Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust

  • 2 cups almond flour (organic)
  • 1/3 cup monk fruit sweetener
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 4 tbsp coconut oil (softened)
  • 4 tbsp plain nonfat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 30 g protein powder (optional, for a high protein version)

For the Frosting

  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 15 g protein powder (optional, for a higher protein version)
  • Monk fruit sweetener (to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2–3 tsp unsweetened almond milk (as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 325°F (163°C) and line a square baking dish with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, protein powder (if using), monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt thoroughly to evenly distribute all dry components.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Incorporate eggs, softened coconut oil, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract into the dry ingredients. Mix until you achieve a smooth, thick batter consistency.
  4. Spread and Bake: Evenly spread the batter into the prepared baking dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the center is puffed up and the edges turn golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
  5. Prepare Frosting: While the bars are cooling, combine softened cream cheese, protein powder (if using), vanilla extract, and a few teaspoons of almond milk in a small bowl. Mix until the frosting reaches your desired smooth and spreadable consistency. Add monk fruit sweetener to taste if you prefer it sweeter.
  6. Frost and Chill: Spread the prepared frosting evenly over the cooled bars. Slice into 16 squares. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set the frosting before serving. Enjoy your Almond Flour Sugar Cookie Bars!

Notes

  • You can omit protein powder for a traditional version.
  • If you prefer a sweeter frosting, increase monk fruit sweetener gradually.
  • Make sure coconut oil is softened, not melted, for better batter texture.
  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Store leftover bars refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
  • These bars are great for a low-carb or gluten-free diet.
