Indulge in the delightful world of Keto Cherry Pie Bars — a tempting treat that combines a luscious blend of flavors with the health-conscious principles of a ketogenic diet. The recipe starts with a rich and nutty crust crafted from a fusion of cold coconut oil, almond flour, coconut flour, sweetener, egg, and vanilla, creating a firm and flavorful foundation. Meanwhile, the jam filling brings together the vibrant sweetness of fresh or frozen cherries and cranberries, complemented by a touch of sweetener, lemon juice, and a hint of xanthan gum for that perfect jam consistency.

As the bars bake to golden perfection, a tantalizing crumble made from melted coconut oil, sweetener, almond flour, and coconut flakes adorns the top, creating a satisfying texture that perfectly contrasts the smoothness of the fruity filling. The result is a symphony of tastes and textures — from the buttery crust to the fruity jam and the crunchy crumble, each bite promises a delightful journey for the taste buds.
