Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bars
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp cinnamon
- 1/4 cup erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1/4 cup of erythritol, 2 tablespoons of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt 1/4 cup of coconut oil in the microwave. This should take about 20-30 seconds. Be careful not to overheat it.
- Once the coconut oil is melted, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 cup of unsweetened shredded coconut to the bowl. Mix well to combine.
- Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined and a thick dough forms.
- Transfer the dough into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture evenly into the bottom of the dish.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang.
- Allow the bars to cool completely on a wire rack before cutting them into 12 equal pieces.
- Store the Cinnamon Bun Fat Bomb Bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for longer storage.
Tips
- Use fresh, high-quality cinnamon for the most intense flavor. Fresh spices make a world of difference!
- Make sure your coconut oil is completely melted but not hot when mixing with other ingredients to ensure proper texture.
- Press the mixture evenly into the baking dish for consistent cooking and a uniform bar shape.
- Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting to ensure they hold their shape and don't crumble.
- For extra richness, you can add a light cream cheese drizzle on top after cooling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- If you prefer a more pronounced sweetness, you can adjust the erythritol to taste, but be mindful of potential texture changes.
