Ingredients
  

  • 2 Cups Almond Flour
  • 1/2 Cup Vanilla Protein Powder
  • 1/2 Cup Monkfruit/Erythritol
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 6 Tablespoons Butter (melted)
  • 2 Large Eggs
  • 3 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Teaspoon Lemon Extract
  • 1 Cup Chopped Strawberries

Strawberry Lemonade Filling

  • 1 Cup Chopped Strawberries
  • 4 Tablespoons Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Monkfruit/Allulose Blend
  • 1 Teaspoon Xantham Gum
  • 2/3 Cup Water

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350° Fahrenheit, then grease a nine-inch baking dish.
  • In a medium sized mixing bowl combine the almond flour, protein powder, sweetener, and baking powder. Mix together until evenly combined.
  • Next, add the melted butter, eggs, lemon juice, vanilla, and lemon extract. Whisk together until well incorporated. For a fluffier cake, continue to beat the batter for another two to three minutes.
  • Once the batter has been mixed, add the chopped strawberries and fold them in with a spatula until they have been evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan, then spread it out evenly with a spatula. 
    Bake for 18-23 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • While the bars are baking, chop more strawberries and put them in a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice, Allulose, and water to the pan. Sprinkle the xantham gum over the mixture, and whisk together.
  • Cook the mixture over low to medium heat, stirring often. 
    Bring to a boil, and let it boil 3-5 minutes or until it has begun to thicken. 
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool some before spreading it on your bars.
    While the jelly is still warm, but not hot pour it over the bars and spread it evenly with a spatula. Stick the bars in the fridge for about an hour to finish cooling, and allow the jelly to set.
  • Once cooled slice the bars into nine equal pieces.
    Serve and enjoy!
