What You Will Need
For the Crust:
- Almond Flour – 3/4 cup of fine almond flour. I used the Organic Fine Almond Flour by the brand Prozis. You can use the code KATIE10 for 10% off their website!
- Salt – 1/2 teaspoon.
- Coconut Oil – 2 tablespoons of organic coconut oil. You can get this at Prozis with my discount as well!
- Greek Yogurt – 2 tablespoons of plain, nonfat Greek yogurt to help the crust stick together.
- Monk Fruit – 1/4 cup of confectioners (powdered) style monk fruit or sweetener of choice.
For the Filling:
- Eggs – 3 large eggs.
- Lemon Juice – 1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Lemon Zest – The zest of one large lemon. This really brings out the lemon flavor!
- Monk Fruit – 1/4 cup of granular monk fruit or sweetener of choice, for the lemon filling.
How To Make Them
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray an 8×8 baking dish with non-stick spray.
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat the coconut oil, Greek yogurt, almond flour, salt, and monk fruit with an electric mixer.
- Press the mixture evenly and firmly into the bottom of the baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the crust are slightly golden.
- In the meantime, make the filling. Beat the eggs, lemon juice, and lemon zest until smooth and slightly bubbling, approximately 2 minutes.
- Pour lemon mixture over the crust into your 8×8 baking dish.
- Bake for 25 minutes, or until the lemon filling is set. Cool completely in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
- Once cooled, cut into 12-16 bars.
