Raspberry Crumble Bars, the most indulgent keto low-carb dessert I have ever made. Do you love my easy low carb recipes? Well, this one is definitely an easy one!
Healthy Raspberry Crumble Bars
You may have noticed that my hubby is into vegan food right. He stopped eating meat, fish, and eggs to respect animals but also to protect our planet. We have always been aware that we eat too much animal food – especially eggs. I still eat eggs from times to times but making vegan swaps whenever possible is a great step to a conscious lifestyle. So, these healthy Raspberry Crumble Bars are vegan, egg-free, dairy-free, and packed full of healthy things like coconut flour, chia seeds, and almond meal. Do you see that crumbly bottom layer?
Coconut flour a healthy crumbly flour
It is the best! Coconut flour makes the most delicious crumble bars. Even better when combined with nuts and more coconut. You guys know that I love baking with coconut flour and I know you love it! My coconut flour pie crust is one of your favorite recipes of all time. So here, I chose to make these raspberry crumble bars with coconut. If there is one combo I love more than anything, it is coconut and raspberry. Look at these slices! Does it make you hungry?
When I was a kid in France my grandma looked after me every day after school. She always bought stuffed croissants with raspberry jam and toasted coconut. I believe my addiction to this combo of flavor comes from here. Nowadays, it is always a mix of flavor I love on my toast or pancakes. But these raspberry crumble bars, really are the perfection!
Making a Raspberry Crumble Bar
If you are a lover of crumble bars, you will love this simple healthy raspberry crumble bars recipe. So here is how to make them. It is a very simple recipe as all you have to do is processing each ingredient – for the bottom layer – into a food processor. It just takes 5 minutes to prepare. The bottom layer is my favorite part. It is ‘buttery’ with a lovely crumb texture that melts in your mouth. The filling is a super healthy jam, the sweetest raspberry chia seed jam you’ll ever make with no refined sugar.

Finally, the coconut crust on top is crunchy, with a delicious taste of roasted coconut that goes so well with the raspberry jam. I really can’t say more about these healthy raspberry crumble bars.
I hope everyone will love them as my family does. I wish you all a great week. Thanks for reading the blog and happy baking!

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 F (180 C).
Prepare a square baking tray (8 inches), covered with parchment paper. Set aside.
BOTTOM LAYER
In a food processor with the S blade attachment add the almond meal, desiccated coconut, coconut flour, honey, salt, coconut oil and vanilla and water (starts with 8 tbsp.).Process until it gets crumbly and all the ingredients are coming together. If too crumbly - it means it does not form a dough ball when firmly pressed within your hands - simply add an extra 2 tbsp of water. I added 10 tbsp of water. Always add 2 tbsp at a time and check with a small portion of the dough. If it hold well together you added enough water.
Evenly press the batter into the prepared baking tray. I used my fingers and flatten the layer pressing with a spatula.
Using a fork, pick the base few times on few area to prevent the base to 'pop' when baking.
Bake for 15 minutes. Cool down fully in the tray before spreading the raspberry jam on top.
RASPBERRY CHIA SEED JAM
While the bottom layer is baking prepare the jam. In a small saucepan add all the jam ingredients. Cook the jam under medium heat stirring constantly to avoid the jam to burn. It is ready when the raspberry are fully melted and it forms a thick jam. It should not take more than 5-6 minutes
Set aside in a bowl to fully cool down and thicken a little bit. You can bring the jam outside on the deck to cool down faster. It does not has to be cold, room temperature is fine.
Spread the jam onto the baked bottom layer and return in the oven for 10 minutes to set.
Remove from the oven. Set aside while you prepare the top layer.
TOP LAYER
Add all the top layer ingredient into a mixing bowl. Use your hand to combine the ingredients together., rubbing the coconut oil and liquid sweetener onto the dry ingredients to create a crumbly batter. It is the messy part !
Crumble those ingredients on top of the last layer - the chia jam - and return the tray to the oven for 10 minutes to slightly toast the coconut crumble layer.
Fully cool down for 1 hour in the pan . You can place the pan in a cooler place like outside on the deck to cool down faster. The jam must be set and at room temperature before making slices. Place the pan for 1 hour in the fridge to set the jam faster and make it easier to slice.
This recipe makes 16 slices. Store up to 1 week in the pantry in an airtight plastic box.

