Ingredients

For the crust and crumb topping:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tbsp Xantan gum
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese
  • 6 tbsp butter
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup Swerve confectioners sweetener or powdered erythritol

For the cranberry filling:

  • 2 cups fresh cranberries
  • 1/2 cup Swerve confectioners or powdered Erythritol
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tbsp orange zest
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds optional

Instructions

For the cranberry filling:

  • In a saucepan combine cranberries, water and sugar. Bring to a boil and immediately reduce to a simmer.
  • Cook for 10 minutes, until the cranberries are soft and cooked through.
  • Stir in chia seeds and orange zest.
  • Let the sauce cool to a room temperature.

To make the dough:

  • In a food processor combine all ingredients for the low-carb pie crust. Pulse to incorporate. The dough should form a ball. Don't process further.
  • Alternatively pulse until just crumbs are formed, then transfer dough to a working surface and create a ball. Press to form a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.

To make the crumb bars:

  • Preheat oven to 350 F.
    Line a 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper. Spray with coconut oil spray.
  • Take 2/3 of the dough and press it to the bottom of the baking dish.
    Bake for 10 minutes, then let it cool for 15 minutes.
  • Spread the cranberry filling over the crust.
  • Using the remaining dough, crumble it on top of the cranberry filling.
    Bake the crumb bars for about 15-20 more minutes, until golden.
  • Cool completely. Cut into squares.
