Sooooo delicious! I tasted one once cooled and went back for 2 more! Surprising my husband with these. Hopefully there will be some left when he arrives from the office. I followed the directions and it was perfect! Loving the keto way of life for 1 year now!

I am so excited to try this recipe! I am new to the keto lifestyle and so far I am loving it! My worst craving has been sweets and I love lemon bars! I have found several other recipes but this is the closest one I have found to my moms recipe!

In the instructions for the filling you say add all the ingredients except the xantham gum and powdered sweetener. Is that both of the powdered sweetners or does one of them go in the filling?

Never mind I didn’t read it correctly 😂

Can I use the powdered monk fruit instead of the erythritol that some of your recipes call for? Thank you!

Kathy,
You can, but even as much as I love Lakanto products, I do feel their powdered sweetener has a bit of an aftertaste. Erythritol (at least to me) does not.

I can't eat almonds. What would be a good substitute for the almond flour?

Amy,
The easiest thing to do would be to substitute it for coconut flour. You'll need to add some extra butter (probably 2 - 3 tbsp more) to make it moist enough to work with, but it should work out for you.
