Ingredients
-
For the crust:
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour (180g)
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol (30g)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (56g)
-
For the filling:
- 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice (180ml)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 4 large eggs
- 3/4 cup powdered erythritol (90g)
- 2 tablespoons almond flour (15g)
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
-
Special notes:
- For powdered erythritol, you can grind granulated erythritol in a blender or food processor until it reaches a powdered consistency.
- Make sure to use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor.
Cooking Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal.
-
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt for the crust. Mix well.
-
Add the melted butter to the bowl and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
-
Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
-
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, powdered erythritol, almond flour, and baking powder until well combined.
-
Pour the filling over the partially baked crust, spreading it evenly.
-
Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the edges are lightly golden.
-
Remove the lemon bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the baking dish.
-
Once cooled, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Transfer them to a cutting board and slice into 12 bars.
-
Serve the keto lemon bars chilled and enjoy!
