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

Low Carb Chocolate Chip Cookie Bars Recipe (Paleo and Dairy Free)

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.

    Hi Caitlin! Thank you for the awesome recipe! How well do you think coconut flour would work instead of sunflower seed meal or almond flour (intolerant of both) ? Thank you!

      What about cashew meal? Coconut flour would be too dry sorry.

    Please add the directions quickly! They are missing on your website within the recipe.

    I want to make these for a dinner party tonight and introduce your website and fabulous recipes to my guests who are new to ketogenic/paleo lifestyle. I am a breast cancer “surthrivor” who is convinced that ketosis shrunk my tumor before surgery. Happy to further discuss upon request.

    Thanks much!

    What happened to the directions? I’m thinking they were on here earlier, when I wasn’t connected to my printer, and now they’re gone.
