Cherry Almond Bars

³ Description

I have another delicious dessert recipe that would make a great addition to your holiday table! It was inspired by a white chocolate raspberry bar recipe (unhealthy) that I normally make every year for Christmas! I wanted to clean it up, so I wouldn’t feel bad about eating more than 1!

² Ingredients

•  1 cup Frozen Cherries
•  1/2 oz Dried Chia Seeds
•  1/2 tsp Baking Powder (Low Sodium)
•  1 serving (serving = 1 packet) Whole Foods Market Stevia
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) Tone's Pure Almond Extract
•  3/4 serving (serving = 1 cup) Kirkland Signature Greek Yogurt
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 cup) Now Foods Almond Flour
•  1 serving (serving = 2 tbsp) Coconut Secret Raw Coconut Flour

q Directions

Bottom Layer
3/4c almond flour
1/4c coconut flour
1/3c baking stevia (adjust to desired sweetness)
1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4c greek yogurt (applesauce for paleo)
1/2 tsp almond extract

Top Layer
1 1/3c frozen cherries
1 tbsp chia seeds
1/2 tsp almond extract
1 3/4 tsp coconut flour
1/4c baking stevia (adjust to desired sweetness)

Directions:

1. Pre heat your oven to 350 degrees.

2. Line the bottom of your loaf pan with parchment paper. (Trace the bottom of the loaf pan and cut the paper so it fits inside)

3. In a bowl combine your ‘bottom layer’ ingredients.

4. Evenly spread your batter in the bottom of your loaf pan.

5. Bake for ~ 35 minutes.

6. While your base is baking put your cherries in a microwave safe bowl and thaw.

7. Mix your chia seeds into your cherries and allow them to sit for 15 minutes.

8. Mix your stevia, almond extract and coconut flour into your cherries. (The fruit should be thick, almost jelly like)

9. When the base is done baking. Remove from the oven and spread your cherries on top.

10. Return your pan to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until fruit is set.

11. Allow to cool before slicing.
