own. I might consult another recipe or two for a bit of guidance, but that’s all I really need. I’ve come to have a feel for how low carb ingredients behave, and I adjust as I go, adding a touch more nut flour here, or a little extra liquid there. More often than not, I am successful, and with increased success comes increased confidence. It’s a good feeling.

But I know I didn’t get here entirely on my own, and if it hadn’t been for all of the great recipes I found early on, I wouldn’t be this confident of my own abilities. Standing on the shoulders of giants, as they say. One source I returned to time and time again was FreeCoconutRecipes.com, the recipe website of Tropical Traditions. The recipes on this site aren’t necessarily low carb, but many are gluten free, which I’ve often found as a great starting point for converting a recipe into low carb. I first came across the site when searching for recipes using coconut flour, which is an incredibly useful low carb ingredient but one that behaves so differently from wheat flour, it takes a lot of getting used to. The recipes on the site are provided both by the Tropical Traditions team and by readers, and many of them were immeasurably helpful to me as I learned the ropes of low carb baking.

Loving their site as I do, you can imagine how thrilled I was to be asked to try out their Gold Label Virgin Coconut Oil, and to be able to give away a jar to one of my readers. You want me to try your delicious, healthy, smells-so-amazing-I-want-to-slather-it-all-over-me-and-spoon-it-out-of-the-jar product for free? Yes, please! I’ve been using virgin coconut oil in some of my baking for a while now, and it really is a wonderful alternative to butter. It was fantastic in my Cranberry Walnut Chocolate Chip Cookies and my Cinnamon Roll Scones. I’m not quitting butter any time soon, but coconut oil definitely has its place in my baking arsenal and I’ve found that it produces very tender, melt-in-your-mouth results. Although it smells intensely of coconut, you don’t get an overwhelming coconut flavour in the final product, unless you choose to play it up with other coconut products. It’s also wonderful in savoury foods, and my favourite way to serve zucchini these days is to simply saute it in coconut oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

When my jar came, I immediately opened it up and inhaled deeply. There is nothing on earth quite like it! You will think you are somewhere in the tropics, and you literally want to crawl inside the jar. I set about making some breakfast bars, since I was out of morning baked goods, and this time I wanted them to really be coconut-flavoured. I toasted up some unsweetened, shredded coconut and tossed it in with the almond flour and sweetener. At first, I intended these to be made with a chopped-up Lindt bar, but I spied a bag of cacao nibs that I hadn’t yet opened and thought they might make a good addition. Then I mixed in some eggs, almond milk and the coconut oil, and popped it in the oven.

The Results: I had intended these to be more dense and bar-like, but they ended up more like cake. That’s certainly not a bad thing, since who doesn’t like to eat cake for breakfast?!??! It was really good that way, light and airy and slightly crumbly. The cacao nibs offered a chocolate flavour without adding any sweetness, which was perfect for a breakfast cake/bar. And have I mentioned how wonderfully tender coconut oil makes baked goods? These bars were no exception! My kids loved them, and loved being allowed to eat cake for breakfast.

If you haven’t yet tried coconut oil in your baking, you must enter this giveaway! And if you have tried it, and love it like I do, you must also enter this giveaway!

    I love my virgin coconut oil to death too, and although it's produced over here, it's so expensive! I treat it like gold.. So many people want to win this, perhaps they're dying to make this delicious low carb, gluten free recipe of yours.

    I just started using coconut oil in my diet but where I live I can't get the good stuff, only refined. I am overweight and I have a host of health problems. I am one week into a gluten free diet with coconut oil added in daily. I can already feel a difference in my energy level! If the refined stuff can make me feel this good I can't wait to try the good stuff!

    Hi. I’m a personal trainer and I’m loving your recipes, woot! I have one question though. would you be interested in adding the protein content of the recipes in? A lot of my girls do fairly heavy weightlifting and I myself am training to compete, so that is really important for my situation. I notice that you use the protein powder and all, and I guess I could do a rough estimate myself of the protein content, but figured i’d throw it out there. Thanks for your time!

      I doubt I am going to go back and start adding in protein counts (that would be a huge task!), but did you have your eye on particular recipes? Did you want the protein count for this one?

    I was looking for something yummy to make today and this fit the bill. Delicious! My whey protein was unflavored so I added a bit more sweetener and some coconut extract because I love the flavor. For me this is more of a lightly sweet dessert, almost a coconut crumb cake – just what I was looking for. Great idea using the cocoa nibs, just right. I hope this recipe isn’t overlooked by others just because it’s from a few years ago – I will definitely make this again. Thanks for all you do!
