Why It Works
  • The almond flour crust is made with a combination of almond flour, coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and salt. This combination of ingredients creates a crust that is soft and chewy, with a slightly nutty flavor.
  • The raspberry jam filling is made with fresh raspberries and sugar. The raspberries are cooked until they are soft and juicy, and the sugar helps to thicken the jam. The jam has a tart and flavorful taste, which complements the sweetness of the crust.
  • The sliced almonds on top of the bars add a crunchy texture and a touch of elegance. The almonds are toasted before they are added to the bars, which gives them a nutty flavor and a golden brown color.
