Keto Lemon Bars For The Win! #keto #ketorecipes
I feel like I’m winning at life when I figure out an awesome snack/dessert bar packed with ALL the good things–healthy fats, fiber, protein and low or no sugar. This one is not only hitting on all of those points, but they are DELISH! And they don’t even suspect a thing!
Ingredients
Shortbread Crust:
• 5 Tbsp salted butter, melted
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1 heaping Cup blanched almond flour
• 1/2 heaping cup coconut flour
• 3 Tbsp Monk Fruit/Erythritol “sugar”
• pinch of sea salt
Filling:
• 3 eggs
• Juice of 3 large lemons
• Zest of ½ a lemon
• 2/3 cup Swerve Confectioners Sugar
• 1 cup Blanched Almond flour
• 1 scoop (4 Tbsp) Collagen Powder
1. Preheat your oven to 350
2. Make the Crust! Whisk the almond flour, “sugar” (Swerve) and salt together in a medium-sized bowl. Then add in the melted butter, egg yolks, and vanilla and mix with a spatula until a dough forms.
3. Spray the bottom of an 8 x 8 in. square baking dish with a little oil, then place parchment over it (it stays down better that way!). Add the dough and press it outwards with your hands so that it covers the bottom of the dish evenly.
4. Bake the crust for about 10-15 minutes. Start preparing the filling while it’s cooking.
Filling:
1. In that same bowl, whisk the wet ingredients until creamy and combined. Then add in the dry ingredients and whisk again. The filling should be “wet”.
2. Take out the crust now and let it cool slightly before adding the filling.
3. Pour the filling on top of the crust.
4. Bake for 20-25 min or until the edges just start to pull away from the parchment paper.
5. Let them cool completely before placing them in the fridge.
6. Refrigerate for at least an hour, then cut them into 16 squares.
7. Sift powdered sugar over the top of the bars just before serving. The bars are best served chilled. Stored covered in the fridge
