Yep! MORE RECIPE VIDEOS FOR YA!

This Paleo Baklava Bars recipe now has a HOW TO RECIPE VIDEO below.

Hey there! Yes, the snack bar queen has returned! And I am claiming these paleo “baklava” bars the snack fo the Gods, Greek Gods. Ha ha! Totally makes sense because these bars are Greekish, right? . Okay they might not be the real deal baklava, but these sweet and nutty Paleo Baklava bars have been our latest obsession! A snack bar obsession means they are 110% worth sharing with the world!

HOW TO MAKE PALEO BAKLAVA BARS (1 minute video)

Easy 3 Step Paleo Baklava Bars {Vegan Option}

Let’s discuss the baklava flavor bar obsession, shall we?

Reason for baklava bar obsession number one…. they are super duper yummy.  And two…… they are paleo, lower carb, and vegan friendly. Which makes them another great FUEL source for many. For those of you allergic to nuts, I’m sorry I left you out. Forgive me. But you can make these no bake vegan protein bars instead. Mmm k? Lastly, reason number 3…. they make for a nice change in what we call, the bar stash.

If you’re like us, you probably have a huge stash of bars in your pantry. Right? Not just one kind, like SEVERAL kind. Protein bars, oat bars, fruit/nut bars, savory bars, vegan or paleo bars, chocolate bars, etc. etc. etc. You get my point. Bars are handy and convenient. But then there are times when just wanted something a little nutty and sweet but without all the dried fruit. Ya know?

Which is why I totally made these Paleo Baklava Bars. They are lighter is sugar and carbs (like these bars) but not lacking superfood nutrition! A paleo nut bar that is super moist (hate that word) and super delicious. Made with SUPER SIMPLE ingredients. Oh and of course vegan friendly if you want to use maple syrup. Always an option there.

You see where I’m going with this, right.? Simple REAL FOOD ingredients make for the best snackage..  that’s a word.

Chopped nuts, almond butter or tahini, honey (or maple syrup), spices, coconut oil, and almond meal. Yep. SIMPLE to the max!

All ingredients for Paleo Baklava bars arranged together on baking sheet

I bet now you are wondering. .. um… “Lindsay, how are these even relevant to Baklava?”

Oh oh but they are!

You see, baklava is a “rich, sweet pastry made of layers of filo/phyllo dough filled with chopped nuts and sweetened and held together with syrup or honey. ” Wikipedia

And while I might not have the filo dough in this recipe, I do have a flour like texture that makes them stick together. The almond meal and a touch of coconut flour. Think of these Paleo Baklava bars as deconstructed baklava all toasted and sliced. The foodie in me approves of that thought process!

If you are Greek, I’m sorry, I just butchered your beloved baklava dessert, but it might be totally worth it if you give these a try. Just sayin…

Did I mention these bars can be made in 3 little steps? JUST 3!

Step 1 involves pan toasting 

Step 2 involves mixing  and pressing

Step 3 involves refrigerating then slicing. 

No eggs needed, no refined sugars, no oven required, just a skillet to toast the nuts with coconut oil. Which is key because then your house will smell heavenly.

Excuse the fabulous fragmented grammar. I’m focusing in on this slice below!

Description

Healthy, vegan friendly, paleo baklava bars are packed full of sweet nutty flavor and healthy fats. Taste like dessert, but made with REAL FOOD.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • ½ cup chopped hazelnuts (see notes for substitutes)
  • ½ heaping cup chopped walnuts or pecans (about ½ c 2 tablespoon total)
  • ½ cup almond meal
  • 1 ½ Tablespoons coconut oil
  • ⅛ teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
  • ¼ cup honey (maple syrup or brown rice syrup for vegans)
  • ¼ – ⅓ cup creamy tahini or smooth almond butter
  • 2 Tablespoons coconut flour
  • Dash ground cinnamon, optional
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. First, make sure your nuts are chopped. It’s easier just to buy pre-chopped, but both work.
  2. In a skillet or pan, toast chopped nuts, almond meal, coconut oil , and salt until lightly coated toasted, about 2 minutes to 3 minutes max.
  3. Mix in honey until it bubbles, then remove from heat and let cool for 5 minutes.
  4. Next place your nuts in a bowl and mix in almond butter or tahini , extract, and coconut flour.
  5. Spread and flatten into 8×8 dish to cool.
  6. Refrigerate or freeze for 30 minutes.
  7. Slice into into squares and wrap each square in plastic wrap or foil to hold the texture.
  8. Keep in fridge due to coconut oil

Notes

  • Feel free to add in coconut or any other dried fruit to the mix when toasting nuts!
  • If you prefer, you can use pistachios versus hazelnuts, but they might not bind as well to hold the bars.
  • ESTIMATED NUTRITION PER BAR below. Varies depending on the nuts you use.

Now, since I know most of you all love a good bar recipe, please let me know if you try this or need substitutions. We made several batches and kept them in freezer until ready to eat or place in cooler. The only downfall (minor) that comes with these paleo baklava bars is that they will get soft in the heat due to the coconut oil. So be sure to keep in fridge or cooler when traveling. Trust me though, so worth it.

Favorite homemade bar recipe?  

Ever tried baklava? I should really add that to my list to attempt to make gluten free…

Cheers!

      Can you have tapioca starch or potato starch or arrowroot starch? I would try that instead of coconut flour. maybe 3 tbsp instead of 2 tbsp. Then use grapeseed oil or avocado oil for the coconut oil. A vegan butter could work but it might have soy. Keep me posted!

I also sub agave for the honey, which we don’t eat. So good! Tonight we were too impatient to wait for these to cool so I keep some out of the dish and crumbled it over soy ice cream…it was amazing! Tomorrow we’ll have the bars ;o)

    Hi,

    The baklava look fab!I avoid coconut oil (and butter) do you think they would work with light rapeseed oil or unflavoured oil?

    Also does your healthy bite book use a lot of coconut oil/butter? Do you give substitutions/quantities to replace coconut oil/butter if it is included in recipes?

    Thanks.

      I think that should work no prob. Maybe a little less oil since it’s already a liquid. And my healthy bites book uses mostly nut butters and honey or agave. I am updating them now though. Which one would you like to check out?

        I have no particular recipe in mind, it was a general question.

        I do not want to purchase the book if the recipes use coconut milk and coconut oil/fat and do not give substitutions or have not been tested using other oils – thanks again for taking the time out to reply, very much appreciated.

    Greek Easter was Sunday so it’s all good! I actually would have loved this last weekend because we went to a friend’s house for their Easter! These look delish!!! My last school district that I worked in, there were a lot of Greek people. One teacher in particular that I worked with made the most amazing baklava!! SOOO not good for you but oh so yummy!!!

    Baklava has been on my bucket list FOREVER. Maybe I’ll make these instead… will that count? 😉

    Other bucket list things I’m scared to make: macaroons, crepe cake, anything involving yeast.

    May the 4th be with you, bro.

    I adore this! My baklava love goes back in one to when I was working in Slovakia with some of my best friends I’ve had in life. Isn’t it awesome how good is tied to memories?

      I cannot find hazelnuts that aren’t mixed with other nuts. Could I just use both walnuts and pecans for the 2 nuts?

    I’m a little embarrassed to say that this post has me drooling. One of my best friends growing up was Greek and her parents owned a Greek restaurant. Baklava was a staple in her brown-bag lunches and she always shared with her friends. I think I need to make these ASAP.

    I grew up making baklava with my grandmother and boy, was it complicated! I haven’t made it since, but have been craving its flaky and slightly sweet flavor. This looks like such a perfect recipe to try!
