The icing is decorated with colorful sprinkles in pink, blue, white, yellow, and orange scattered over the surface. The bars are placed on a white plate on a white marbled texture surface. A fresh red strawberry rests beside the plate, adding a pop of color. In the foreground, part of a crumb-topped pastry is visible but out of focus. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 ½ cups (280 g) almond flour
⅓ cup (66.67 g) erythritol sweetener (see tips for alternatives)
2 tablespoons (14.2 g) coconut flour
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup (113.5 g) butter, melted
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
¾ cup (168 g) sugar free raspberry jam (can swap other flavors)
⅔ cup (83.33 g) Swerve Confectioners
2 to 3 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
2 teaspoons keto sprinkles

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhanging edges for easy removal.
Step 2: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough begins to clump together.
Step 3: Press a little over half of the dough evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Step 4: Spread the sugar-free raspberry jam over the cooled crust. Then, crumble the remaining dough evenly over the jam layer and gently press it down to even out the top.
Step 5: Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let the bars cool completely before refrigerating for 1 hour to firm up.
Step 6: In a medium bowl, whisk the Swerve Confectioners with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream to create a glaze. Add more cream or water as needed to thin it out.
Step 7: Spread the glaze over the chilled bars and sprinkle with keto sprinkles. Return to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to set the glaze.
Step 8: Lift the bars out using the parchment paper edges and cut into 16 squares. Serve and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

For a different flavor, swap the raspberry jam with sugar-free strawberry or blueberry jam.
If you don’t have erythritol, monk fruit sweetener or allulose can be used as alternatives.
Make sure to fully cool and chill the bars before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting.
Use silicone baking mats as a substitute for parchment paper for easier cleanup.

Storage

Store these Keto Pop Tart Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze the bars wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and then foil for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight and warm slightly in the oven or microwave if desired.

How to Serve

A white tray holds a set of square dessert bars arranged in a grid, each bar with three layers: a crumbly golden crust on the bottom, a thick pink jam filling in the middle, and a smooth white icing on top. The icing is decorated with small sprinkles in colors like red, yellow, blue, and orange scattered evenly. One bar is held slightly above the tray, showing the layers clearly, while fresh red strawberries lie nearby on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these bars dairy-free?

Yes, you can substitute the butter with coconut oil and use a dairy-free heavy cream or coconut cream for the glaze. The texture may vary slightly but they will still be delicious.

Is it necessary to chill the bars before glazing?

Yes, chilling the bars helps the glaze set properly and prevents it from melting or sliding off. It also helps the bars hold their shape when cutting.
