Preparation Steps:
- In a medium bowl, combine the fresh or frozen blueberries with the sugar-free sweetener, tapioca flour, and a pinch of sea salt. Gently toss the mixture to coat the blueberries evenly. Set aside to let the flavors meld while you prepare the crust.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil or butter, sugar-free sweetener, and another pinch of sea salt. Stir until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough. Reserve about one cup of this mixture for the topping.
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your 9x9-inch baking dish with a little coconut oil or butter. Press the remaining dough mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
- Spread the blueberry filling evenly over the crust layer. Make sure to distribute the blueberries uniformly for a balanced flavor in every bite.
- Sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture evenly over the blueberry filling, ensuring it covers the berries well.
- Bake the bars in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the blueberries are bubbly.
- Once baked, remove the bars from the oven and let them cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes. This cooling time is crucial as it allows the filling to set, making it easier to cut into squares. Once cooled, slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- For a nut-free version, consider using oat flour or a gluten-free all-purpose blend.
- These bars can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to five days.
- To reheat, microwave for about 10-15 seconds or place in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
