I just made these last night...they are amazing! I subbed in coconut extract instead of vanilla, used a bit more orange zest, subbed in some poppy seeds because I only had 2 tbsp of sesame seeds,...and added in some pumpkin seeds...when the bars came out of the oven...it was getting late, so I just chopped up the chocolate, and scattered it about on top and it melted in....cooled overnight,...and they are amazing! I think I had more zest than was called for in recipe...but just threw it all in to the melted butter, and added it all in...Great for on the go....or for when me and the hubs go biking and need a take-a-long snack! Dot, your recipes...ALL are fantastic! Thankyou so much!!!!
Dot, I LOVE this recipe!!! I've made them several times already, and keep them individually wrapped in the freezer for those "dash out the door" mornings. I love the cranberry "zing". The last time I made them, I had to "tweak" the recipe using things I had on hand. I used my husband's beloved Brazil nuts instead of walnuts, 1 1/2 teaspoons of maple extract instead of orange zest, and added 2 heaping teaspoons of confectioner's erythritol to the chopped nut mix before adding eggs.(Not enough to make them "sweet", just flavorful) After baking, cooling and drizzling with melted 92% cacao bar, I slapped the pan in the freezer for a few minutes while I stirred up a little confectioners erythritol glaze in a small bowl with water and a touch of heavy cream. I drizzled the glaze (using a tiny hole snipped in the bottom of a sandwich bag) overtop of the hardened chocolate. The glaze stayed on without breaking off (due to the heavy cream). They looked so beautiful...and turned out so incredibly tasty that my husband and two (non-keto) sons helped themselves to half of the batch before I was able to hide them in the freezer for myself. Now, I have to make 2 batches! The maple smell along with the roasting nuts is irresistible!
Just took these bars out of my oven,,yummy!!! They look just like yours Dots. Got 24 bars,,but in morning going to break one up and have myself a bowl of granola cereal in almond coconut milk. Thankyou dear friend for this great recipe!!!
OMG....I was thrilled when I came across this! I have missed having granola bars, especially on the go. I can’t wait to make these! And for the first time I actually have all the ingredients!
I love your channel so much! I started keto only three days ago and am already down 10 lbs (I know its water but Im still over-the-moon thrilled)!! Your recipes are absolutely wonderful, healthy, and so delicious (Ive already tried a few)!! Your videos helped me realize that you can STILL eat delicious foods on keto without the carbs/sugar and not feel deprived! Thank you for sharing all of your amazing recipes 😊😊
Dot, I have watched this video I'd say upwards of 20xs. I finally got all the ingredients together. This was by far the most labor intensive bars I've ever worked on. They smell so good and I'm pleased to say they are worth the work put into them to make. I was looking for a breakfast bar to take to work with me. Thank you for going thru all the steps one by one. They are most centrally a do over. I'll keep them on hand.
Michelle, you have no idea how good that makes me feel :) I really loved this recipe and had hoped someone would push through and give it a try. Thank you for letting me know!
It's a lot better then I thought it would be. Adding a few things took place of the cranberries; however I'll be adding those next time I make this. There worth the time it took. Thanks
Ohhh - I made these last night! DELICIOUS and easy. I am new to the keto life, Dot, I must say YOU are an inspiration and your information is one of the handiest tools I have found. THANK you THANK you ... THANK you so much!
Dot thanks for trail blazing to share recipes that are so amazing that one should never have to be bored or cheat on Keto for variety sake or satiation. Your videos are exceptional and I love how you prepare and show the blending process. Cheers to you and your great camera sidekick! I am salivating over the orange/cranberry bars! Will make tomorrow. Many thanks!!!! Dd
Okay - today I made the cranberries. I had a bag in my freezer. They turned out amazing! I have missed dried cranberries. I bought some freeze-dried ones a few years ago but they were weird and expensive. Tomorrow I will make the bars. Plan on taking them on a long weekend trip we are taking this weekend. Thanks girlie!!
