Description

These Keto Pop Tart Bars are a low-carb, delicious alternative to the classic pop tarts, featuring a buttery shortbread crust, sugar-free jam filling, and a sweet sugar-free glaze. With only 2.5g of net carbs per serving, these keto-friendly bars are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while maintaining a low-carb lifestyle. Easy to make and customizable with your favorite jam, they’re a great treat for breakfast, a snack, or dessert.


Ingredients

  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup erythritol-based sweetener (or your preferred low-carb sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup sugar-free jam (ChocZero raspberry or preferred flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons whipping cream (or dairy-free milk alternatives)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Keto sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, sweetener, coconut flour, and salt. Stir in melted butter and vanilla extract until the dough starts to clump together.
  • Bake the Bottom Crust: Press half of the dough into an 8×8-inch baking pan lined with parchment paper. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes. Remove and let it cool for 10 minutes.
  • Add the Jam: Spread the sugar-free jam evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle the remaining dough over the jam and lightly press to even it out.
  • Bake the Bars: Bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let the bars cool completely before refrigerating for 1 hour to firm up.
  • Prepare the Glaze: Mix whipping cream (or dairy-free milk) with sweetener to create a smooth glaze. Drizzle over the cooled bars before serving.

Notes

  • Feel free to use any sugar-free jam flavor, like strawberry or blueberry.
  • Add a few drops of vanilla or almond extract to the glaze for extra flavor.
  • To make these bars dairy-free, swap butter for a dairy-free alternative and use coconut or almond milk for the glaze.
