Keto Chocolate Chip Bars

By autodidact

Look no further for a satisfying, sweet, chocolate chip dessert. These are easy, and similar to the real pan cookies! The basic recipe was found on the back of the bag of almond flour, but I changed it up to suit me.

Beat together 2 tablespoons of butter with 1/2 cup monkfruit granules. Add 1 egg, then 1/4 cup of any milk-type product. I used real cream, but almond or coconut mill would do. Add 1 teaspoon vanilla.

Add 1 cup almond flour, a pinch of salt, 1 teaspoon baking powder and mix well. Then add 1/4 cup chopped nuts of your choice and 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Mix until just blended.

Spread in a greased 8x8 pan and bake for 30 minutes at 350°.

For extra chocolate, you can add 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, and have more of a brownie.






I could not get to them fast enough to take a picture of the entire pan, and as you can see, the 9 year old's fork was flying back and forth from the plate to her mouth. She did say that the added whipped cream was a nice addition. But it's totally optional.

Merry Christmas! Here are a few highlights from this past year: Deb hosted her youngest siblings at the barn and put them to work, then gave them a chance to ride Gypsy. She is still with CCF as a Medic and enjoys her job. She has been trail riding a lot, travelling and competing with her horse Gypsy, and branched out in her costume making hobby to make a Medieval costume for a friend's horse. The biggest change in Deb's life this past year is the addition of a cat named Toby! Lewis and Kaitlynn are enjoying their home and and yard. Kaitlynn is working as a legal secretary and has made a beautiful home for them both. When not working, Kaitlynn loves to make candles and bread, including sourdough. She is enjoying building their home library with more classics than she can shelve (be still, my heart), reading, and playing piano. Lewis built two beautiful bookcases for their growing library. He works hard to keep the highway safe and has won some awards, including Trooper of the Y...

             Christmas   Greetings from the Marinos! A few news items from our house: Deb officially adopted Gypsy and works at the barn for her room and board when she is not doing her paramedic job or making beautiful quilts. Sometimes she is working on our side of town and crashes at our place and then hangs out with us for a while. I love it when she does that! Lewis and Kaitlynn tied the knot just this month! We are all so happy for the newly wedded couple and thankful Kaitlynn is a part of our family. Margie and James and their passel of cats continue to live in warm, sunny AZ. Margie traveled to San Diego and also conquered her fear of flying alone and came to Cleveland for the wedding. Jared is working steadily toward his associates degree and continues to write, create, make music and entertain his siblings. He recently taught himself how to bind books, and he is becoming conversational in Italian.           ...

*** Greetings to you all as we near the end of another year, a year much unlike other years. This will be a long letter; but you are probably locked in your house with nothing better to do anyway, so enjoy! In January, we said goodbye to our rental property and sold it. It was our first home as a married couple, and we spent 10 years on both sides of the duplex raising our first three children. It was bittersweet and freeing at the same time. Jay was freed up to work on projects in our own home, and the sale proceeds generated cash for big projects, such as a new roof and skylights, new patio and fence!  The patio was the last project of the season, and it was finished in time for us to enjoy it a bit before the cold weather set in. Because of all the work done on the house, Jay did not get to garden as usual, but next year, with a deer proof fence and no interference from projects, he should be good to go! Early on in March, we all leisurely put together a 2000 piece puzzle of his...
