Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.75 cup Granulated erythritol
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Lemon zest
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Powdered erythritol
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving extra hanging over the sides for easy removal.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine almond flour, granulated erythritol, melted unsalted butter, and salt. Stir until the mixture forms a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan, using your fingers or a flat-bottomed glass to smooth it out.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until the edges turn golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
In another bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, coconut flour, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the center is set and no longer jiggles.
Let the lemon squares cool in the pan on a wire rack for at least 1 hour. After cooling, carefully remove from the pan using the parchment paper edges.
Dust the top with powdered erythritol before cutting into squares.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy your low carb, luscious lemon squares!
