Keto Granola Bars Directions

Pulse it

Add cereal, pecans and salt to a food processor. Pulse until coarse crumbs form.

Get a large bowl

In a large bowl, stir together sugar-free maple syrup and olive oil. Pour in nutty cereal mixture and remaining ingredients. Stir until combined.
STEP

3

Spread it

Spread mixture into a foil or parchment lined baking dish. If using foil, spray the foil with cooking spray so the bars won't stick to the foil. Press down the mixture with the back of a greased spatula. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 to 40 minutes or until golden brown.

Remove & cool

Remove from oven. Let cool for 15 minutes before cutting into bars with a knife.
