Description
A delicious keto-friendly dessert with a sweet blueberry filling and a coconut almond crust, perfect for breakfast or as a snack.
Ingredients
- For the Blueberry Filling:
- 1 cup (148 g) blueberries
- 2 tbsp water
- ¼ cup (50 g) allulose sweetener
- ¼ tsp glucomannan (or xanthan gum)
- For the Crust:
- 1 ¾ cups (196 g) almond flour
- ¾ cup (60 g) shredded coconut
- ½ cup (100 g) erythritol sweetener
- 2 tbsp (14.2 g) coconut flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 6 tbsp (85.21 g) butter (melted)
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Make the Filling: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the blueberries, allulose sweetener, and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes until the berries are softened and easy to mash. Mash the blueberries slightly, then sprinkle with glucomannan and whisk vigorously to combine. Let the filling cool.
- Prepare the Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8×8-inch metal baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough begins to clump together.
- Form the Base Crust: Press half of the crust mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
- Assemble the Bars: Spread the cooled blueberry filling evenly over the partially baked crust. Sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the top of the blueberries. Lightly press the top crust into the filling to help it adhere.
- Bake the Bars: Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until golden and bubbly. Remove from the oven and let cool completely before cutting into bars.
Notes
- Sweeteners: You can adjust the sweeteners to taste, depending on your preference for sweetness and the type of sweetener you use.
- Storage: Store the bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
