These Raspberry Coconut Bars with Almond Crust offer a delightful contrast of textures, with a crunchy almond base supporting a creamy, tangy raspberry filling. The sweet coconut topping adds a tropical flair, making each bite a blissful experience that melts in your mouth.

Ingredients

Scale
  • For the Almond Crust:
    • 1 ½ cups almond flour
    • ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
    • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
    • ½ teaspoon salt
  • For the Raspberry Filling:
    • 2 cups fresh raspberries
    • ¼ cup honey or agave syrup
    • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
    • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • For the Coconut Topping:
    • 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
    • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
    • 1 tablespoon coconut oil, melted

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt to form the crust mixture.
  3. Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of a greased 8×8 inch baking dish.
  4. Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden.

  7. In a separate bowl, mix shredded coconut, coconut sugar, and melted coconut oil. Sprinkle this mixture over the raspberry layer.
