For the bars
- 1 stick (115g) butter, softened
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (I use Lakanto Golden)
- 1 egg
- 1/4 cup maple syrup (I use Lakanto Maple Syrup)
- 1 1/4th cup almond flour
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt
For the Cream Cheese swirl
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sugar (I use Swerve Confectioner)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt
- 4 oz chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 8 x 8 pan and set the pan aside
- In a medium bowl, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy (1-2 minutes on medium high). Add the egg and continue to beat 1 additional minute.
- Add the almond flour, vanilla, maple syrup and salt to the mixing bowl and beat on low for 1 minute. Pour the mixture into the pan. Place in the oven for 5 minutes.
- While the bars are beginning to bake, use the same mixing bowl and add all the cream cheese swirl ingredients and beat until well incorporated.
- When the bars are done, pour the cream cheese mixture over the bars. Using a spatula, swirl the cream cheese mixture throughout bars. Sprinkle some chocolate chips over the top and return the dish to the oven for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the center is still a little jiggly and the edges are just beginning to brown.
- Let the bars cool completely and then place them in the fridge for an additional 2-3 hours or preferably overnight.
Notes
- Nutritional information is for the sugar-free version
- The bars will seem somewhat undercooked when you remove them from the oven but they will turn to a beautiful gooey nature once they have cooled.
