Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe (dairy free, Paleo)

I saw a similar recipe for chocolate chip cookie bars online but it was not gluten free by any stretch of the imagination. I thought I would see if I could change it to make it Paleo, dairy free and offer a nut free modification. This recipe is also low carb friendly when made with a low carb granulated sweetener, such as Swerve. I made them for my husband and he was very excited because he is still doing the keto diet, find his plan here. I also gave them to my family who are always eager taste testers. They loved them and asked for more. My husband said they reminded him of granola or cereal bars which in my book is a good thing because I used to be a cereal addict in my former life, pre-hashimoto’s and Paleo. I hope you love them. Please write me and let me know how they turn out for you.
