Let's Begin!
Step 1 -Ā Prepare the tin
Preheat the oven to 165Ā°C fan.
Line a square baking tin or brownie tray with parchment paper.Ā
Step 2 - Prepare the granolaĀ
Add the fu:di Cocoa Granola to a food processor and pulse a few times until lightly broken down. You still want plenty of texture rather than a fine crumb.Ā
Transfer to a large mixing bowl. Ā
Step 3 - Melt the wet ingredientsĀ
Add the butter, nut butter, Low Carb Larder Caster Sugar Alternative and vanilla extract. Stir gently until smooth, glossy and fully combined.Ā
When all glossy, double cream to a saucepan over low heat.Ā
Step 4 - Build the flapjack mixtureĀ
Pour the warm butter mixture over the granola and fold thoroughly until every piece is evenly coated.Ā
The mixture should feel rich, sticky and lightly clump together.Ā
If it feels slightly dry, add an extra tablespoon of double cream.Ā
Step 5 - Press and bake
Transfer the mixture to the lined tin and press down firmly using the back of a spoon or a flat-bottomed glass.Ā
Compact the mixture well to help the bars hold together once sliced.Ā
Bake for 20-25 minutes until lightly golden around the edges.Ā
The centre should still feel slightly soft when removed from the oven.Ā
Step 6 - Finish with chocolate
Allow the granola bar to cool completely in the tin.Ā
Melt the dark keto chocolate with a tablespoon of coconut oilĀ gently and spread evenly over the top.Ā
Finish with a light sprinkle of flaky sea salt.Ā
Place into the fridge for 20-30 minutes to set before slicing.Ā
Step 7 - Slice and serveĀ
Cut into 14-16 bars or squares using a sharp knife.Ā
Serve chilled for a softer, fudgier texture or allow to sit at room temperature for 15 minutes for a more traditional flapjack bite.Ā
Chefās Tip!Ā
Pulsing the granola before mixing creates a better texture and helps the granola bars hold together beautifully while still keeping plenty of crunch.Ā
