-
1 cup
almond flour
-
6 tablespoons
Magic Baker zero sugar baking blend, Splenda
-
1/2 teaspoon
ground cinnamon
-
1/4 teaspoon
salt
-
6 tablespoons
unsalted butter

-
2 cups

3 tablespoons
sugar free blackberry preserves
-
1 teaspoon
lemon zest
-
1 tablespoon
Real Lemon lemon juice
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350°F. Prepare a 9-inch by 9-inch baking pan with spray oil and line with parchment.
-
In a food processor, process crumbled Atkins Blueberry Soft Baked Bars, almond flour, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar substitute, cinnamon and salt until well combined.
-
Add diced butter and pulse until a sand like consistency develops and it holds together when pinched. Set aside a rounded ½ cup of this mix for topping and press the remaining crust into the bottom of the prepared baking pan, creating an even layer without any holes.
-
Bake for 8-10 minutes, until the top is beginning to brown.
-
In a medium bowl, whisk together remaining ¼ cup sweetener and xanthan gum. Add sugar free jam, lemon juice, and lemon zest and whisk until well combined.
-
Add washed blueberries and mix together until evenly distributed. Scrape into an even layer over the warm crust. Crumble the remaining crust mixture evenly over the blueberry layer, leaving some bigger chunks.
-
Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes, or until the blueberry layer is bubbling along the sides.
-
Remove the foil and bake another 10 minutes, until the topping is golden, watching closely to ensure it does not burn.
-
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, about 2 hours, before cutting. Cut into 9 even pieces and serve.
