This was delish. I did substitute fresh raspberries for the blueberry. Cut the carbs in half. Also used swerve brown sugar in the crumb crust.

These are absolutely amazing, but I wouldn't call them a "bars." They are more like 2 bites. Still, I will keep making them because they are so delicious!

Can you substitute the xanthan gum with something else? Is it super important to the recipe? Would it change anything if I left it out? I have small children and they will feed the dog if no one is watching and xanthan gum is super poisonous to dogs. I really want to make this but I just want to make sure if my dog ever got some it’s not going to harm them.

Perhaps try arrowroot, cornstarch or other thickeners. IDK carb count.

You are confusing xylitol and xanthan gum. Xylitol is toxic for dogs. Xanthun gum is a thickener and is not toxic for dogs especially in small doses

It makes the texture chewy.. up to you.

I thought blueberries were to avoid because of high glycemic count?
JoniLea512 10 months ago
I used raspberries because it’s lower on the glycemic index, but not by much. Both are considered low.

Because of diverticulitis I can not eat raspberries or nuts so it makes it a little challenging! Thanks for the response.

they're ok in small amounts. rasberries are better for keto bc higher fiber. Here are details for 100 grams of berries: Raspberries: 11.9 g carbs, 6.5 fiber = 5.5g net Blackberries: 10.2 g carbs, 5.3 fiber = 4.9g net Strawberries: 7.7 g carbs, 2.0 fiber = 5.7g net Blueberries: 14.5 g carbs, 2.4 fiber = 12.1g net

I am in agreement w/Cindy - If I add them to my yogurt they are flagged as to avoid! So which is it? Avoid or use?

Most berries are okay on keto because of their high fiber.

These were amazing . Some not though, you could taste the salt, I would reduce it next time. Also, I baked in silicon form and as it is wobbly the bottom crushed after first bake , next time in a solid form or a tray underneath. :)

You can always put the silicon on a solid form...

Freaking loved these. I suspect the squares are supposed to be super small. I just end up eating like 10 of them.

That’s my concern. This looks great, and I think I’ll try it when the grandkids come over so they can take leftovers home. I can’t be trusted with access to more than 1 serving!

First off I must say I am not totally keto. So check your macros. I just love food not loaded with cane sugar or syrups. Let me say I always use the almond flour as that is what gives the crust and topping the awesome nutty flavor. Sometimes I swap the 1/4 cup of water out that is used to cook the berries/ fruit in for heavy cream. I also swap the saturated fat laden 6 tbsp of butter out for heart healthy canola oil. It is the best to use. As it only has 1 gram of saturated fat and a ton of monounsaturated fat and polyunsaturated fat. Both heart healthy. I also have used red sweet pitted cherries and blackberries. Next I am getting a can of pineapple tidbits in pineapple juice, draining off all the juice but the 1/4cup needed to cook and thicken the juice. I will also add in some unsweetened organic coconut flakes to the fruit 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup. Also swap out the swerve confectionery sugar for the fruit portion with either sukrin gold brown sugar for 1lb on Amazon or Walmart that is 16.99 and for $15 on those sites you can get 2, 12oz bags or totaling 24 oz of swerve brown sugar replacement.. yes a lot cheaper, any how I will use that in the pineapple mixture instead of the confectionery sugar. I think with the pineapple unsweetened coconut brown sugar and nutty crust it will have a tropical kind of taste! Please remember as long as fruit is just frozen and nothing added it tastes just as good in recipes as fresh fruit. Also a lot cheaper. You can really use any frozen fruit or mixture of frozen fruit. The blueberry recipe is awesome as well. Be creative in the kitchen. The only sugar you will have in this recipe is from the fruit. Which makes this a perfect dessert for me. As stated though, I am not full keto. I just like to watch my intake of sugar and corn syrups. So have fun with it, but check your macros if you are full keto.
