Ingredients
Scale
Crust and Filling
- 2 ½ cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup erythritol sweetener
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup butter, melted
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ cup sugar-free raspberry jam (can swap other flavors)
Glaze and Topping
- ⅔ cup Swerve Confectioners
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons keto sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhanging edges for easy removal later.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough begins to clump together.
- Form Bottom Crust and Bake: Press a little over half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Add Jam Layer and Top Crust: Spread sugar-free raspberry jam evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough mixture over the jam to cover it, then press lightly with your hands to even out the top crust layer.
- Bake the Bars: Bake again for 20 to 25 minutes until the top crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and let cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk the confectioners’ sweetener with 2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream. Add more cream or a little water as needed to thin out the glaze to a brushable consistency.
- Glaze and Decorate: Spread the glaze evenly over the chilled bars and sprinkle with keto sprinkles. Return to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the glaze set.
- Slice and Serve: Use the parchment paper overhang to lift the bars from the pan. Cut into 16 bars and serve chilled.
Notes
- Ensure the crust is pressed firmly to prevent it from crumbling when sliced.
- You can substitute erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners such as monk fruit or allulose depending on preference.
- Choose your favorite sugar-free jam flavor to customize the filling.
- Keep the bars refrigerated to maintain firmness and glaze set.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and heavy cream with coconut oil and coconut cream respectively.
- Use parchment paper to easily remove the bars from the pan without breaking.
