I love this article. It’s a really great article. Thanks for sharing. It’s nice and related to our daily life. I really like your article. It’s really helpful. Thanks for sharing.
Great pic Kyndra! It looks delicious! 🙂
No nutrition facts on this?
I made these – quite good! However, I did try a few different things.
1) The recipe has no salt at all. I heavily sprinkled sea salt on some of the surface and really think it helped. It is rare to see a bar or brownie recipe with no salt at all. It really brings out both the chocolate and nut flavors.
2) I don’t have sugar-free chocolate. I chopped up an 85% cocoa chocolate bar and it worked well.
3) I baked it 20 minutes — at least in my oven, it wasn’t quite as brown and would probably give in a few minutes more next time.
4) I used the Swerve option.
All in all – this was *really* good.
Also wondering what the nutritional counts are. Thank you.
Sounds great, but I’m disappointed that you don’t post nutritional info….after all, this is posted as a low carb site. Every other low carb site posts this info with their recipes, what’s up with you?
First of all, your comment is very curt and not well received. “What’s up with me?” Well, the nutritional information is on more than 90% of the recipes on my site. I do it as a courtesy because I know that it is important to people. It is very time consuming and is not something that I am required to do. As if providing free recipes and information wasn’t enough?? Would you like me to also cook it for you? Sites like myfitnesspal, fat secret, live strong etc are great for entering your ingredients from a recipe and coming up with nutritional information.
Go Kyndra!
Absolutely! Go Kyndra! I appreciate all that you do for us low carb recipe hunters. I can certainly figure out my carbs if you can provide the recipes. Thank you!
Took me 10 seconds to import the recipe into Fitness Pal and a couple minutes to correct some of the ingredients since it wanted me to use a fried egg lol. I just made the blueberry pancake bites, which my husband loved and I will be buying some of the missing ingredients to make this tomorrow. I am trying to get him to eat better snacks instead of Walmart apple pies and muffins. He loved the bites and is looking forward to me cooking again tomorrow. I so appreciate all that you do and hope you continue sharing your recipes with us. Thank you
Nice! I was wondering where the nutrition info was, as well, but I do have enough sense to plug the info into my app and calculate what I’m using, since you could potentially use this as a jumping off point for variations of the recipe. For example, not all almond flours are the same nutritionally-I’m leaning toward trying this with unblanched almond flour, that pirate boy peanut butter, and tollhouse dark chocolate morsels. Probably not enough carbs to kick me out of ketosis, but probably nowhere close to your recipe’s carb count either. People can be so rude online-take a grain of salt with that comment and let it go. I appreciate every free recipe you share, Kendra!
So well said lol
Maybe you should take some personal responsibility for your own health and well being Marsha. What a rude and entitled attitude, do you want a participation trophy too?
They look great Kyndra and I will try them this afternoon! It is very easy to put the info into MFP to get the nutrition info. Sorry that some people can’t be more respectful and just say thanks!
You do great work have tried lots of your recipes their Fab!
These look amazing. I am baking tonight. Thank you for your TERRIFIC recipes. I am 2+ years into this WOE (and minus 90 lbs) and love your site….it is my go to favorite.
I just made a batch and the batter was delicious!!! Can’t WAIT to eat one!!
These look fabulous, will be making some this weekend! And by the way, I really appreciate all that you and other bloggers do, it makes my life so much easier and better. Thank you and Mwrry Christmas
Oh – wow! Two of my favorite foods together! I can’t wait to make this (I’m going to try to make my own sugar free chocolate so we’ll see how that works!) Great dessert/snack idea (only 161 calories according to My Fitness Pal)

I didn’t have any peanut butter so I modified your recipe using almond butter, tossed in some toasted coconut, and had Chocolate Coconut Almond Butter bars instead! And they did not disappoint! I used swerve and added a little extra baking time because my oven took a little longer! Thank you for the recipe!
Made these today and they were such a nice treat. I baked in an 8 x 8 pan however mine were about twice the thickness and crumbled quite a bit. Any idea what could have gone wrong? Excellent with a cup of Lady Grey this rainy afternoon.
