Keto Lemon Bars Recipe:

Ingredients:

For the crust:

1 ½ cups almond flour

¼ cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
¼ teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted

For the filling:

4 large eggs
½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 3-4 lemons)
1 tablespoon lemon zest

¾ cup powdered erythritol or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener
3 tablespoons almond flour
Optional: Additional powdered erythritol for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch (20×20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered erythritol, and salt for the crust. Add the melted butter and stir until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it firmly into an even layer on the bottom. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the edges are lightly golden.

Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, powdered erythritol, and almond flour until well combined.
Once the crust is baked, pour the lemon filling over the warm crust and return the pan to the oven. Bake for an additional 18-20 minutes until the filling is set.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely at room temperature. Then transfer it to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours to firm up.

Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and transfer them to a cutting board. Cut into squares or bars of your desired size.
Optional: Dust the tops of the bars with a little powdered erythritol for an extra touch of sweetness.
Serve the keto lemon bars chilled and enjoy!
