    Free Guide! Feed a Family on a Low Carb Diet

    In this free 5-day email series learn all my tips for incorporating a low-carb lifestyle into the life of your family.

    If a dessert or breakfast item has raspberries in it, there is a strong chance I am going to love it. Try my Keto Lemon Cupcakes with Raspberry Frosting, Raspberry Cream Cheese Danish, or Raspberry Mousse Tart, and you'll understand my passion. 

    Raspberries are the most low carb berry so they are perfect for almost any low carb diet or keto diet to be enjoyed in moderation.

    Raspberries are the perfect marriage of sweet and tangy. I think that is why I am drawn to their flavor so much. These low carb Keto Raspberry Jam Bars are sweet but are sugar free, so they are much healthier than traditional recipes.

    Ingredients Needed

    I know you are probably ready to dive right in and devour a couple of these keto dessert bars! But, first, let's talk about the ingredients you need. 

    • Salted Butter - You will need some butter for the crust and the crumble. I like to use salted butter because it tastes great. 
    • Almond Flour - The way the almond flour tastes and the texture it gives makes it a prime ingredient. It needs to be added to the crust as well as the crumble topping. 
    • Coconut Flour - It pairs nicely with almond flour to give you the best dessert bars. 
    • Egg - Naturally, the egg binds the ingredients.
    • Vanilla - A little bit of vanilla makes all the difference in the final result. 
    • Raspberries - The sweet star of the show is raspberries. You could swap them for other berries if you like, but I am partial to raspberries. You can use either fresh or frozen raspberries for the jam layer.
    • Sweetener - Even though raspberries are naturally sweet, the bars do need a little added sugar-free sweetener. 
    • Lemon Juice - The tangy flavor of the filling is even better when you add some fresh lemon juice. 
    • Xanthan Gum - It's used to make the jam filling a thicker texture. Without it, it's going to be sort of runny and not as good. 
    • Oats - While oats aren't keto-friendly, I will add in a small amount once in a while. They are completely optional, so you can certainly leave them out or sub in large coconut flakes if you want. 

    How To Make Keto Raspberry Jam Bars

    These are seriously the easiest bars you could make. Very few steps and they taste like they were prepared in a bakery. Let's get started:

    ingredients in a food processor

    Step One: Prepare the crust by combining the cold butter, flour, sweetener, egg, and vanilla in a food processor. Mix until well-combined.

    Step Two: Press the crust into a baking dish using your fingers. Make sure it's even and reasonably smooth.

    Step Three: Combine the raspberries, sweetener, and lemon juice in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 5 minutes until bubbly. Add the xanthan gum and mix well. Pour the raspberry jam on top of the crust layer.

    Step Four: Prepare the crumble in the food processor by combining the butter, sweetener, almond flour, and oats together. 

    Step Five: Sprinkle the top of the low carb sugar free raspberry bars with the homemade crumble. Bake for 40 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Let cool, cut, and serve. Enjoy!

    How Long Do Keto Raspberry Bars Last?

    The raspberry crumble bars will last in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. They will need to be kept airtight. 

    You can also freeze the bars, and they will last for 1-2 months.

    Can I Use Different Fruit?

    Yes! You can swap the raspberries for blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries. They are all reasonably low in carbs and taste great too. I typically stick with raspberries because I enjoy them so much, but the bars taste great with other fruits too. 

    If you have some of my keto strawberry jam on hand go ahead and sub that in! Or check out my other versions of this at: Keto Cherry Pie Bars and Keto Rhubarb Crumble Bars

    How Do You Cut The Raspberry Bars?

    I find that they are easier to cut when they are all the way cooled. When they are warm, they tend to bunch up with each cut. However, when they are chilled, the knife will glide easily. 

    I also recommend using a plastic knife and running it under hot water for a couple of minutes. This allows the cuts to be smooth and flawless. Give it a try, and you'll see it's a game-changer. 

    Can I Just Make the Jam Recipe?

    Of course! You don't need to make the sugar free low carb raspberry jam into bars at all. Enjoy it dolloped on top of my ricotta cheesecake, spread on your favorite keto low carb bread, use it in thumbprint cookies, or on some almond flour biscuits!

    If you want to you can sub in black chia seeds for the xanthan gum if you aren't making the jam into bars. Chia seeds will help the low carb jam thicken. Just use 1 tablespoon of chia seeds to make keto raspberry chia seed jam.

    Store the chia jam in the refrigerator for 1-2 weeks or freeze the sugar free jam for up to 3 months.

    What Else Can I Add To The Keto Raspberry Jam Bars?

    Nuts: Feel free to add in some walnuts, pecans, or almonds to the keto raspberry jam bars.

    White Chocolate: You can also add some sugar free white chocolate chips or dark chocolate chips.

    Coconut: I love adding coconut flakes to the topping. I do this in my keto cherry pie bars!

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350. Line a 9x9 square pan with parchment paper.
    • Process the ingredients for the crust in a food processor until they come together in a ball. Spread in the bottom of the prepared pan.
    • Combine the raspberries, sweetener, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes until bubbly. Gentle mash the berries. Add the xanthan gum.
    • Pour the jam over the crust.
    • Add the crumble ingredients (except the oats, if using) to the food processor. Pulse until large crumbs form. Add the oats and pulse just until they are mixed in. Sprinkle on top of the jam-covered crust.
    • Bake for 40 minutes until golden brown.

    Notes

    Nutrition: This recipe makes 16 bars. The nutrition facts are for 1 bar. There are 3.6 NET carbs per serving.
    Substitutions: Feel free to swap the raspberries for strawberries, blueberries, or even blackberries. 
    To Store: The bars should be kept airtight and refrigerated except for when you are serving. They will last 4-5 days. 
    To Freeze: Place in a freezer-safe container, and they will last in the freezer for 1-2 months. 
    Notes on Sweeteners: 
    I use my own blend of xylitol, erythritol, and stevia in my recipes. This is twice as sweet as sugar. It is comparable to Trim Healthy Mama Gentle Sweet and Truvia.
    To sub in Swerve or Lakanto Monk Fruit use 1.5 times the amount of sweetener called for. 
     
    To sub in Pyure or Trim Healthy Mama Super Sweet use half the amount of sweetener called for.
     
    Substitutions will work in most recipes. They may not work in candies, such as caramel.

      Made this today. Relatively easy even having the 3 steps - crust, jam, crumble. I followed recipe exactly. I thought there was going to be too much raspberry jam in it, but it turned out to be a good balance. The real test was my husband. He not only said how good it was, but he came out and snuck another piece! Said I need to keep this in my rounds of treats.5 stars
