These sugar free almond butter freezer bars are perfect for those who are trying to watch their sugar intake. They’re high in protein and healthy fats.
This recipe was created for my sugar-free friends!
I always use natural sweeteners in my recipes but lately I’ve been hearing from more of my friends that they want recipes that are low in sugar for health reasons. I too have been in need of a healthy snack I can have in the evenings when I have a sweet tooth. I usually have a fat bomb or a cup of tea to satisfy my craving but lately I’ve been wanting something new.
Enter my almond butter freezer bars!
These bars are high in protein (from the almond butterand gelatin) and are sweetened with stevia, making them low in sugar! If you’re not watching your sugar intake and would like to make these with honey or maple syrup they go for it! I’m sure they’ll taste amazing.

April 26, 2018 at 9:11 amThese are so awesome. I made them a few days ago and they are almost gone. My husband told me the best fudge I have ever made. And my youngest dd told me she wants these for her birthday. They are fairly addicting. Will be making them again.

April 23, 2018 at 12:36 pmReally want to try this yummy looking recipe but don’t want to use collagen or protein. Can I just leave it out?
The Coconut Mama
April 24, 2018 at 12:38 pmYes, you can leave it out.
Mimi
April 22, 2018 at 8:27 pmI just made this. It was very thin and runny when I put it in the pan before putting it in the freezer. Is this the correct consistency or should it be thick. Your bars pictured look thick. Guidance would be appreciated.

April 22, 2018 at 3:37 pmI am going to try this tonight. Looks yummy and keto and EFGT legal. I have cut sugar and very low on carbs. What are the macros on one serving such as carb grams, fat , protein and calories?

January 30, 2017 at 3:33 pmdoes coconut oil need to be melted when mixed in with the almond butter?
The Coconut Mama
February 9, 2017 at 10:29 amIt should be room temperature or liquid. If it’s too cold it’ll be difficult to mix.

January 28, 2017 at 10:00 pmCoco Mom, you must have read my mind. I was on FB looking at these delish recipes that my friend posted. In my mind I said, “How come no one ever posts any no gluten recipes?” I am on a no gluten, no sugar way of living. And right under her post…I find you. Thank you, thank you.
I will go get the ingredients tomorrow. AND TRY IT.

April 5, 2016 at 5:39 pmI have to tell you….I am a little gun shy of stevia since the detoxinista put out her post last week on how stevia made her stop menstruating. Are you convinced of stevia’s safety? What sweetener would you suggest I replace it with in the recipe? Thank you for all the great info you supply us with!

April 5, 2016 at 8:02 pmHi Annette,
I’ve read conflicting information on stevia as well. I go back and forth between using it. I like to use the powdered green stevia in most of my recipes, but it didn’t taste right in this one, so I used the liquid stevia instead. Raw honey or real maple syrup are excellent alternatives but they are high in sugar so only use a small amount if you’re watching your sugar intake.

March 30, 2016 at 12:47 pmI don’t have collagen powder or protein powder; could I use gelatin instead?

March 18, 2016 at 12:31 pmHi Tiffany, Love the look of these bars, and their lack of sugar!! Hope to try them out soon. Just a thought – some might like to sub carob powder for the cocoa. If I eat any sort of chocolate at night, I have a hard time sleeping! Plus, I just love using carob.
Thanks, Pat

How can i substitute the Collagen? something more simple?? please 😉
The Coconut Mama
March 21, 2016 at 8:36 amYou can use your favorite protein powder. I use collagen because it’s really good for you and it’s just protein. No sugar or carbs. 🙂

March 14, 2016 at 7:33 amCan I use liquid vanilla instead of the powdered?
The Coconut Mama
March 14, 2016 at 9:09 amHi Linda, yes! The powdered vanilla is stronger so I would double the liquid.
