Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup butter, melted
- 0.5 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 3 whole large eggs
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 0.75 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 0.75 cup granulated erythritol
- 2 tablespoons coconut flour
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, 0.5 cup of erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix until the mixture resembles a crumbly dough.
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan to form the crust.
Bake the crust in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the lemon filling. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and lemon zest until well combined.
Add the lemon juice, 0.75 cup of erythritol, and coconut flour to the egg mixture, whisking until smooth and lump-free.
Once the crust is baked, remove it from the oven and pour the lemon filling over the hot crust, spreading it evenly.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the filling is set and the top is just slightly golden.
Remove from the oven and let them cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Once the bars are fully chilled, cut into 16 squares and serve.
