How to Make Homemade Snack Bars
There are hundreds of different snack bars at the grocery store. Some are called protein bars, while some go by energy bars or nutrition bars.
Problem is, the majority of them aren't keto-friendly, and the ones that are aren't the healthiest options (or the most affordable).
Making homemade energy bars is a good way to control the ingredients you're using. It's also a great way to save a few bucks. And it's really not as hard as it sounds, either.
All you really need is:
- An 8x8 baking dish
- Protein-packed ingredients like nuts and nut butters
- A mixing bowl to toss everything together
- About 15 minutes of spare time
Instead of using hard-to-pronounce ingredients, you simply combine your natural ingredients in a bowl and bake them for 15 minutes. Let them cool, then cut them into individual bars. You can even wrap them individually if you want!
See? Easy!

Homemade Keto Snack Bars Recipe
Ingredients:
- ½ cup FBOMB Macadamia Nut Butter (flavor of choice)
- ¼ cup coconut oil (we recommend FBOMB Coconut Oil)
- ¼ cup KetoLogic Erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon Kosher sea salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
- 1 egg white
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1½ cups unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 cup almonds, slivered
- 2 cups pecans, chopped
- 1 cup sunflower seeds
Preparation:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper, letting the paper hang over the sides. This will make the bars easier to remove later.
- Heat a large pot over medium heat. Add the macadamia nut butter, coconut oil, and sweetener. Stir until sweetener has dissolved. Remove pot from heat and allow mixture to cool down for a few minutes.
- Whisk in cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, almond extract, and egg white. Stir in almond flour, coconut, almonds, pecans, and sunflower seeds until thoroughly combined.
- Pour mixture into pan. Press down firmly with a spatula until tightly compressed.
- Bake for about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven when edges are slightly brown.
- Allow to cool completely. You can place it in the refrigerator to help it cool faster.
- Once cooled, gently pull the parchment paper up to lift the uncut bars to a cutting board. Cut into 16 even bars.
