"These raspberry coconut squares are the sugar-free, gluten free, low carb, keto version of my Grandmother's recipe that she used to make for us as kids. I think they come pretty darn close to her recipe and I'm super excited to share them with you... " -Kori
The BEST cookie bars. My Grandmother used to make coconut linzer bars when we were growing up. Her bars were amazing, and I think I've managed to recreate her recipe pretty close. I tested them on my family, and no one knew they were sugar free. 🙂
Easy To Make. As far as cookie bars go, I think these are pretty easy to make. YOu simply mix the crust, press it in the bottom, and bake. Once it comes out, you spread the raspberry filling, then top with the coconut filling and bake. Voila! Delicious raspberry coconut squares.
Healthy. One of the hardest things about following any kind of healthy eating plan - at some point, you will get a sugar craving. These will absolutely satisfy your sweet tooth - guilt-free. These are sugar-free, low-carb, keto, and gluten-free. Just don't eat too many!
Coconut Raspberry Bar Ingredients
- Butter
- Cream Cheese
- Almond Flour
- Coconut Flour
- Sugar Substitute: used in the filling and crust, you'll need a sugar substitute with a 1:1 sugar ratio.
- Egg: used in the filling and crust.
- Sugar-Free Raspberry Preserves: for test purposes, I used Smucker's Sugar-Free Red Raspberry Preserves. You can also use cherry preserves, cranberry, strawberry, and apricot too! Try not to pick one that is too sweet. It is best to choose one that will have a little tartness to balance the sweetness of the crust and coconut topping.
- Almond Extract
- Unsweetened Coconut Flakes

How To Make Sugar Free Raspberry Coconut Bars
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8" square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an inch or more to hang over the edge for handles.
2. Mix flour, butter, cream cheese, and sugar in a bowl using a pastry cutter or food processor until the mixture is crumbly. Add egg and process a few times until egg is incorporated.
3. Press crust mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake 375 degrees F for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.
4. Meanwhile, add eggs to a medium-sized mixing bowl and beat with a whisk. Add sugar, almond extract, and coconut flakes to the bowl. Stir until incorporated.
5. Remove crust from oven and spread raspberry filling evenly over crust.
6. Top with the egg and coconut filling, spreading evenly over the raspberry layer.
7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Allow bars to cool completely then remove from pan and cut into 20 squares.
Raspberry Coconut Squares Top Tips
- Soften cream cheese in the microwave for a few seconds until you can easily stir it with a spoon.
- Add the fresh toppings on last as it gives them a chance to bake a little.
Sugar Free Keto Coconut Squares FAQ's
The coconut bars taste best if eaten within 3 to 4 days after baking. This is optional, but I keep them in the refrigerator which seems to preserve the freshness longer.
Definitely. Coconut bars can be frozen. I like to cut them into bars first, then layer them in an airtight freezer-proof container. I use parchment paper to separate each layer of bars. The bars can be stored in the freezer for up to 3 months.
Some ingredients can be substituted in the coconut bars, yes. You can easily use a different sugar free berry preserve instead of raspberry. Raspberry is my favorite because of the tartness it provides against the sweetness of the bars.
You can also substitute any of your favorite sugar free and keto-friendly sweeteners as long as it has a 1:1 sugar ratio.

I gave these a 5 * for flavor. Mine did not turn out, maybe I was too hasty to tasty! They were very soft and all the butter ran out of the bottom? My top looked a little different too. Your coconut looked "fluffy" and mine was more of a layer. But, overall, they were really good. Will attempt again for sure and try to wait for them to cool next time!
Jennifer
I made these tonight, they were easy to make and very yummy!! Will definitely make them again, I used Sugar Free strawberry preserves because I couldn’t find the raspberry and they tasted great.
Melanie Garn
Am currently waiting for the crust to cook then, I will add fresh raspberries for my middle... then the coconut and egg topping to bake for 20 min or so!
seekinggoodeats
That sounds lovely! Let me know how the fresh raspberries are, I have never made them with fresh berries before. 🙂
Marilyn Hall
I just made these for a desert for Thanksgiving to take tomorrow. They are cooling now so I haven't tasted them. I made a cherry compote for the filling. Can't wait to try them. They look and smell wonderful!!
seekinggoodeats
Cherry compote sounds wonderful! Enjoy your holiday! 🙂
Jackie
Do you think I could substitute in coconut oil for half or all of the butter in the crust?
seekinggoodeats
I haven't made it this way, but I don't see why you couldn't substitute. Let me know how it turns out! Enjoy
BB
Could I use pecan flour instead of almond flour in the crust and would the ratio be different?
seekinggoodeats
I haven't used pecan flour before, but I think it would be okay! It just can't be as absorbant as coconut flour. The ratio of almond (pecan) flour and coconut flour should remain the same or the texture will be off. Let me know!
Courtney
Would these freeze well after baking?
Kori
Yes! I've frozen them before (to keep from eating them all). LOL! They get a little crumbly, but it's okay. Make sure to separate them first and if you have layers, put wax paper or parchment between the layers.
Jane
Loved these so easy to make. Next time I will cut back on the sugar in the coconut mixture....very, very sweet....maybe2/3 cup instead of full cup. But will definitely be making again DELISH!
Kori
Thank you so much, I'm super happy you enjoyed these! 🙂 I actually just made them again this past weekend.
Judy
Does the cream cheese go in the crust or the filling?
seekinggoodeats
Thank you for catching that! So sorry for the confusion. The cream cheese goes in the crust. I updated the post. Hope you enjoy! 🙂

Yum! I am doing a grocery pick-up, and will order the needed jam! Can't wait to try them. Thanks!
