Instructions
Lemon Bar Base
Combine almond flour, erythritol, baking powder and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add vanilla, stevia, egg and butter. Mix with hand mixer or food processor. Add flour mixture
into butter mixture in 2 batches.
Refrigerate dough for at least 1 hour.
Pre-heat oven to 375F and line a 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper or spray the pan with non-stick spray.
Transfer the chilled dough to the baking pan and press down the dough with your hand or a spatula.
Bake for 6-8 minutes - base should slightly be under cooked. Make the filling while the base cools.
Lemon Bar Filling
Turn the oven down to 350F.
In a large bowl add eggs, egg yolk, lemon juice, lemon zest, erythritol, stevia and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Then add coconut flour, almond flour, and gelatin. Combine and allow to thicken for 5 minutes.
Pour filling into cooked crust and bake for an additional 12-15 minutes.
Remove the bars from oven and allow to cool. Once room temp, transfer to the refrigerator for
1 hour to continue setting.
If desired, top with powdered erythritol prior to slicing and serving. Best served cold and stored in an air tight container in the fridge up to one week.
