RASPBERRY BLONDIE BARS

INGREDIENTS:

• ½ cup almond butter
• ¼ cup coconut oil, melted
• ¾ cup coconut sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup MNMLST Raspberry Fruit Spread

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350°F and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a medium bowl, stir together almond butter, coconut oil, coconut sugar, egg, and vanilla until smooth.
3. Stir in the almond flour, baking soda, and salt and mix until combined.
4. Remove ½ cup of the crust mixture and set aside.
5. Spread the main portion of the crust into the prepared pan (the batter is thick, it’s easiest to use clean hands to spread the crust). Spread the MNMLST Raspberry Fruit Spread over the batter.
6. Crumble the remaining ½ cup of the batter over the fruit spread and then bake for 20-22 minutes or until lightly browned.
7. Let cool completely before cutting into squares.
