Keto Low Carb Lemon Bars

Keto Low Carb Lemon Bars

  • Difficulty: easy

Sugar Free at it's best


Ingredients

    Shortbread Crust
  • 2-1/2 cups Almond Flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered Swerve
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
  • 1 large egg (whisked)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • Lemon Filling
  • 1/3 cup powdered Swerve (or Monk Fruit)
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 9×9 pan with parchment paper, hanging over the sides.
  2. Make the filling first, because it must be ready to go immediately when the crust comes out of the oven. In a medium bowl, stir together almond flour and powdered sweetener.
  3. Whisk in the eggs, lemon juice and lemon zest, until smooth. Set aside.
  4. To make the crust, combine the almond flour, sweetener and sea salt in a large bowl.
  5. Stir in the melted coconut oil, then the egg and vanilla. The dough will be crumbly, but able to be pressed together.
  6. Press the dough into the lined pan. Bake for about 13 to 16 minutes, until firm and golden.
  7. Remove the crust from the oven, and immediately pour the filling over the crust.
  8. Return to the oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until filling is set, but still soft.
  9. Cool completely on the counter, without moving or cutting. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing.

Rich, crisp and delicious


Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet onion
  • 1 cup pork rinds, crushed – your choice of flavor
  • 3 eggs, beaten

Directions

  1. Slice the onion in 1/4″ slices and rinse. Separate the rings carefully. Save the smaller ones for other dishes.
  2. Dip rings in a bowl of beaten eggs, wait for remainder of egg mixture to drip off back into the bowl.
  3. Coat the rings in your choice of crushed pork rinds.
  4. Dip into egg mixture again.
  5. Coat rings in pork rinds again.
  6. Place in air fryer at 380F for 5-7 minutes.
  7. Tip: Use one egg at a time. You do not want to saturate the egg mixture with the pork rinds for the last pieces of onion rings. Also watch out for maltodextrin on the nutrition labels for some of the pork rinds (especially the hot/spicy ones).
