Keto Samoa Bars
{THM:S, Low Carb, Ketogenic, Sugar-Free}
Between the buttery crust, the caramel coconut filling or the delightful chocolate, these Keto Samoa Bars will make you forget there ever was a sugary cookie with this same name!
As I've spent time on Instagram and Pinterest, I've seen my fair share of modified Samoa Cookies. From sugar-free, to low, carb, and even keto recipes, they run the gamut between good, bad, and the worst.
But the biggest problem?
Well, besides that you never know if they're going to be good or bad?
There's never enough topping!
Let's get real here: the crust on a samoa cookie is simply there to act as a holder for the delicious caramel, coconut topping drizzled with chocolate! Kind of like a chip is only a dip holder in my world.
But back to samoas…..I decided to change it up and make these little bits of yumminess into big chunks of dessert in bar form.
So today I give you: Keto Samoa Bars
These Keto Samoa bars are easy enough to make that you can get it done before your kiddo wakes up from a nap, and healthful enough you can eat them without guilt!
For these, I pulled in the crust for my Keto Pecan Pie (from the Keto Holiday Cookbook), added in the caramel filling from my Keto Caramel Hazelnut Shortbread, and then added a hefty drizzle of Lakanto Sugar Free Chocolate (the ONLY keto chocolate my 5-year old daughter will eat!).
If you've been missing the flavor of these iconic Girl Scout Cookies, try these Keto Samoa Bars on for size!
Here's what you'll need:
Joseph's Lavash for the Crust, cut to size (approx. 1/2 Lavash)
1 T Grass-Fed Butter, melted
1 stick Grass-Fed Butter (I used KerryGold)
1/4 cup Golden Granulated Lakanto Sweetener*
1 cup unsweetened Coconut Flakes
1/2 tsp. Vanilla Extract
1 bar Lakanto Chocolate*

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350. Grease a 9×9 pan with coconut oil cooking spray. Cut your Joseph's Lavash to size, then lay it in the pan to make the crust. Brush with melted butter and bake until browned, about 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven. Break the Lakanto Chocolate Bar into pieces and lay evenly over the hot crust. Let sit about 10 minutes, until chocolate is melted, then use a spoon to spread it evenly over the crust.
Place the pan in the refrigerator to cool completely before moving on to the next step.
Make the caramel: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan on your stovetop using medium-low heat. Stir in the Lakanto Golden Granulated Sweetener and vanilla extract. Continue stirring, turning the heat up to medium-high, until the caramel thickens and turns an amber color. Stir in the coconut flakes, then pour over the prepared crust.
While the bars cool, melt the chocolate bar in a double boiler over medium heat. Drizzle over the cooling bars. Allow the bars to cool on the counter for 3-4 hours until firm, before placing in the refrigerator. Cut into 9 or 16 bars, depending on the size you desire.

Is there a substitute for the lavash? I can’t do gluten. And these look soooooo good!
Gretchen Lindow says
If you have a favorite gluten-free tortilla, it would work! Or, you could make a thin fathead dough. You’ll need to bake the fathead a dough a little longer to crisp up, but it should provide a nice crust!
Lara says
Looks sooooo good! Do you reserve part of the chocolate bar for the last step of drizzling it over the top? Or, should the recipe actually call for 2 chocolate bars – one for melting on the crust and one for drizzling? Sorry if I’ve missed this!
Gretchen Lindow says
I didn’t – but that’s an awesome idea and you definitely could!
