Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cups Butter
• 0.25 cups Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit)
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.75 cups Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
• 3 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Granulated sugar substitute (erythritol or monk fruit, for filling)
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 tablespoons Lemon zest
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar substitute (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to make removal easier.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, melted butter, granulated sugar substitute, and salt. Mix until a cohesive dough forms.

Step 3

Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the crust. Use the back of a spatula or your hands to smooth it evenly.

Step 4

Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges start to lightly brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

In another bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, eggs, granulated sugar substitute, coconut flour, and lemon zest until smooth and well combined.

Step 6

Pour the lemon filling mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 7

Return the pan to the oven and bake for another 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggles in the center.

Step 8

Remove the lemon bars from the oven and let them cool completely in the pan. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up before slicing.

Step 9

Using the parchment overhang, lift the lemon bars from the pan and transfer them to a cutting board. Slice into 12 squares or rectangles.

Step 10

Dust the bars with powdered sugar substitute for garnish before serving (optional).
