    You are going to love these no bake low carb peanut butter “granola” bars. Happy keto, grain-free, and sugar-free snacking!
    Low Carb Keto Peanut Butter Granola Bars

    We low carbers are really good at faking it. No, no, I don’t mean that, get your mind out of the gutter! I mean we are really good at pretending one ingredient is entirely a different ingredient altogether. Cauliflower “rice”, zucchini “noodles”, cheese taco shells, pork rind cereal (yes, really!). Seriously, if we can find a way to make it look and taste like another food, we will be utterly delighted with ourselves.  Assuming it’s low in carbs and doesn’t raise our blood sugar, of course. It’s all part of the low carb game…let’s try to make our old favourites with real, whole ingredients and see if we can fool ourselves. Bonus points if you fool someone else too.

    Not to toot my own horn or anything…oh, who am I kidding? Toot Toot! TOOT TOOT! I am pretty sure I could fool just about anyone with these low carb keto peanut butter granola bars. These things are da bomb and I defy anyone to tell me that it’s not actually granola (aka oats) in this recipe. It was my answer to all the no-bake peanut butter granola bars I see on Pinterest all the time. You know the ones, the “Easy, just 3 ingredients” bars that take peanut butter, honey, and oats and would send your blood sugar soaring. Well mine may have more than 3 ingredients but they ARE easy and they won’t pack on the pounds.

    Easy no bake low carb peanut butter granola bars

    Sometimes, when you fake it with low carb ingredients, you realize something is missing. The first time I made these, they were delicious but overly crumbly. I loved the flavour and the texture, but how to get them to hold together a bit better without honey? I wanted to keep the carbs down (obvs!) so I didn’t want to add anything syrupy. I was mulling it over when it just hit me that maybe a little collagen might help. We all know that grassfed collagen is the new darling of the health food world. Collagen is one of the building blocks of our skin, our hair, our…everything! It’s good for our joints and it’s credited with any number of other health benefits.

    These easy low bake peanut butter granola bars will blow your mind!

    I can neither confirm nor deny these claims. But I can tell you that it helps hold these bars together delightfully. No bake keto goodness right here, friends. Yummy and healthy!

      Could you possibly use Bochasweet powdered sweetener?

      Would it make a big difference if the salt were left out?

        Not to the texture but it will taste better with a bit of salt. 🙂

      I’ve just discovered my new go-to travel snack. AMAZING!!! When I made them last night they had that swerve “cooling” effect. But after all night in the fridge, they don’t have it anymore. I’ve noticed this a couple of times with things made with swerve, after cooking or leaving for a bit that “effect” wears off. Love absolutely everything I’ve made from your site. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

        Interesting! I don’t get the cooling sensation with Swerve, although I do with plain erythritol. Glad it went away for you.

      These are seriously amazing! For a bit more of a treat, I sometimes add a few raisins. I use the whey protein instead of collagen and it’s still wonderful.
