Keto Lemon Bars

 Keto Lemon Bars

Keto Lemon Bars are a delightful low-carb dessert option with a tangy and sweet lemon filling over an almond flour crust. Here's a simple recipe to make these delicious keto-friendly treats:

Ingredients:

For the Crust:

• 1 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup keto-friendly sweetener (e.g., erythritol or stevia)
• 1/4 cup melted butter (or coconut oil for dairy-free)
• A pinch of salt

For the Lemon Filling:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup lemon juice (from fresh lemons)
• 1 tablespoon lemon zest
• 1/2 cup keto-friendly sweetener
• 2 tablespoons almond flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.

2. In a bowl, mix the almond flour, keto-friendly sweetener, melted butter, and a pinch of salt to create the crust mixture.

3. Press the crust mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking pan in an even layer.

4. Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until it's lightly golden. Remove it from the oven and let it cool while you prepare the lemon filling.

5. In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, keto-friendly sweetener, almond flour, and baking powder until well combined.

6. Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust in the baking pan.

7. Bake the bars for about 20-25 minutes or until the filling has set and the edges are slightly golden.

8. Allow the bars to cool in the pan, then refrigerate them for at least 2 hours to firm up.

9. Once the bars are chilled, use the parchment paper overhang to lift them out of the pan. Place them on a cutting board and cut into squares or bars.

10. Serve your Keto Lemon Bars and enjoy this refreshing and zesty keto dessert!

These bars are a delightful combination of the sweet and tart flavors of lemon, making them a perfect keto-friendly treat for those who enjoy citrus desserts without the excess carbs.