Oh my goodness!!! These look amazing!!! I’m not one to try anything too fussy as I’m not a lover of cooking, but this I MUST try!!! Seems simple enough. I love love love your ‘how to’ videos!!! Thank you!!!
Your awesome! New to your channel , I’ve shared your channel with my friends. Thank you for all your time and efforts. Congrats on you weight loss journey.
I made them today ! Awesome! Taste good ! Thank You for wonderful recipe! I did not have dry cranberries, so I bought fresh one with a bit of monk fruit sweetener. It was goood!
I was JUST telling my hubs Granola Bars are a weird hangup (trigger) for me. I made my kids low carb granola bars "for lunches and snacks" and ate 2/3 of the pan myself!😬 I'll try this though!
New to your channel. I just made your cheesesteak Casserole. Its freaking amazing! I'm going to make your pizza casserole tomorrow. Keep the casserole's coming. One of the reasons I failed keto after being faithful for 18 months, I got tired of cooking all the time. Casseroles is something I can do to cook in advance and freeze. Also, can you link to the hazelnut flour you buy? I want to make this granola bar recipe and your pumpkin bread recipe. Thanks so much for the great recipes!
That's awesome, glad these recipes are actually being used :) Thank you! For hazelnut flour, there's a lot to choose from, but you can look for Bob's Red Mill at your grocery store, and if not there it's definitely on Amazon.
Another great video Dot. I'm def going to try this with a peanut butter here that is called Whole Earth which is so healthy and only contains roasted Peanuts (97%), Sustainable Palm Oil, Sea Salt. One major well know food supermarket called Iceland here has banned Palm Oil because of its devastating effects on wildlife, habitats and people where it is grown.
Just made a double batch. My family loved it. I am not a chocolate fan so I only put it in half. I added my sweater to them better than anything you could buy..... Delish
They look delicious. I weigh this morning and hadn't lost an ounce,,boo who. I didn't do the intermediate fasting this week too much for I thought maybe it was making me feel kind of weak. Well I know it was for I'm not use to skipping meals. But hoping for nice weather soon so I can start walking more. The bars look great. I will need some dried unsweetened cranberries. I'll check out your recipe for maki ng those. If not too time consuming I'll do it,,or either try to order from Amazon lol!! I miss oatmeal and cereal so much,,these bars should help,,thanks Dot!! Might could crumble the bar up add some unsweetened almond milk and eat as cereal? I'll let ya know if I try that!!
Dot, I have been making these bars several times a month for my husband and I for the past year. We love them so, so much! Unfortunately, after 2 years on keto my doctor wants me to cut back on saturated fat and do more of a Mediterranean keto because my cholesterol is up to 360 (hereditary). Is there a binder I can use other than butter or coconut oil that is more heart healthy? Maybe with almond flour?
Just bought the ingredients to make these, but these are the first bars I have ever made with eggs in them. Even though cooked, how long would you trust them to sit out? I like taking bars with me to work as a snack, so could be out for hours.
Dot, the link for making the dried cranberries isn't working for me. Please help as I have berries in the freezer. This recipe sounds awesome and can't wait to try! Thank for all you do to help us fellow ketoers.
oops, sorry, I just saw in the "Show More" section. So that is really a good treat with only 4 grams of carb. Still I think I'll wait for awhile to add it into my Keto plan; I'm early days yet for playing with carbs. I've enough trouble with just the veggies!
Hmm. Peanut butter is what helps make it sticky. You can use another nut butter. A really good one to use is "Tahini" -- sesame seed butter (high in fat). Not sure about the cacao nibs, but I'd think it would add a nice crunch.
Leigh, I don't have exact measurements on hand, but sure, you could sub those in. With coconut flour in particular, you'll likely need more liquid because it tends to absorb more water.
hefavors Me Such a gorgeous and delicious looking recipe. I'm definitely going to make this bar eventually. Thanks so much for this healthy recipe, Dot!
1.8g net carbs, 4 total per serving (1 bar). High/low/moderate depending on your goals. And as with all my recipes, you can leave out any ingredients you want :) Cheers.

