Keto Pop Tart Bars: Guilt-Free Childhood Favorite
Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8×8 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, ensuring overhanging edges.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, erythritol sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in the melted butter and vanilla until the dough clumps.
- Press a little over half of the dough into the prepared baking pan and bake for 10 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes.
- Spread the jam over the cooled crust, then sprinkle the remaining crust mixture over the jam. Press lightly to even out the top crust.
- Bake for another 20 to 25 minutes, until the topping is golden brown. Let cool completely, then refrigerate for 1 hour to firm.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the powdered sweetener with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream. Add more cream or water as needed to thin the glaze.
- Spread the glaze over the chilled bars and sprinkle with keto sprinkles. Return to the fridge for 30 minutes to set the glaze. Cut into 16 bars.
Notes
– If your dough seems too crumbly to press, add a teaspoon more melted butter until it just comes together.
– When spreading the jam, leave a small border to prevent it from seeping out during baking.
– Store leftover keto pop tart bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze individual bars for up to 1 month and thaw in the fridge.
