Jujube Spelt Streusel Bars

Monday, October 22, 2018

Jujube, or Chinese date, is a hoarder of nutrients. Like dates, jujube fruit is loaded with energy, essential vitamins and minerals (magnesium, potassium, copper, niacin, calcium, manganese, phosphorus, and iron), which provide its many health benefits. These erythritol sweetened cookie bars with a Quark cheese & butter crust and a streusel topping are packed full of fibre and wonderful as a breakfast cookie or a healthy after school treat.

Jujube Spread	Streusel	Crust
300 g Jujube dates, red or black 70 g Erythritol 50 g Butter	100 g White spelt flour 50 g Erythritol Pinch of salt 80 g Unsalted butter, chopped 1/2 tsp Vanilla extract	100 g White spelt flour 70 g Whole spelt flour 50 g + 20 g Hazelnut meal 50 g Erythritol 1 tsp Baking powder 150 g 20% Quark 1 Large egg 50 g Butter, chopped and softened

Cover jujube dates with water and let soak for 1 hour. Using a paring knife, slice down lengthwise into the date. Pull open the date and remove the pit. Place them in a medium pot and fill with enough water. Cover the pot, bring to a boil and simmer for 25 minutes. Use an immersion blender and blend the jujubes until smooth.
Cook the mixture over low-medium heat until it has thickened, about 1 hour. Stir in butter and mix well. Set aside to cool.
Place spelt, erythritol and salt for the streusel together in a mixing bowl. Add in chopped butter and vanilla extract. Rub everything together until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Place all the ingredients for the crust, except 20 grams of hazelnut meal, in a mixing bowl. Beat with a handheld mixer until a smooth dough forms. Press the dough evenly into a 22x26x4cm baking pan lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the reserved hazelnut meal over. Spread the jujube spread over. Top with prepared streusel.
Preheat the oven to 180C/350F. Bake the bar in the middle of hot oven for 35-40 minutes until nicely golden. Remove and cool completely before slicing into bars.

Rich, delicate, moist and chewy - - these easy low carbs, gluten free hazelnut chocolate cookies are perfect for grab-and-go and an ideal treat for cookie fans on low carbs or anyone who follows keto diet. If you want to make them paleo friendly, just replace psyllium husk powder with arrowroot powder. Also almonds or macadamias can be used in the place of hazelnuts.

10 g Psyllium husk powder
10 g Arrowroot powder
120 g Erythritol
1 tsp Baking powder
100 g Salted butter, chopped and melted
1 Egg, medium
1 tsp Vanilla extract
150 g No-sugar added chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 180C/350F. Prepare a large baking tray lined with parchment paper.
Place chopped butter in a microwave-safe dish. Microwave, uncovered, on high until butter is melted, about 30 seconds. Take out and cool slightly.
Place the hazelnut meal, psyllium husk powder, arrowroot powder, erythritol and baking powder in a large bowl and mix to combine. Add in melted butter, egg and vanilla and mix well to combine. Stir through the chocolate chips.
Roll 2 tablespoonfuls of dough into a ball. Place the cookie balls on the prepared baking tray, leaving 5cm between each to allow room for spreading. You will have 12 cookie balls.
Bake for 10–12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly on trays before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
