A favourite mix of all the sugar free things I like most. Surprisingly quick and easy to prepare. Great for the lunch box or when you feel the need for a sweet something!

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Line a 20 x 20 baking pan with cling film.
  • Place syrup in large pyrex bowl and microwave for 1 minute.
  • Mix through whey protein isolate (WPI), vanilla and MCT oil until mixture binds together. If it is too wet add more WPI it is too dry add a little more MCT oil. Press into prepared pan.
  • Top nougat with prepared Dulce de Leche.
  • Sprinkle over nuts and press into caramel.
  • In a small pyrex bowl melt chocolate in microwave for 1 minute. Stir until melted. (Alternatively place bowl over saucepan of simmering water and melt chocolate. Drizzle chocolate over top of slice. Refrigerate until firm.
  • Using the tip of a sharp knife score slice into 16 bars (or 32 small bars).

Notes

  1. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
  2. Keto Caramel Nut Chew Bar can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
  3. Use any kind of nut of preference or omit completely.
  4. Clear Fibre syrup has no keto or low carb alternatives at this stage in Australia. Using a sugar free maple syrup or similar will not work in this recipe and will result in a grainy protein base.
  5. I choose to use Isopure Whey Protein Isolate. It is a gluten free, zero carb protein powder. You can substitute with dairy free or plant-based protein powders but I do not guarantee as good results.
