Strawberry Nut Bars
Cookie & Bar, Dessert, Pie, Cake, Ice Cream
Ingredients
Bars:
2 1/4 cups almond flour
1/2 cup equivalent sweetener
3/4 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoons cinnamon
2 chia eggs*
3/4 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 cup nut butter slightly melted (I used almond butter)
3 tablespoons dairy free milk (I used almond milk)
Topping:
3/4 cup strawberry jam (recipe below)
1 cup chopped pecans
1/2 cup chopped unsweetened coconut flakes
2 tablespoons coconut oil
2 tablespoons equivalent sweetener
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 F.
To make the bars, combine the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the wet ingredients and add them to the dry ingredients.
Mix well to combine and press the mixture into an 8x8" pan lined with parchment paper.
Spread the strawberry jam over the bars.
To make the topping, combine all of the topping ingredients and sprinkle over the top of the strawberry jam.
Bake for 20-25 minutes (cover with foil if the topping starts to get too dark).
Allow to cool slightly and then cool completely in the refrigerator (about 1-2 hours).
Notes
1 chia egg = 1 Tbsp chia seed + 3 Tbsp water. Place the chia seeds in a small bowl and add the water. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, stir, and let the mixture sit for another 1-2 minutes or until completely gelled.
