Ingredients

These keto lemon bars are made with simple ingredients that are easy to find in most stores. You will need:

• 2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1/4 cup powdered Swerve sweetener
• 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with butter or nonstick cooking spray.

In a medium bowl, mix together the almond flour, melted butter, Swerve, baking powder, and salt until combined. Press the mixture into the prepared baking pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool while you prepare the filling.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until light and fluffy. Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, and heavy cream and mix until combined. In a separate bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the egg mixture to the cream cheese and mix until combined. Pour the filling into the cooled crust.

Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the center is set. Let cool completely before slicing into bars.
