These Low Carb Almond Coconut Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites are a must in our house. You can mix and match a variety of different nuts and seeds of your liking but I used my favorite ones which are in this recipe.
Making your own granola bars is not only super simple, it’s also much cheaper than buying them in the shops. They are tasty low in carbs and easy to customize. Ready in minutes! The flavor of the peanut butter and chocolate are a great match with the combination of seeds.
