Calories: 278kcal
Ingredients
Shortbread
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
- ⅓ cup maple syrup
Cherry Filling
- ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons cherry preserves
Frosting
- ¼ cup coconut butter
- 1 tablespoon cherry preserves
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons water
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325° and line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, salt, vanilla, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Stir together until it is well mixed and everything is incorporated evenly. Press ½ of the mixture into the bottom of the pan and top with the strawberry jam, spreading evenly. Top with remaining shortbread. The best way to do this is take small pieces and press flat and then lay on top, pressing the edge of each piece together as best as possible. Bake for 30-33 minutes, until golden brown around the edges.
- Make the frosting. Make sure the coconut butter is soft. You may need to microwave it for 30 seconds and stir first. In a small bowl, combine the coconut butter, cherry preserves, maple syrup, water and salt. Pour it over the bars and spread evenly. Drizzle with more plain coconut butter if desired for a swirly design.
