Easy fresh Strawberry Cookie Bars loaded with strawberries and secretly healthy! Made eggless, these bars are sugar free, keto, and paleo!

I am currently obsessed with anything made with fresh fruit like this healthy banana pudding, this healthy orange julius and OF COURSE these strawberry cookies bars! I would have to say that a perfectly ripe strawberry is my favorite fruit with bananas coming in at a close second. These secretly healthy bars are sure to impress anyone you make them for, but I would not blame you at all if you keep them all to yourself.
INGREDIENTS YOU NEED TO MAKE STRAWBERRY COOKIE BARS
Base and topping:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/3 cup monk fruit or granulated sweetener of choice
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, chopped into squares
- pinch of salt
Strawberry filling:
- 1 cup chopped strawberries
- 1/3 cup monk fruit or granulated sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 2 tsp xanthan gum

Instructions To Make Strawberry Cookie Bars
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 8×8 inch pan with non-stick spray and set it aside.
- Place the strawberries, monk fruit, vanilla extract, and lemon juice into a pot over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce to a simmer and let cook for 10-15 minutes. Use a potato masher to smash your strawberries. Stir in the xanthan gum and continue to simmer for 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
- While the strawberries simmer, place your almond flour, monk fruit, butter and salt into a food processor and pulse until a loose dough forms. Remove 1/2 cup of dough and use your hands to break it into small crumbles. Place the crumbles into a bowl and place in the fridge until ready to use.
- Press the remaining dough into the bottom of your prepared pan and press it down evenly. Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes or until edges are golden brown. Remove and let cool.
- Pour the strawberry filling over your crust and spread it out in an even layer.
- Top the strawberry filling with the reserved crumbles and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crumbles are golden brown. Allow to cool completely, cut into even squares and enjoy!

these were amazing, thanks!
Thank you!
I noticed there was no indication where to put the vanilla extract-I assume it’s to be added to the strawberry, monk fruit, and lemon juice mixture in the beginning?
Very tasty bars, btw!
Thank you, so glad you enjoyed!
And yes, I will fix that vanilla extract right away!
