Special Notes
Feel free to use whatever nut butter you want (almond, cashew or coconut almond). You can double this recipe to have more on hand as well.
Use whatever organic low-sugar chocolate you have and crush into small pieces. The Lily’s chocolate chips work great as well and they are sugar-free.
Dr Jockers Comments
This is an easy to make, fat burning, keto coconut bar that tastes great and can be used as a great snack to support ketone production. Keep these on hand in your refrigerator for a quick energy boost when you need it!
Coconut oil provides healthy medium chain fatty acids and coconut flakes provide great fiber for the microbiome. I like using the coconut almond butter as it provides the smooth and creamy taste of almond butter and gives you more of the coconut butter fiber.
If you are on an autoimmune, low-oxalate diet than I would recommend avoiding the nut butters and using coconut butter and keeping the chocolate out. The good news is that it still tastes amazing!!!

Hi DocJoc!
I toast the coconut previously to making this recipe.
I use half toasted and half plain.
I sweeten with stevia and just did add tablespoon or two more of
coconut oil so the bars are thinner after freezing.
I have even added melted cocoa butter to some.
Super duper recipe.
Thanks!
