Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit)
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Sugar-free cherry preserves
• 0.25 cup Dark chocolate chips (sugar-free)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar substitute, baking powder, and salt until well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add the melted butter and vanilla extract, and stir to combine.

Step 4

Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, stirring until a thick batter forms.

Step 5

Spread half of the batter evenly across the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula to smooth it out.

Step 6

Gently spread the sugar-free cherry preserves over the batter layer, leaving a small border around the edges.

Step 7

Top the preserves with the remaining batter, spreading it carefully to cover the cherry layer as evenly as possible.

Step 8

Sprinkle the sugar-free dark chocolate chips across the top.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bars are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 10

Remove the dish from the oven and let the bars cool completely in the pan. Once cool, slice into 12 equal bars.

Step 11

Serve and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
