We are so excited about Easy Keto in 30 Minutes that we just had to share this keto peanut pecan bar recipe from the cookbook with you (with Urvashi’s permission, of course)! While Easy Keto in 30 Minutes is chalked full of amazing keto recipes, these keto peanut pecan bars are one of our favorites.
These keto peanut pecan bars are so smooth and creamy that they almost take on the texture of fudge. That fudge-like consistency coupled with the crunch of peanuts and pecans makes for a combination that is out of this world!
Other than fudge, these keto peanut pecan bars almost remind me of a praline simply because the texture is similar and because the ingredients (peanuts and pecans) are similar. If you like the texture of smooth fudge, the crunch of nuts, and the simplicity of a no bake dessert, you will absolutely love these keto peanut pecan bars!
There are so many things to love about these keto peanut pecan bars. Not only are they incredibly easy to make, and not only do they taste amazing, but they are also:
- Dairy-Free,

- Soy-Free
- Vegetarian.
No matter your food preferences, these keto peanut pecan bars will more than likely suit your needs!

Tips For Making These Keto Peanut Pecan Bars
These Keto Peanut Pecan Bars are, without a doubt, amazing already and perfect as is. But, if you want to customize them to fit your own personal preference and tastebuds, that’s not a bad thing either.
We’ve got some tips that may help you enjoy these awesome keto treats even more:
- Roast the pecans before adding them to to the peanut butter mixture.

Some chocolate chips would be an amazing addition to these amazing Keto Peanut Pecan Bars.ChocZero makes our absolute favorite keto friendly chocolate products, and their chocolate chips are to die for!

Even though these Keto Peanut Pecan Bars are not our own creation, we still believe that they taste best when sweetened with Lakanto’s Monkfruit Sweetener. We use Monkfruit for all of our sweet treats, and for any thing sweet that we make, really.
Monkfruit is the best keto friendly sweetener we have ever tried and its not even close. Monkfruit has no nasty aftertaste or cooling effect, it tastes amazing, it is zero glycemic, is completely natural, and has a 1:1 ratio to sugar which makes it really easy to convert traditional recipes to keto recipes!

I’ve made the Peanut Pecan Bars twice now and they’re great! I kinda freaked out at first because the mixture is so thin. But it sets up fine in the freezer. The pieces came out pretty thin, so second time I doubled the batch. As I was pouring it in the pan, I had an idea. I added 1/4 cup of cocoa to half the mix. I poured the plain mix in the pan, then blobbed the cocoa-fied mix on top and swirled it in. It made a beautiful marbled fudge that was even more delicious! Thanks for all your inspired and inspiring recipes!
