These wholesome keto blueberry breakfast bars are a perfect sugar-free treat for a healthy start to your day or a delicious snack. Easy to bake and full of flavor!
1. Prepare the Blueberry Filling: In a medium saucepan, gently combine the blueberries, water, and allulose sweetener. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes until the berries are soft enough to mash easily. Lightly mash them. Sprinkle the glucomannan or xanthan gum over the surface and whisk vigorously until the mixture thickens. Set this delicious filling aside to cool.
2. Make the Crumbly Crust: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8 inch metal baking pan. In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Pour in the melted butter and vanilla extract, stirring until the mixture starts to clump together, forming your crumbly crust.
3. Bake the Base: Press half of this crumbly mixture firmly into the bottom of your prepared pan to create a solid base. Bake for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and let it cool for another 10 minutes to help it firm up nicely.
4. Assemble Your Bars: Once the crust has cooled, spread the blueberry filling evenly over it. Take the remaining crumb mixture and sprinkle it generously over the blueberry layer. Gently press the top crumbs into the filling just enough so they adhere.
5. Final Bake: Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely before slicing and serving – this step is key for perfect bars!
