Decadent Keto-Friendly Blackberry Bars

I always associate fresh, sweet and tart berries with summertime. They’re a favorite sweet treat of mine! You’ll have a hard time believing these decadent blackberry bars are keto-friendly!

These delicious bars are easy to make with just 8 ingredients, and they’re ready in less than an hour. These blackberry bars can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to  a week, though they won’t last that long!

Start by preparing the blackberries in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Combine 2 cups of the blackberries (the recipe calls for 3 cups so don’t use them all!) and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat and simmer until the berries are soft.

Take the pan pan off the heat and whisk in swerve and xanthan gum. Next, smash the softened blackberries. Stir in remaining 1 cup of blackberries until combined. Set aside while you prepare the crust.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line an 8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave the paper overhanging 2 sides of the pan – it makes for easy removal.

Whisk together the almond flour, confectioner’s swerve, and salt. Add the butter and vanilla and use your hands to combine the ingredients until the mixture is combined and in pea-sized crumbles. Don’t skip making the crumbles – it’s important to make the best topping!

Take half of the dough and press it evenly into the bottom of the pan. Partially bake (also known as parbake) the crust for 12 minutes, until just beginning to brown. Pour the filling over the par-baked crust and then crumble the remaining dough evenly over the top of the filling. Bake for 22-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown. Remove from the oven and let it cool completely.

These blackberry bars are so simple to make and delicious! Your family will ask you to make them often, so be ready!
