Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the sides for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using your fingers or a flat-bottomed glass to smooth it out.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, coconut flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.

Step 6

Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 7

Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.

Step 8

Let the lemon squares cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. After cooling, carefully remove from the pan using the parchment paper edges.

Step 9

Dust the top with powdered erythritol before cutting into squares.

Step 10

Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your low carb, luscious lemon squares!
