Ingredients

For the Filling

3 cups cranberries (organic, fresh)
1/2 cup monk fruit (or granulated sweetener of choice)
1/2 orange (juice, fresh)
1 orange (zest (zest of one orange))
2 tbsp tapioca flour (organic)

Crust & Topping

3 cups almond flour (organic, fine)
2 tbsp tapioca flour (organic)
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp sea salt (fine)
1/8 cup butter (grass fed, or coconut oil)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (organic, plain, nonfat)
1/4 cup maple syrup (organic)

Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a 9x9 glass baking dish with nonstick spray.
2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, tapioca flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
3
Add the Greek yogurt and softened butter or coconut oil, mixing until the mixture becomes crumbly. Add the maple syrup and stir until fully incorporated. The dough should be slightly crumbly but hold together when squeezed.
4
Press half of the dough firmly and evenly into the bottom of your baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
5
Remove from the oven and spread the cranberry filling in an even layer on top.
6
Sprinkle the remaining dough over the filling (no need for it to be perfect) and gently press it into the cranberries. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the top is lightly golden.
7
Allow the bars to cool completely before slicing. Enjoy!
