Breakfast cinnamon bars are a warmly spiced, keto-friendly morning bar that tastes like coffee cake. Hemp seeds, pumpkin purée, and almonds mix with coconut oil, eggs, and swerve, then steam into a moist, sliceable bar in the Instant Pot. Cut into four bars and grab one on your way out the door.
Breakfast Cinnamon Bars
(Total Time: 25 MIN| Serves: 2)
Ingredients:
2 tbsp coconut oil
1 cup (240 ml) unsweetened almond milk
2 large eggs
1/3 cup (720 ml) hemp seeds
1 tbsp almonds, chopped
1/3 cup (720 ml) pumpkin puree
2 tbsp (30 ml) sesame seeds
Spices:
2 tbsp (30 ml) swerve
Directions:
- Line a small baking dish with some parchment paper. Set aside.
- Place coconut oil and swerve in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 1 minute. Whisk together and transfer to a deep bowl along with the remaining ingredients. Stir well and transfer to the prepared dish. Loosely cover with aluminum foil and set aside.
- Plug in the instant pot and pour in 1 cup (240 ml) of water in the inner pot. Position the trivet and place the baking dish on top.
- Seal the lid and set the steam release handle to the ‘’Sealing’’ position. Press the ‘’Manual’’ button and set the timer for 15 minutes on high pressure.
- When done, perform a quick pressure release by moving the pressure valve to the ‘’Venting’’ position. Carefully open the lid and remove the dish.
- Chill for a while and cut into 4 bars. Serve immediately.

Pro Tips
- Microwave the coconut oil and swerve together for a minute and whisk until smooth — this melts the sweetener so it dissolves completely into the batter.
- Use a parchment-lined baking dish so the bars lift out cleanly once chilled and cut.
- Cover the dish loosely with foil before cooking so the steam sets the bars without making the top soggy.
- Chill the slab before cutting into 4 bars — hemp-based bars slice much more cleanly once cool.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bars does this make?
Four hearty bars (two per serving at about 417 calories) — they're a full breakfast, not a snack.
Are they keto?
Yes — sweetened with swerve and built on hemp seeds and pumpkin, with just 5g net carbs per serving.
Can I make them in the oven?
