Start your day the keto way with these delicious and easy-to-make banana breakfast bars. Packed with healthy fats and protein, they're the perfect grab-and-go snack or breakfast!
Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking pan.
Combine Dry Ingredients (Part 1): In a food processor, pulse together the flaked coconut, sliced almonds, and hemp seeds until they resemble coarse oat flakes. Transfer this blend to a large mixing bowl.
Combine Dry Ingredients (Part 2): Add the almond flour, Swerve Brown, collagen protein powder, and baking powder to the bowl with the coconut mixture. Stir everything together well.
Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter, crack in the egg, and add both vanilla and banana extracts. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and a dough forms. If you're using chopped nuts, gently fold them in now.
Bake to Perfection: Press the mixture firmly and evenly into your prepared baking pan. If adding chocolate chips, sprinkle them on top and lightly press them down. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the edges are beautifully golden brown but the center still feels slightly soft.
Cool & Slice: Let the bars cool completely in the pan – this is key for them to firm up perfectly. Once cooled, slice them into 16 delicious bars.
