Keto Strawberry Lemon Blondies Recipe

Ingredients

Blondies

• 2 ½ cup almond flour
• ⅔ cup Swerve Sweetener
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 6 tablespoon butter melted
• 1 large egg
• 1 large egg yolk
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 3 tablespoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅔ cup finely chopped strawberries

Strawberry Glaze

• 2 medium strawberries coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• ⅔ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener

Instructions

Blondies

• Preheat the oven to 325ºF and line a 9×9 inch metal baking pan with parchment paper, with overhanging sides for easy removal.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, and salt. Stir in the butter, egg, egg yolk, lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until the dough comes together.
• Gently fold in the chopped berries, then transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Press evenly into the pan (the dough is thick so this takes a bit of work).
• Bake 30 to 35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the top is set and just firm to the touch. It may still be somewhat soft but should not be wet. Let cool completely in the pan.

Glaze

• In a blender or food processor, blend the strawberries and lemon juice.
• Transfer to a bowl and whisk in ½ cup of the sweetener until smooth. If the glaze is very thin, add more sweetener until it is a nicel drizzling consistency.
• Drizzle over the cooled bars and spread evenly over. Refrigerate at least 30 minutes to help set the glaze.
• Lift the bars out of the pan with the edges of the parchment and cut into bars.
