Low Carb Breakfast Bars
I’ve been a fan of easy, grab and go breakfast bars since the days when my mother would leave one with a glass of milk waiting for me. Considering how much I’m missing them and how sick of eating eggs for breakfast I am, I set out on making Low Carb Breakfast Bars.
I love these breakfast bars because they are beyond easy to make and they are SO tasty. They are firm but still melt in your mouth just like a dense peanut butter cookie.
I do love me a good peanut butter and chocolate combo too. Now I have to stop myself from getting too obsessed with these peanut butter bars of deliciousness.

These granola bars look great! Saw your post on the Weight Watcher’s Love board.
While these are full of great flavor and healthy ingredients, they don’t stay together like “bars” at all. Mine just crumbled apart. I mean I still ate them 🙂 but they need another binding agent to be portable like bars.
Looks yummy! I’m going to make this!
Hope you enjoy it 🙂
Made these the other day, they are delicious. Delicious and somewhat portable. Mine came out a bit crumbly. I doubled the recipe, so I might have mis-measured something. Although i got a great idea from the crumbly bars-I think this would make a good cereal or granola!
This sounds so yummy! Too bad that I don’t have any sugarfree chocolate chips nearby to buy 🙁
Amazon almost always has them in stock 🙂 that’s usually where I get mine!
I made these with walnuts and pecans and they are delicious! I keep them in the freezer and they are ready to eat right away. It’s so much easier to grab a protein bar when you’re on the go or don’t feel like cooking. Thank you so much for a great recipe that makes this WOE a little more convenient.
Walnuts and pecans sound like a delicious addition! I’m really glad to hear you that you’ve enjoy them, Sheryl 🙂
Would it be alright to use the whole egg instead of just the egg whites?
It could affect the consistency and flavor a bit but its certainly worth a try. Hope you give the recipe a try, Roze 🙂
Hi,
I just found your website and the recipes look good. However, when you use peanut butter, is it always natural? Also, what brand do you usually use?
Thanks.
I have made these using whole eggs and they turn out great. Keep them in the freezer for a quick breakfast or snack. They are delicious. Thanks for the great recipe.
We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the recipe, Lisa. Thanks for stopping by!
Looks so delicious. Love the pictures and the recipe of course. 🙂 There is now way I will skip on this, gonna try this out this weekend.
I love this recipe. It is my go to breakfast cookie. I always try to keep several in the freezer. Even the non low carbers in my family love it. I make several variations of this by mixing up the nuts and adding LC freeze dried fruit or toasted coconut flakes instead of chips. If I am low on peanut butter I use an all natural Tahini butter. It works great.
I just loved it!
Wow! Delicious! I’ll make this recipe at home
This recipe seems to be incredible, I’ll do it today, congratulations and thanks for the recipe!
