Equipment
- 8x8 inch baking pan
- Parchment Paper
- Large mixing bowl
- Medium Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup erythritol sweetener for the crust
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter melted
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3/4 cup sugar-free raspberry jam or your favorite flavor
- 2/3 cup powdered erythritol sweetener like Swerve Confectioners, for the glaze
- 2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons keto-friendly sprinkles
Instructions
- Get Ready: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy lifting later.
- Mix the Dough: In a big bowl, combine the almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract. Stir everything until the dough starts to come together and form clumps.
- First Bake: Press slightly more than half of this delicious dough evenly into the bottom of your prepared pan. Bake for just 10 minutes until it's lightly set.
- Cool & Fill: Take the pan out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes. Once cooled, gently spread your favorite sugar-free jam over the baked crust.
- Top it Off: Crumble the rest of the dough over the jam layer, making sure to cover it completely. Lightly press it down with your hands to create an even top crust.
- Second Bake: Pop the pan back into the oven and bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping looks beautifully golden brown.
- Chill Out: Let the bars cool down completely at room temperature, then transfer them to the fridge for at least 1 hour to firm up properly – this makes them super easy to cut!
- Whip Up the Glaze: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sweetener with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Add a little more cream (or a tiny bit of water) if you want a thinner, more pourable glaze.
- Decorate & Serve: Spread this lovely glaze evenly over your chilled bars and sprinkle with keto-friendly sprinkles for that classic pop tart look. Return to the fridge for about 30 minutes to let the glaze set firm.
- Enjoy! Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper edges, slice into 16 individual bars, and savor your healthy, homemade treat!
Notes
These Keto Pop Tart Bars are a fantastic low-carb, sugar-free treat! Feel free to use your favorite sugar-free jam flavor. For the glaze, powdered erythritol sweetener like Swerve Confectioners works best. You can adjust the amount of heavy cream in the glaze to achieve your desired consistency.
