How to Make Keto Matcha Mint Bars

Ready to make these no-bake beauties? Follow our simple steps — you’ve got this!

1. Prepare the Crust: Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, cocoa powder, and stevia powder. Mix well, then press the mixture firmly into the prepared pan to form an even crust. Freeze for 15 minutes.
2. Make the Filling: In a medium bowl, blend coconut butter, avocados, stevia powder, matcha, peppermint extract, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled crust. Freeze until firm.
3. Prepare the Topping: In a small bowl, mix warmed coconut oil, cocoa powder, peppermint extract, and liquid stevia until smooth. Pour this topping over the firm filling and spread to cover evenly.
4. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the assembled bars for at least 30 minutes to set (or overnight for firmer bars). Slice into 12 bars and enjoy!

Simply Nourished Life’s Tips for Perfect Bars

We’ve got a few tips to help you nail this recipe every time:

• Soften Ingredients: Allow your coconut butter to soften at room temperature for easier mixing.
• Blend Thoroughly: Ensure no avocado chunks remain in the filling by blending ingredients well for a silky-smooth texture.
• Sweetener Swaps: If you don’t have stevia, use another keto-friendly sweetener like erythritol or monk fruit in equivalent amounts.
• Cut Cleanly: For clean slices, run a knife under hot water, wipe dry, and cut firmly through the chilled bars.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat these bars on a gluten-free diet?

Yes! These bars are naturally gluten-free and made with almond flour, which is safe for those avoiding gluten.

What’s the best matcha to use?

We recommend a culinary-grade matcha for its balance of flavor and cost-effectiveness. Look for bright green powder without added sweeteners.

Are there other low-carb sweeteners I can use?

Absolutely! Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener can replace the stevia in a 1:1 ratio.

Can I double this recipe?

You can! Just use a 9×13-inch pan instead of the 8×8-inch pan for larger batches.

Can I skip the topping?

The topping adds a nice chocolatey finish, but you can skip it or drizzle melted dark chocolate instead for a lighter option!
