Making HOMEMADE KETO BOUNTY BARS is incredibly simple. The vegan no-bake dish is naturally low in carbs, sugar, eggs, and dairy.
For a quick sweet snack that won't cause the regular sugar crash, store the simple sugar-free chocolate coconut bars in the refrigerator or freezer.
Fans of candy bars will give this one five stars!
Even picky eaters will enjoy these keto bars, which were inspired by my other recipes.
WHY DO BOUNTY BARS EXIST?
Coconut bars wrapped in milk chocolate make up the original Bounty bars. Each one has a centre packed with coconut and a sweet milk chocolate shell.
Instead, I chose to transform these well-known coconut bars into a nutritious meal. A single store-bought bar has a massive 27.4 g of sugar, or almost 7 teaspoons!
When following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, you will start to avoid any sugar wherever you can once you become aware of how common meals spike your blood sugar levels.
COCONUT IS IT KETO?
As long as you avoid buying coconut with added sweeteners, coconut is keto-friendly. Fortunately, coconut is a deliciously adaptable ingredient that can be utilized in many healthful recipes.
For cakes, bars, and quick cake decorations, use desiccated coconut.
Coconut flour is almost exclusively used in low-carb, keto, and naturally gluten-free baking.
sweetener of preference. Allulose, monk fruit, and powdered erythritol are common sugar substitutes.
INGREDIENTS
This junk food chocolate bar has been transformed into a healthy meal by adding a few basic ingredients. Now that you know this keto and vegan Bounty bar will be as authentic as possible and satisfy even the sweetest tooth, you can rest easy.
BOUNTY BAR FOR KETOS
Make sure to purchase unsweetened desiccated coconut. Coconut that has been shredded is a low-carb pantry staple that is nourishing and fiber-rich.
Coconut cream simply gives your Bounty bar recipe that rich, creamy feel. That is what enables this nutritious sweet treat to be dairy-free and vegan as well.
The flavor of a true coconut bar is imparted to the coconut filling by vanilla extract or essence. You can also use vanilla paste or fresh vanilla beans, but they cost more and require more effort to utilize.
You can use your favorite sugar alternative as your sweetener of choice. I enjoy using granulated erythritol sugar alcohol. Yet there are several of options for sugar-free sweeteners.
While making the chocolate shell, it's preferable to use the powdered sweetener; but, if you don't have any on hand, you can just ground your substitute for granulated sugar in a food processor or coffee grinder.
TOP TIP: Add enough sweetness to quench YOUR desire for sweets. The recipe card below lists the ingredients, but you may need more or less.
A CHOCOLATE COATING WITHOUT SUGAR
You may prepare your own sugar- and dairy-free chocolate coating to swap out the milk chocolate.
Melt the coconut oil before incorporating it into the dry ingredients.
Always get unsweetened cocoa powder (unsweetened chocolate) that hasn't had any additional sugars added.