Hi! I’m making this yummy looking recipe with my son for my birthday! It mentions adding salt in the base layer in the instructions but doesn’t mention salt amounts in the ingredients. Should we just use a pinch, or can you please tell us how much? Thank you! Loving all of your recipes! So far “Twix” is my favorite dessert!!
Hello Carine! Like many others, I follow a large number of keto/low carb blogs and I have to say, the recipes you create and share with us are some of my absolute favourites. Your blog just speaks to me! Thanks for all that you do and I will let you know how these treats came out. Still a fan from Canada! 🙂
That is the MOST beautiful comment I read today and thank YOU for taking some time to send me this! This is so kind and it makes me so happy to share with you here. I hope you will enjoy those bars. Have a lovely day, XOXO Carine.
Hello! I love all the recipes, they are perfect, congratulations. I have a question with this recipe, I would like to know what kind of honey you are referring to in this case? Thank you
I am making this recipe with sugar free maple flavored syrup it has no carbs or sugar. I never made the recipe using honey but I know followers have success with it that is why I gave the option in bracket for those who want to use unrefined sweetener that have sugar. Regular honey or regular maple syrup will give the same outcome in taste and texture but they ill add carbs and sugar. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.
Hi Carine, I made this recipe today and would just like to say how well it turned out, as well as being totally delicious. Was a perfect Anzac day treat! It will certainly be added to my list of highly rated keto recipes. Many thanks for great inspiration from a fellow Aucklander….
Oh thank you !I am so glad you found my blog and you are also from Auckland, very exciting to have more Kiwis on board. Enjoy the low carb keto recipes on the blog. XOXO Carine.
My pleasure! Yes you can use any fruits but apples are not low carb so the nutrition info will change a lot. If you don’t eat low carb or low sugar apples will be ok then. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.
Hi! I am wondering if this recipe will work without the honey/brown rice syrup. I can’t have any kind of sweeteners. I also cannot use almond meal or any kind of grain – even oats! Do you think it would work using only the coconut flour? Thanks for your help! 🙂
Hello! welcome on my low carb blog. You may be able to use swerve (same amount as the sugar free liquid sweetener) but you will have to balance the texture with water or an egg white to make sure it hold together. Add 1 tablespoon of water until it comes to together. Enjoy the recipe. XOXO Carine.
I am sorry my friend this recipe won’t work at all with so many changes. You will have to look for a coconut flour sugar free recipe to make sure it suit your diet and taste good! I am sorry I can’t help you more. XOXO Carine.
Hi, I would recommend you to use oat flour. I did not try the recipe with a subsitute so I am very keen to hear how it goes 🙂 Let me know ! thanks for reading the blog! xoxo Carine.

Hey thanks for the great looking recepie! Would the same instructions work with Apples? ????
My pleasure! Yes you can use any fruits but apples are not low carb so the nutrition info will change a lot. If you don’t eat low carb or low sugar apples will be ok then. Enjoy! XOXO Carine.
Thanks for sharing! Does the top layer with the coconut have any trouble with burning or cooking unevenly?
Not at all! As soon as you place the baking tray in the center of your oven, on fan-forced it is absolutely even. Enjoy the recipe, XOXO Carine.
This looks so good! The base looks awesome. Do you use that in any other recipes?
Not on a recipe shared on the blog, but I love to make chocolate pie with the base recipe as a crust. Delicious ! Enjoy the blog, XOXO Carine.

Hi! I want to try your recipe but I don’t have sugar free syrup. How can I substitute it with granular Sverve?

Can i use almond flour in place of almond meal?
Sure ! Both are exactly the same thing, it is only different terms. Enjoy the raspberries bars. XOXO Carine.
I am allergic to nuts what can I use as an almond meal substitute?
Hi, I would recommend you to use oat flour. I did not try the recipe with a subsitute so I am very keen to hear how it goes 🙂 Let me know ! thanks for reading the blog! xoxo Carine.
Wow….really eye-candy photos you have here Carine. I think i might just try this recipe this Saturday.
