Keto German Chocolate Bars
When I got married, my mom made a recipe book that included many of our family favorites. I’ve used that recipe book over and over throughout the years. As I’ve been thinking ahead to the holidays and continuing to follow a ketogenic/low carb lifestyle I thought maybe I could tweak some of my mom’s recipes to make them keto/low carb friendly.
Although this is usually a pie recipe and there are keto/low carb pie crust recipes online, I really wanted something quick and super easy to make. Last night I tweaked the recipe to make these keto-friendly German Chocolate Bars instead. I think this might be my favorite keto friendly dessert. It’s chocolatey, coconutty pecan little bites of goodness. If you love chocolate and coconut these German Chocolate Pecan Bars will blow your socks off.

Just made these the other day – not sure if I did something wrong, but after cutting the bars they just fall apart. Is there a way to make them hang together better? Love the flavor, though – they taste great, just a little tricky to eat! 🙂
I’m not sure. Mine didn’t fall apart. That is weird.
Hi, when I imported this into My fitness pal app (which thanks for telling me how!) It says 1 serving is 15 carbs? Do you know why it would do that? It’s definitely different from your calculations..just curious, I made them today and am now afraid to eat them! Hah
MyFitnessPal isn’t technically a keto app, so it doesn’t remove the sugar alcohols from Swerve making Sweve 0 net carbs. 🙂
Ohh ok thanks, hopefully they are alright!
Amazing! We love German chocolate. Great recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Sure! We love German Chocolate too.
After baking that hour, my husband suggested having brownies set overnight in refrigerator and they turned out yummy. Set decorative pecans on while still warm.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Kasey, these are amazzzing! Can’t go wrong with the combo of chocolate, coconut, & pecans! I love that they have that nice crust on top that resembles a brownie. Yum! I halved the recipe because I needed to be stingy with my Swerve. I baked for 25 minutes and they came out perfect. I’ve never disliked one of your recipes and they’re always so easy. Thank you for all you do!
Awesome! I’m so glad you loved them. Thank you so very much for taking the time to comment. I appreciate your support and encouragement!
