I wouldn’t necessarily say that these Paleo Date Walnut Bars are low-carb, but they are certainly lower-carb than a traditional date bar recipe. Using almond flour in my gluten-free recipes helps to lower the carb count right off the bat. Reducing the amount of sweetener in my recipes helps too!
These Date Walnut Bars are sweetened with one-quarter cup of honey, while most date bar recipes use a cup of sugar, or more. Given this, I consider these Paleo Date Walnut Bars a very healthy dessert! If you’re looking for something different and need sugar-free recipes, you’ll definitely want to check out my Keto Diet Recipes page!
This is another one of my super easy paleo dessert recipes that you can whip up without much fuss. We enjoy Date Walnut Bars for breakfast with a hot cup of tea, or for an afternoon snack, or for dessert following our dinner.
Both my husband and younger son really enjoyed this paleo dessert! My older son barely noticed them since they do not contain chocolate.

My family loves this recipe! We make it almost every week. Thank you, Elana.
Thanks Anne Marie! So glad to hear your family loves this recipe :-)
Can coconut flour be substituted for almond flour (since almond flour is so expensive) and if yes, what would the ratio be? Thank you.!

Hi, can I use coconut oil instead of grapeseed oil? Thank you
Zina, thanks for your comment I haven’t tried that so not sure.
I am following a low carb diet and was missing a satisfying sweet. I love this recipe! I made it with maple syrup instead of honey, used avocado/canola oil and omitted the dates. A perfect bite – the bar is moist and the flavour reminds me of an english butter tart. I “crunched” the nutritional numbers on this (the numbers might vary a bit depending on which website used) Assuming 10 servings per pan, with and without dates
Without dates: Calories 261, Fat 22g, Protein 8g, Carbs 11g, Fibre 2.6 gr, Cholesterol 56mg
With dates: Calories 311, Fat 22g, Protein 9g, Carbs 24g, Fibre 4g, Cholesterol 56mg
Without the dates, this recipe is perfect for my low carb diet. Thanks Elana!
Dee, thanks for letting me know you love this recipe!
