Ingredients
Fruity Filling
- 1 cup raspberries fresh or frozen
- 2 tablespoons powdered erythritol sweetener (like Swerve Confectioners)
- 1 tablespoon allulose sweetener
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1/4 teaspoon glucomannan (or xanthan gum)
Bar Dough
- 3/4 cup creamy, sugar-free peanut butter
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup keto brown sugar substitute
- 1/4 cup collagen protein powder (optional, or use 1/4 cup more almond flour)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- First, let's make the fruity filling! In a medium saucepan, combine your raspberries, both sweeteners, and water. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring often, until the berries are soft enough to mash easily with a fork.
- Stir in the glucomannan (or xanthan gum) to thicken, then set it aside.
- Next, in a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and butter together until completely smooth.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, brown sugar substitute, collagen powder (if using), baking powder, and salt.
- Pour in the melted peanut butter mixture, crack in the egg, and add the vanilla extract. Mix everything until a soft, uniform dough forms.
- Line an 8x8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper and preheat your oven to 325°F (160°C).
- Press two-thirds of your dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust.
- Gently spread the raspberry filling over this crust.
- Take the remaining dough and crumble it over the top of the jam layer.
- Bake for 25 to 35 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the pan and let the bars cool completely before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into delicious squares and enjoy!
