Savannah’s Tips for the Best Coconut Bars
- Soften your coconut butter: It’s stubborn when cold — warm the jar slightly before scooping.
- Press hard: These bars hold together best when packed tight.
- Want extra flair? Sprinkle a little flake salt on top before chilling.
Why These Ingredients Work
Coconut butter and oil bring rich, clean fat that keeps you fueled. Macadamia nuts add buttery texture and crunch without the carb load. Monk fruit sweetener hits the sweet spot without wrecking your blood sugar. Simple, powerful, keto.
Make It Your Way
Skip the seeds if you want it pure and simple.
Swap macadamias for chopped pecans or walnuts.
Add cocoa powder for a chocolate coconut twist.
Toss in some cacao nibs or crushed freeze-dried berries for texture.
Storage Instructions
Refrigerate for best texture; freeze for long-term storage. Bars will soften at room temp but hold their shape unless it’s sweltering.
Savannah’s Tip: Individually wrap and stash a few in your bag — perfect for travel, road trips, or bad days at the office.
Smart Snacking Strategy
