Red Velvet Bars w/ Cream Cheese Frosting ~ Gluten Free, Low Carb
This recipe was adapted from "Red Velvet Sugar Cookie Bars with Cream Cheese Frosting" by the Recipe Critic (click here to view her awesome bars.)
Ingredients
3 C. almond flour
2 TBLS. Cocoa Powder (unsweetened)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 C. butter
1/2 C. brown sugar substitute (I use Ideal)
3/4 C. granulated/powdered white-sugar substitute
2 large eggs
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
10 drops vanilla stevia
2 tsp. red food coloring
For the Frosting:
2--8 oz. cream cheese (room temp.)
1/4 C. butter (softened, salted)
1 C. (or less) granulated white sugar substitute (powder form)
1 tsp. vanilla flavoring
Directions
Preheat oven to 350F degrees. Mix together the butter and sugar subs. Then mix in the eggs. Then add in the vanilla, stevia, and food coloring. Mix the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl and then slowly blend well into the wet ingredients. Pour into a foil-lined cookie pan--about 10" X 15" or 9" X 13". Spray grease the foil.
Bake for 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely. Then frost. I smashed up sugar-free red candy and sprinkled on the top. But you can also make your own sugar-free sprinkles. Here's an easy recipe for coloring granulated erythritol, by Carolyn at "All Day I Dream About Food".
This recipe makes about 12 to 15 bars. Enjoy!!
