Luscious Lemon Bars: A Keto Delight

Ingredients

• Crust:
• 2 ½ cups of a low-calorie natural sweetener like Swerve®, for a touch of sweetness
• 8 tablespoons of melted butter, to bind everything together
• ½ teaspoon of almond extract for a hint of nutty flavor
• Filling:
• 1 ½ cups of a low-calorie natural sweetener such as Swerve®, for a guilt-free indulgence
• ¾ cup of almond flour, adding a nutty texture
• 4 eggs for richness and creaminess
• Juice of 3 lemons for a zesty, citrusy twist

Step 1

Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for the perfect bake.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups of sweetener, melted butter, and a hint of almond extract, blending them together until smooth. Gently press this delightful crust mixture into a 9x13-inch pan, allowing it to set the stage for your scrumptious bars.

Step 3

Slide the pan into the preheated oven and let the crust bake for 15 to 20 minutes until it turns a lovely golden hue. Once done, take it out of the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes, keeping the oven nice and warm.

Step 4

Next, whisk together 1 1/2 cups of sweetener with almond flour in a separate bowl. Stir in eggs and a splash of lemon juice for a zesty kick. Pour this luscious mixture over the now-cooled crust, spreading it evenly.

Step 5

Pop the pan back into the warm oven and let the bars bake for another 20 minutes, filling your kitchen with tempting aromas. Once ready, slice them into 18 bars and enjoy!