I forgot to add....I use almond butter instead of peanut butter (PB gives my husband stomach upset).
That's great Angela!

Nice! So happy to see people actually making my recipes. Amazing feeling. Glad it worked out, and good move on the cereal.
OMG....I was thrilled when I came across this! I have missed having granola bars, especially on the go. I can’t wait to make these! And for the first time I actually have all the ingredients!
Very cool! Hope you enjoy it. Let me know how it turns out.
With the peanut butter, and cranberries, it must taste close to a peanut butter & jelly. They look amazing! Thank u. Can't wait to try them.
I love your channel so much! I started keto only three days ago and am already down 10 lbs (I know its water but Im still over-the-moon thrilled)!!

Thank ;you so much. I've been searching for granola that could be eaten on a low carb plan.
Thanks Dot for this recipe. I have made it a number of times and I just love it, especially with the Almond butter on top! Yum!
Thank you Dot. Love your work. My family is going to love this. Keep up these awesome video coming. Very much appreciated.
Ohhh - I made these last night! DELICIOUS and easy.
I am new to the keto life, Dot, I must say YOU are an inspiration and your information is one of the handiest tools I have found.

Thanks so much, Deb! :)
OMG - these look amazing! Not sure I could be trusted with a whole pan of those in the house :)
Totally agree with you on that.
Okay - today I made the cranberries. I had a bag in my freezer. They turned out amazing! I have missed dried cranberries. I bought some freeze-dried ones a few years ago but they were weird and expensive. Tomorrow I will make the bars. Plan on taking them on a long weekend trip we are taking this weekend.

It was a tough couple of days with them in my fridge!
Oh my goodness!!!
These look amazing!!!
I’m not one to try anything too fussy as I’m not a lover of cooking, but this
I MUST try!!!
Seems simple enough.
I love love love your ‘how to’ videos!!!

Loving the excitement! And glad you love the videos! :)
These look amazing. Wondering how your mom is doing...thanks for the great work.
Those look amazing ... good for a sweet keto treat....
Your awesome! New to your channel , I’ve shared your channel with my friends. Thank you for all your time and efforts. Congrats on you weight loss journey.
Thank you and glad you found the channel.
My mouth is watering!
Hi Dot, I tried the mushroom soup, omg, everyone at home loved it, I will be making this often, tkx for the recipe. Have a great evening.
That's awesome!
Thanks so much for sharing, am going to give these a try today
Dot, if you add your peanut butter to the melting butter it mixes with the solids easier.
Just gotta make sure not to cook those eggs with hot butter, but sure :)
I made them today ! Awesome! Taste good ! Thank You for wonderful recipe! I did not have dry cranberries, so I bought fresh one with a bit of monk fruit sweetener. It was goood!
Nice on the substitution. Glad you enjoyed them.
Thank
I will be making these! Thank you for the recipe!
I was JUST telling my hubs Granola Bars are a weird hangup (trigger) for me. I made my kids low carb granola bars "for lunches and snacks" and ate 2/3 of the pan myself!😬 I'll try this though!

