Raspberry Pistachio Cake Bars (Easy and Moist)
These gluten-free dairy-free raspberry pistachio bars are super moist, tender and easy to whip up in one bowl. The nuttiness of the pistachio and tanginess of raspberries pair up perfectly together!
Equipment
- 1 x 9-inch square pan
Ingredients
- ⅓ cup refined coconut oil melted
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 ¾ cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2 pinches salt
Toppings:
- ⅓ cup unsalted shelled pistachios roughly chopped
- 1 cup raspberries patted dry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/ 176°C. Line a 9 inch square pan with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, eggs, coconut sugar, honey, and vanilla together and whisk well.
- Stir in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. The batter will be thick.
- Pour the batter into the pan and spread evenly.
- Top with raspberries, crushing each one just a bit with fingers as you add. Sprinkle with crushed pistachios as well.
- Bake for 18 - 20 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. The middle can still be soft as it continues to cook out of the oven. Let cool for at least 15 minutes before cutting them into squares.
Notes
To avoid watery batter, make sure there is no water trapped inside the raspberries. Patting them dry with paper towels helps.
Do not crush the raspberries too finely as it could make them release too much moisture while being baked.
The batter will be thick. Make sure to spread well and flatten the surface so it bakes evenly.
