These zesty keto lemon bars with almond flour are super delicious, sugar-free treats that are tangy, sweet, and incredibly easy to make. They feature a buttery crust topped with a creamy, tangy filling — simply irresistible!
(Make The Crust): Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F. Grease 20x30cm baking dish with butter.
In a bowl, add the almond flour, powdered erythritol and butter, mix well until combine.
1 ½ cups almond flour, ⅓ cup butter, 2 tablespoon powdered erythritol
Spread the mixture equally in the baking dish while pressing on it with your hand to flatten it.
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown. Leave it to cool while you make the filling.
(Make The Filling): In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the eggs using an electric hand mixer until fluffy, add powdered erythritol, lemon juice and lemon zest whisk again until combined.
3 eggs, ⅓ cup lemon juice, ¾ cup powdered erythritol, zest of one lemon
Add the almond flour, whisk until well incorporated.
1 cup almond flour
Pour the filling over the crust and bake for 14-15 minutes. Leave it to cool down then sprinkle some powdered erythritol on top. Slice and serve.
Notes
I highly recommend using powdered sweetener because if you made these bars with granulated sweetener, they will turn out so grainy and not as smooth as you like.
Here is my trick when I don't have powdered sweetener on hand, I just grind some granulated sweetener in the grinder until fine.
I recommend using fresh lemon juice for better results.
To store: Keep them in the fridge for 2-3 days or in the freezer for 1-2 months.
