Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, melted butter, and 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar-free sweetener. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
- Transfer the crust mixture into your prepared baking dish and gently press it down evenly to form the base. You can use the bottom of a flat cup or your fingers.
- Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20 minutes, or until the crust turns a light golden brown. Remove it from the oven and set aside.
- While the crust is baking, prepare your lemon filling. In a blender or using an immersion blender, combine the beaten eggs, ½ cup powdered sugar-free sweetener, xanthan gum, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy.
- Carefully pour the smooth lemon filling evenly over the warm, baked crust in the dish.
- Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until the filling is set and no longer jiggly in the center.
- Take the lemon bars out of the oven and let them cool down for at least 10 minutes. For a pretty finish, sift a little extra powdered sugar-free sweetener over the top before cutting them into 9 perfect squares. Enjoy your refreshingly healthy and tangy-sweet treat!
