Full & Complete Ingredient List
Soft Square Batter
- 1 ¾ cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
- ⅓ cup allulose
- 1 tablespoon monk fruit sweetener (Lakanto or Swerve)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 2 large eggs, room temperature

How to Make Sugar-Free White Chocolate Cranberry Soft Squares
Step 1: Prep the Pan
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
Step 2: Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, whisk almond flour, coconut flour, allulose, monk fruit sweetener, baking powder, and salt.
In another bowl, whisk eggs, melted butter, cream, and vanilla. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix until a soft, thick batter forms.
Fold in white chocolate chips and cranberries.
Step 3: Bake
Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 22–26 minutes, until edges are set and the center is just firm. Do not overbake — softness is the goal.
Step 4: Cool & Slice
Let cool completely in the pan before lifting out and slicing into squares.
What to Serve with White Chocolate Cranberry Squares

- A dusting of powdered monk fruit on top

- Chill before slicing for clean edges
