Ingredients

• 1.5 cups almond flour
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend)
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 3 large eggs
• 0.75 cup lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 0.5 cup sweetener (erythritol or monk fruit blend, for filling)
• 1 tablespoon coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, 0.25 cup sweetener, and salt. Stir until well mixed.

Step 3

Melt the unsalted butter and add it to the almond flour mixture, stirring until it forms a dough.

Step 4

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan. Prick the base with a fork to prevent bubbling.

Step 5

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove and set aside.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, 0.5 cup sweetener, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 7

Pour the lemon filling mixture over the baked crust.

Step 8

Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.

Step 9

Allow the lemon bars to cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours for easier slicing.

Step 10

Cut into 16 squares and serve chilled. Optionally, dust with a low carb sweetener for garnish before serving.
