Make a keto crumble crust.

1. Start by preheating your oven to 350f. Also, line an 8 inch square baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs.
2. Next, combine the ingredients to make the crust. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, lemon zest, granulated erythritol and melted butter.
3. When the ingredients start to stick together you can transfer them to the prepare baking pan.
4. Press the crust ingredients firmly into the pan until the entire bottom of the pan is covered with crust ingredients.
5. Bake the crust until it begins to brown (about eight minutes). Then remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool so that you can add the remaining layers.
6. You can keep the oven on as you will need to place the prepared crumble into the oven to bake.

How to make crumble filling.

• Start by activating the chia sees. Simply place the seeds in a bowl or cup with a half cup of water. It will take about a half hour to form the desired gelatinous paste for the filling. You can do this while the crust is baking to save time.
• To make the filling, place the thickened chia paste along with the remaining filling ingredients into a good processor or good blender. Then pulse this as needed to combine the ingredients.
• Next, in a saucepan over medium heat, transfer the ingredients from the blender or processor. Do not stir the ingredients as we are trying to remove the water and thicken the ingredients into a jam-like filling. This should take about three to five minutes total.
• Remove the filling from the heat and allow it to cool for five minutes. It will thicken more as it cools.
• Once the filling has cooled you can transfer it to the pan and evenly spread it over the crust.

Expert TIP👉 When cooking the filling ingredients on the stove. we need the excess liquid to evaporate. Minimal stirring is suggested however, but it should be done if needed to make sure the ingredients do no burn.

Also, 👉The jam-like filling will develop its thickest consistency when cold. Let it cool while you make the crumble.

How to make low carbohydrate crumble topping.

• In a medium bowl, combine together the almond meal, granulated erythritol, shredded coconut and lemon zest.
• Once the ingredients have been combined you can work in the cubes of butter.
• When the ingredients resemble a crumble topping, you can evenly distribute it over the filling that you placed over the crust in your pan.
• You can now bake the bars at 350F for 12- 15 minutes or until the crumble turns golden.
• Allow for the crumble to fully cool before serving as it will need to set. Refrigerating the crumble can help speed this up.
