Low carb, keto friendly baklava bars with caramel sauce (toffee), sugar free, gluten free, with a dairy free version and also diabetic friendly!
Keto / Low carb
I'm sure these are the most delicious keto bars you've ever tasted!
The aroma and flavor reminiscent Greek baklava and that's why I named those "baklava bars".
The coating of course makes the difference as it gives the caramelized texture that suits these bars.
Cinnamon and cloves passed incredibly well with walnuts but you could skip those if you want a strong milk caramel flavor.
You can of course use almonds instead of walnuts but I would recommend everyone to try the recipe as it is.
Try to show restraint and not eat these bars all in one day!
