Sweet, chewy keto baklava bars inspired by Lebanese flavors. Made with roasted nuts, a buttery almond flour base, and sugar-free syrup. Perfect for anyone on a keto diet or cutting sugar.
Base
1½ cups almond flour
¼ cup coconut flour
½ cup melted unsalted butter
2 large eggs
¼ cup erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
1 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Nut Filling
1 cup chopped walnuts
½ cup chopped pistachios
¼ cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 tbsp melted butter
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1–2 tbsp keto sweetener
Syrup
⅓ cup allulose or monk fruit syrup
¼ cup water
1 tsp lemon juice
½ tsp orange blossom water (or rose water)
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line or grease an 8×8-inch baking pan.
In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, salt, eggs, vanilla, and melted butter. Press mixture into pan.
Toast chopped nuts in a dry skillet for 3–4 minutes. Mix with melted butter, cinnamon, and sweetener. Spread evenly over the base and press lightly.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until edges are golden and center is set.
While baking, simmer syrup ingredients for 5–7 minutes until slightly thickened.
Pour syrup over warm bars right out of the oven. Let cool completely before cutting.
Toasting the nuts adds more flavor
Use cardamom instead of cinnamon for a deeper flavor
Bars are better the next day after syrup soaks in
Store in fridge up to a week or freeze for later
