Keto Peanut Butter Cookie Bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup unsweetened peanut butter
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup Swerve Brown Sugar
- 1/2 cup milk chocolate Lily's chocolate chips
- Sea salt optional; for topping
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 F.
- Line a 9×9 or 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang so you can easily pull out the cookie bars.
- Into a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer, add peanut butter, egg, vanilla extract, and Swerve Brown. Mix with a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Add mixture to the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with the back of a spoon or spatula. If desired, sprinkle sea salt to taste on top of the mixture.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- If the bars aren’t yet set in the middle, cover the pan with foil and bake for another 6-12 minutes. The bars will firm as they cool, so be careful not to overbake.
- After baking, allow the bars to cool, then transfer the bars to a cutting board using the parchment paper. Cut into 16 pieces.
