- 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup Swerve sweetener
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrots, almond flour, shredded coconut, and Swerve sweetener, mixing thoroughly to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Add wet ingredients: Stir in the melted coconut oil, cinnamon, and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes well combined and slightly sticky.
- Fold in walnuts: Gently fold the chopped walnuts into the mixture to ensure even nut distribution without breaking them up too much.
- Press and chill: Press the mixture firmly into a lined baking dish, creating an even layer. Refrigerate for 2 hours to allow the bars to set and harden.

- Make sure to use unsweetened shredded coconut to avoid extra sugar.
- If you don’t have Swerve sweetener, you can substitute with another granulated sugar substitute or honey, though the nutrition profile will change.

- These bars can be frozen for up to a month; thaw in the fridge before eating.
- Feel free to add raisins or dried cranberries for added texture and sweetness if desired.
