Absolutely A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!
This recipe took some serious creative effort on my part. I searched everywhere for ideas and inspiration on how to come up with a keto pumpkin chocolate chip bar. A lot of recipes use eggs, and I didn’t want overly eggy granola bars and the texture isn’t ideal. This is why I chose to only use egg whites, which turned out great!
Most granola bars are overly sweet to me as well. I wanted to come up with a true granola bar-style recipe, but find a way to make it keto and still be delicious.
The hard part about granola bars is getting them to stick together. Traditional granola bars use syrups, honey, or lots of sugar to hold everything together. So for this recipe, the “glue” is melted coconut oil, pumpkin puree, egg whites, and keto confectioners sweetener.
