I've been craving the raspberry crumble bars I make (sugarfree and lowcarb - keto) but hadn't had time to make them or even start to think about being able to (yep, it's been that insanely busy around here for the past 6 weeks or so) but today I was not only still craving them, but accidentally stumbled upon my old post featuring them from June of 2019... I'm taking it as a sign! I have a lot going on this morning and early afternoon but I'm holding out that around 3:pm I'll be able to sneak in a little kitchen time to get a pan of these into the oven! SO GOOD.
Red Raspberry Crumble Bars
2 c almond flour
2 T coconut flour
2/3 c Erythritol with Monk Fruit (you can use a granulated sweetener of your choice)
1/4 t sea salt
6 T butter, melted
1 t vanilla
2/3 c sugar free red raspberry preserves or jam of your choice
Whisk together the dry ingredients; almond flour, coconut flour,
sweeteners and salt. Melt the butter in cup in the microwave and add
the vanilla to it. Pour this into the dry mixture and mix with a
spatula until it starts to come together. Press just over half the
dough into a greased 8X8 inch pan.
Bake this bottom crust for about 10
minutes at 350 degrees. Take it out and let it cool for about 10
minutes.
Place the preserves in a bowl and microwave for a minute or so
to soften the preserves for spreading. Spread the raspberry filling
over the crust, getting up into the corners and sides as well. Now
crumble the rest of the topping over it all and press down lightly just
to adhere to the raspberry preserves, but don't flatten it. Return to
the hot oven and bake for 25 minutes until turning golden brown.
Remove from oven and let cool completely to cut.

Melt it a bit in the microwave for easy pouring and spreading over the crust.
I keep these in the refrigerator - they slice easily and taste... incredible!
