Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the lemon filling:

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener)
  • 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional: unsweetened shredded coconut for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8×8-inch baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, erythritol, melted coconut oil, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until crumbly and well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even layer.
  3. Bake the Crust: Bake the crust in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly.
  4. Prepare the Lemon Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, erythritol, lemon juice, lemon zest, coconut flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  5. Combine: Pour the lemon filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly.
  6. Bake: Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the bars to cool in the pan, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours before cutting into squares. Sprinkle with additional shredded coconut if desired before serving.