Interesting, hadn't heard that. But yeah, you can substitute any healthy oil for it really (though I haven't tested others of course).
I'm making this today. Thank you.
Hope it worked out :)
Great recipe I'm looking forward to making it.
Oh my word! Those look yummy. I will be making these for sure. Love your videos
Thank you!
Great recipe!! Looks yummy. To chop nuts I simply put them in a plastic bag and give them a whack with a rolling pin.
Just made a double batch. My family loved it. I am not a chocolate fan so I only put it in half. I added my sweater to them better than anything you could buy..... Delish
That's wonderful -- thanks for letting me know :)
Omg! Looks delicious!
This looks so good !
Cranberry orange muffin looks yummy...which I can't wait to try. These are my favorite muffin
I would love to try these...💗
Yummmmmmy! Can't wait to try!
OMG this sounds so good!!! Too bad it is impossible to get cranberries this time of year!
That is a challenge, sadly. :(
Bulk Food section at my SaveOnFoods has bulk unsweetened dried cranberries: just used them for this recipe last night and are awesome!!!
They look delicious. I weigh this morning and hadn't lost an ounce,,boo who. I didn't do the intermediate fasting this week too much for I thought maybe it was making me feel kind of weak. Well I know it was for I'm not use to skipping meals. But hoping for nice weather soon so I can start walking more.
The bars look great. I will need some dried unsweetened cranberries. I'll check out your recipe for maki ng those. If not too time consuming I'll do it,,or either try to order from Amazon lol!! I miss oatmeal and cereal so much,,these bars should help,,thanks Dot!! Might could crumble the bar up add some unsweetened almond milk and eat as cereal? I'll let ya know if I try that!!
I really miss oatmeal :) And eating as a cereal is definitely a great idea, with almond milk. In fact, I should have mentioned it in the video :)
Dot, I have been making these bars several times a month for my husband and I for the past year. We love them so, so much! Unfortunately, after 2 years on keto my doctor wants me to cut back on saturated fat and do more of a Mediterranean keto because my cholesterol is up to 360 (hereditary). Is there a binder I can use other than butter or coconut oil that is more heart healthy? Maybe with almond flour?
These look yummy! Could you mix the peanut butter in with the butter to make it easier to incorporate?
Yes, you can put it in at any point. You just wanna make sure you put the butter in such that it doesn't cook the eggs :)
Hi...just made these again...forgot the eggs! but happy accident, as it makes the best loose granola for on top of yogurt!
That's great! Now I have to try :)
hey Dot not a big peanut butter fan but I will try it ..Question can I use Almond butter instead?
Haven't tried it, but it should work fine.
Dot, is the chocolate unsweetened? If so, could a little added Stevia kick it up a notch? This recipe looks awesome.
The chocolate is not unsweetened. It's 85%. You can go to 70% but that does change up the carb count too.
Dot2Trot's Low Carb Living thanks, Dot.
Just bought the ingredients to make these, but these are the first bars I have ever made with eggs in them. Even though cooked, how long would you trust them to sit out? I like taking bars with me to work as a snack, so could be out for hours.
Dot, the link for making the dried cranberries isn't working for me. Please help as I have berries in the freezer. This recipe sounds awesome and can't wait to try! Thank for all you do to help us fellow ketoers.
Linda, sorry, I've updated the description. Seems an errant semicolon got in there :) This should work:
ua-cam.com/video/uT-UgVWj8MM/v-deo.html
It is working now...thanks so much for this!
Thanks for updating the link. Can't wait to try this.
Wow, they look great! So, how many carbs per serving are they?
oops, sorry, I just saw in the "Show More" section. So that is really a good treat with only 4 grams of carb. Still I think I'll wait for awhile to add it into my Keto plan; I'm early days yet for playing with carbs. I've enough trouble with just the veggies!
only 1.8 NET carbs (don't forget to minus the fiber for net carbs :) )
...what can we substitute in for the peanut butter....coconut oil?...and add cacao nibs too!
Hmm. Peanut butter is what helps make it sticky. You can use another nut butter. A really good one to use is "Tahini" -- sesame seed butter (high in fat). Not sure about the cacao nibs, but I'd think it would add a nice crunch.
I want to make these but I do not have flaxseed in hand. I have almond flour and coconut flour. Can I sub either of those in?
Leigh, I don't have exact measurements on hand, but sure, you could sub those in. With coconut flour in particular, you'll likely need more liquid because it tends to absorb more water.
Dot2Trot's Low Carb Living Thank you Dot!!
Do you have a cook book
Wow I can taste those.. ummm.
Waiting on your recipe book if you don't have one already..
hefavors Me Such a gorgeous and delicious looking recipe. I'm definitely going to make this bar eventually. Thanks so much for this healthy recipe, Dot!
Yum.
Where is recipe?
Teresa Tuba the recipe is under the video..
Don't have one, but I hope to some day :)
Cranberry are extremely high I carb tho
1.8g net carbs, 4 total per serving (1 bar). High/low/moderate depending on your goals. And as with all my recipes, you can leave out any ingredients you want :) Cheers.
