  • 1/3 cup Joy Filled Eats Sweetener (or see alternatives in recipe notes) ()
  • 1 tsp molasses (***)
  • pinch salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/2 tsp orange extract
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup ground golden flax ((or additional almond flour))
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp ginger (optional)
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries or sugar free dried cranberries
  • 1/2 cup sugar free white chocolate chips (optional)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 tbsp butter (softened)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sweetener
  • 4 drops lemon extract
  • 1/2 cup sugar free white chocolate chips (optional)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350. Grease an 8x8 baking pan.
  • Cream together butter and sweetener. Add molasses, salt, eggs, and extracts. Mix thoroughly. Add dry ingredients. Mix well. Fold in the cranberries and white chocolate chips, if using.
  • Spread in an 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 30-35 min. until golden brown. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the cream cheese, butter, sweetener, and lemon extract until fluffy.
  • Spread icing very gently on cooled bars. The bars can crumble if you aren't gentle. The best way to do this is to drop little blobs of icing on slightly warm bars and spread using an offset spatula. Top with chopped fresh cranberries mixed with sweetener or dried cranberries.
  • Refrigerate until cold and cut into squares.
