These raspberry shortbread bars are simply delicious! Stuffed full of fresh homemade raspberry jam and raspberry pieces, each bite fills you with a warm fuzzy feeling you can only get from such home-baked goodness. They are 100% vegan and gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
- 2 cups frozen raspberries
- 1 tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp chia seeds
- 1 tsp tapioca starch
- ¼ recipe shortbread crust (see above)
- ¼ cup chopped almonds
Instructions
-
1Preheat the oven to 180°C.
-
2Combine all of the crust ingredients together until everything is evenly mixed. Dough should be crumbly but still form a dough when pressed together.
-
3Spread the dough onto a greased baking tray(what size?). Press down slightly with a spatula until the layer is evenly spread over the bottom of the tray.
-
4Prick the crust all over with a fork. Bake for approximately 15 minutes in the preheated oven.
-
5Remove from the oven and set aside.
-
6Combine the raspberries and syrup in a pot and allow to cook for approximately 5 minutes on a medium heat. Stir often to prevent the jam from burning.
-
7Add the remaining ingredients and continue to cook until the mixture is a thick consistency.
-
8Break down any raspberry pieces that may be too big before removing from the heat and allowing to cool down.
-
9Once cooled, spread the jam evenly all over the shortbread base.
-
10Prepare the quarter-recipe of crust to use as topping.
-
11Crumble topping and combine with almonds. Sprinkle topping over the jam spread. Place the tray back in the oven to bake for a further 15–20 minutes.
-
12Once golden brown, remove from the oven and allow to cool.
