Ingredients

For the Crust and Filling

  • 2 ½ cups (280 g) almond flour
  • ⅓ cup (66.67 g) erythritol sweetener (see expert tips for more options)
  • 2 tablespoons (14.2 g) coconut flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup (113.5 g) butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup (168 g) sugar free raspberry jam (can swap with other flavors)

For the Glaze and Topping

  • ⅔ cup (83.33 g) Swerve Confectioners
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 teaspoons keto sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350ºF (175ºC) and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring there are overhanging edges to easily lift the bars out later.
  2. Make the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the mixture forms a clumping dough.
  3. First Bake of Crust: Press just over half of the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes to set the crust layer.
  4. Add Jam Filling: Spread the sugar-free raspberry jam evenly over the cooled crust, creating the filling layer.
  5. Top with Remaining Dough: Sprinkle the remaining dough evenly over the jam layer. Lightly press with your hands to create an even top crust, making sure to cover all the jam.
  6. Second Bake for Bars: Bake again for 20 to 25 minutes, until the top crust turns golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  7. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the cooled bars for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up for easier glazing and cutting.
  8. Prepare the Glaze: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Swerve Confectioners and 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Add additional cream or water a little at a time until the glaze reaches a spreadable consistency.
  9. Glaze and Decorate: Spread the glaze evenly over the chilled bars and sprinkle with keto sprinkles for a festive finish.
  10. Final Chill and Serve: Return the bars to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the glaze set. Use the parchment paper edges to lift the bars out of the pan and cut into 16 bars before serving.

Notes

  • You can swap the erythritol with other keto-friendly sweeteners as preferred but maintaining volume similar to erythritol is best.
  • Choose sugar-free jam flavors you enjoy; raspberry works well but strawberry or blueberry are great alternatives.
  • Ensure the bars are well chilled before glazing for easier topping spread and cleaner cuts.
  • Store finished bars in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute butter and heavy cream with suitable non-dairy alternatives, keeping in mind texture differences.
