Raspberry Crumble Keto Dessert Bars
Craving a fruity keto dessert?
These raspberry crumble keto dessert bars are packed with amazing fruity flavor, but are totally low carb to keep you on track while enjoying a delicious treat.
It’s okay to have sweet treats on keto! In fact, we’ve made a ton of keto dessert recipes that my boys didn’t even realize were sugar-free. I’ve really been trying to cut down on the amount of sugar they eat, so I love whipping up low-carb alternatives that taste just as good if not better than the sugar-filled originals.
Fruity low carb goodness!
Not only are raspberries one of the healthiest berries, but they’re also low carb too. Enjoy half of a cup of raspberries and they clocks in at just 3g net carbs. Even better, berries are an anti-inflammatory food! They contain antioxidants called anthocyanins that work to reduce inflammation and may help reduce your risk of disease.
We went with raspberries for this recipe, but you could easily swap them out for strawberries, blackberries, or even blueberries.
Hip tips for making the best raspberry crumble keto dessert bars:
-
- I love this treat on its own but you can sprinkle keto confectioners sugar over your bars or even drizzle melted no-sugar-added chocolate over it for additional flavor.
-
- If you do not have a pastry cutter, you can also make your dough by pulsing the ingredients together in a food processor.
-
- Chop the pecans before measuring them for this recipe. You can run them through your food processor or use a handy food chopper for small jobs like this.
-
- Line your 9×9 baking pan with parchment paper before pressing the crust into the pan, this helps ensure your bars won’t stick.

This fruity keto dessert bar is filled with raspberry flavor without all the added sugar! Made with almond flour, fresh raspberries, nuts, and more.
Ingredients
Crumble crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup keto granular sweetener (I used Swerve)
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup hemp hearts
- 1/2 cup almond slices
- 1/2 cup butter, cold cut up into cubes
Raspberry filling:
Directions
1
For the Crust:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
2
In a mixing bowl, add all ingredients for the crust. With a pastry blender or fork, mix together ingredients until a dough has formed. This dough will stick by pressing it together, but will also have a crumble texture. This is the ideal texture you are wanting for this crust dough.
3
Once the dough has formed, add 2/3 of the dough into the 9x9 pan and press down forming a flat crust-like bottom. Set the remaining dough aside, you will use this at the end.
4
Place the pan in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. While the crust is cooling, prepare the raspberry filling.
5
To make the raspberry filling:
In a saucepan over medium heat, add raspberries, chia seeds, sugar-free maple syrup, water, and keto confectioners sugar. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes whisking occasionally to avoid sticking. Add in xanthan gum at the end whisking quickly to thicken the filling. Remove from stovetop and let filling cool for 10 minutes.
6
Add filling to the top of the baked crust. Make sure to spread filling over crust to cover all edges. Add remaining dough from the crust to the top of the filling. I just crumbled the dough over the top evenly.
7
Place pan back in the preheated oven and bake for 30 minutes.
8
Once the raspberry bars have baked, remove them from the oven, and let the bars cool completely. You'll want to wait until these are completely cooled before you cut into them.
9
Slice into nine squares and serve. Enjoy!

What could I sub for the hemp hearts?
Hey Deanna! You could sub hemp hearts with 1/2 cup more almonds and 1/2 cup more pecans. That would work out just fine as well. I hope you enjoy this tasty treat.
Thank you! I made this last night with the extra nuts and it was actually good. It didn’t really form too well into bars but just used a fork instead. 🌟🌟🌟🌟
Wahoo! Thank you for letting us know how it worked, Deanna!
Delicious! Rave reviews from carb-crunching fam. I also lacked hemp hearts, subbed toasted pecans. And added a bit of salt. Keep in fridge to firm up. Thank you!
Great to hear your family loved these bars, Eileen. 💕 Toasted pecans sound like a great swap for hemp hearts, and adding a bit of salt is a nice touch. Keeping it in the fridge to firm up is a smart idea. Enjoy!
