Keto Lemon Bar Recipe:
Ingredients:
Almond flour crust
- 1.5 cup blanched almond flour
- 3 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoon butter extract
Lemon Bar-Wet
- 3 large eggs
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 2 teaspoon lemon extract
- 2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 teaspoon liquid monk fruit or stevia (for added sweetness)
Dry Ingredients
- 1/4 cup blanched almond flour
- 2 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 cup granulated sweetener
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
Almond flour crust
- Preheat oven to 350°F
- Combine all ingredients and press down evenly into an 8x8 baking dish. Bake for 12 minutes in preheated oven then remove and allow to cool
- To cool quicker place in refrigerator but make sure it's cool before adding the filling
Lemon bars
-
Preheat oven to 325°F
-
Combine all dry ingredients and set to the side
-
In a mixing bowl crack 3 eggs and 1 egg yolk then whisk. Then add lemon juice, extracts and liquid sweetener
-
Whisk in all dry ingredients until smooth and combined. You'll notice it thicken up rather quickly
-
Pour on top of cooled crust and bake for 25 minutes. Make sure custard top is smooth and not any loose liquid.
-
Remove and allow to cool completely on rack. You can eat it now but I suggest the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the top to set firmly
Helpful Recipe Tips
- Fresh lemons or lemon juice, it does make a difference in flavor but I use the lemon juice in the store most times. And, I still enjoy the recipe at the end of the day without all the added hassle of hoping I get enough juice from the lemons I have, to avoid having to run back to the store to buy more.
- Try it crustless, I have made it crustless twice and I like it that way as well. Not to mention I can eat even more guilt free!
- When is it done, the keto lemon bars are done between 20-25 minutes but make sure when you pull them out the custard is set across the entire top, No runny or loose areas.
