Ingredients

Crust

Fruit Layer

  • 2/3 cup apricot butter (or jam; or other thick fruit jam/puree/butter - choosing low carb if needed. See Recipe Notes)

Nut / Seed Topping

  • 3 egg whites
  • 1/2 cup rapadura (or other sweetener as desired)
  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts (or other nut or seed)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Beat egg yolks until frothy, then add honey and ghee (or other fat).
  • Stir baking soda into coconut flour, then stir into wet mixture.
  • Add water, mix until combined.
  • Grease and flour a 8x8 pan. Scatter the crust mixture throughout the pan by dolloping the mixture with a spoon, then use your hands to spread and press down the dough evenly.
  • Spread the apricot butter (or other butter or jam) on the dough.
  • Grind walnuts coarsely.
  • Whip egg whites until stiff.
  • Add rapadura and whip, then add walnuts.
  • Spread egg white mixture over the jam on the crust, bake for 20 minutes or until darkish golden.
  • Cool before cutting into squares and enjoy.

Notes

  • You can substitute Powdered Egg Replacer if avoiding eggs for the crust (if low carb, use a flax egg or chia egg.) However, a replacer won't work well for the topping. You'll have to try another topping perhaps like the crumble for these Raspberry Bars.
  • For a low-carb dessert, use 1/3 teaspoon stevia extract with 1 tablespoon water instead of honey, substitute xylitol for rapadura, and choose a jam made with berries and xylitol or other low-carb sweeteners.
  • It is preferable to soak and dehydrate your nuts or seeds.
  • Though any jam or spread can work, it's best to choose a jam or fruit puree on the thicker side.
