Not only are these bars are so delicious, they are so easy to make! The crust is made with nutty, almond flour and the filling with tart, jewel-colored blueberries. Make the crust and then reserve some of it for the streusel topping. Bake until golden brown and delicious!
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat an oven to 350 F. Combine the melted butter, almond flour, ½ cup Swerve confectioners sugar, and ¼ t kosher salt together in a mixing bowl.
Step 2
Press ⅔ of the crust into the bottom of an 8” x 8” glass pan. Bake for 7 minutes. Remove to a cooling rack.
Step 3
In the meantime, combine the blueberries, ¼ cup Swerve confectioners sugar, xanthan gum, water and a pinch of kosher salt. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 10 minutes or so until the mixture has thickened and some of the blueberries are still intact.
Step 4
Taking the reserved topping, add cinnamon and combine well.
Step 5
Pour blueberry filling over the crust.
Step 6
Top with streusel topping and bake for 25 minutes until topping is golden brown. Cool completely before attempting to cut bars. Cut bars into 9 squares and then cut each in half to make 18 bars.
