Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups blackberries
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup erythritol
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter or coconut oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, erythritol, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and vanilla extract together until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring until a cohesive batter forms. The texture should be slightly thick and somewhat sticky.
- Gently fold in the fresh blackberries, being careful not to crush them completely. Some whole berries should remain to provide bursts of flavor.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly with a spatula. Ensure the blackberries are distributed throughout the mixture.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Remove from the oven and let the dessert cool for 10-15 minutes. This allows the bake to set and makes it easier to slice.
- Cut into 6 equal portions and serve warm. Optional: Garnish with additional fresh blackberries or a sprinkle of unsweetened coconut flakes.
Tips
- Use fresh, ripe blackberries for the most intense flavor and best texture.
- Make sure to mix dry ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping.
- Don't overmix the batter - a gentle fold keeps the texture light and tender.
- For extra richness, consider adding a tablespoon of melted coconut oil to the wet ingredients.
- Let the bake cool slightly before cutting to help it set and make slicing easier.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For a more decadent version, serve with a dollop of sugar-free whipped cream or a sprinkle of additional toasted coconut flakes.
