These amazing bars are only 145 calories and taste like a cinnamon roll in healthier, gluten-free form. Big satisfaction for busy mornings!
Think of this breakfast like an irresistible cinnamon roll, rich and aromatic, but in easy bar form. It’s got all the swirls of spicy cinnamon and sweet goodness, alongside the cream cheese flavor you expect when you take the first bite into a fresh-from-the-oven pastry. But it’s keto, gluten-free and made with a bunch of really good ingredients. And WAY EASIER on your hectic morning schedule. HELLO breakfast!
I think they’re pretty much the perfect way to start the day eating healthy, without having sacrificed for it. I could almost have named these bars “How to Be Awesome: Breakfast Edition.” And they’re pretty much guaranteed to appeal to everyone in your household, kids too if you have them. AND you can make a bunch in advance and keep them in the fridge for days, or the freezer for weeks. Pretty crazy-good!
Are Sugar-Free Keto Low-Carb Breakfast Bars Healthy?
If you’re trying to reduce carbs, these breakfast bars are a good choice and give you a lot of the sensory satisfaction of cinnamon rolls. Using monkfruit sweetener instead of sugar significantly reduces carbs, as does replacing wheat flour with nutrient-dense almond flour and a touch of coconut flour. The result is a sweet-tasting treat with just 7 grams of carbs and 145 calories per serving. That said, if you’re watching your fat intake, these bars may not be the best choice for you.
Why You’ll Love These Keto Breakfast Bars
Internet friends, if you’re looking for a breakfast recipe that is:
Made of really simple, minimal ingredients

Then this low-carb breakfast bar recipe is for you.
How to make ahead and store
Cool the bars completely, then store them with parchment or wax paper between them in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to a month; let them defrost at room temperature to avoid them drying out.
Serving Suggestions
Your favorite morning beverage like coffee or tea is maybe all you want with these keto bars. If you’re looking for more protein in your breakfast you can have them with a glass of milk, or try this Peanut Butter Smoothie. And variety is the spice of life, so mix up your mornings with Granola Bars or this savory Low-Carb Keto Breakfast Casserole.

Total: 35 minutesminutes

For the Bars:
4ouncescream cheesesoftened to room temperature
1/2cupmonkfruit sweetener
1large eggat room temperature
1egg yolkat room temperature
1 1/2teaspoonspure vanilla extract
1 1/2cupsalmond flour150 g

For the Drizzle:

2 1/2teaspoonsmonkfruit sweetener
1 1/2teaspoonsmilk of choice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line the bottom of an 8-inch pan with parchment paper, rubbing the sides generously with oil or nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, using an electric hand mixer, beat the cream cheese and monkfruit until fluffy and combined, scraping the sides as needed.
Add in the egg, yolk and vanilla and beat until combined.
Add the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt, and stir until well mixed.
Transfer to the prepared pan and press out evenly (using VERY lightly damp hands will help a lot here.)
Bake until the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool COMPLETELY in the pan.
Once cool, whisk the softened cream cheese and monkfruit together. Then, add the milk of choice and whisk until thick.
Transfer to a small piping bag (or a Ziploc with the tip cut off) and pipe a thin drizzle onto each bar.
