Introduction

Keto Lemon Bars are the perfect treat to satisfy your sweet tooth and your desire for something a little bit zesty and tangy. These keto lemon bars are also a breeze to make! We think these will become one of your new favorite keto dessert recipes!

If you’re like me, you love the irresistible combination of sweet and tangy. The two flavors, while seemingly opposite, work together perfectly to create an amazing flavor that we all love!

One of my all-time favorite desserts is Keto Lemon Pound Cake! The moist, zesty cake drizzled with a generous amount sweet icing is to die for.

These keto lemon bars are an even tastier (and easier to make) version of that classic recipe!

The key to any good lemon dessert is the use of fresh lemon juice and zest. I mean, these keto lemon bars will still taste great, even if you don’t use fresh squeezed lemon juice.

But, we think that everything tastes better when fresh, quality ingredients are used!

Keto Lemon Bars Made With Lakanto’s Monk Fruit Sweetener

We absolutely love Lakanto’s monk fruit sweetener. We use some form of this healthy and delicious sweetener in every single dessert that we make!

Lakanto’s monk fruit is an all natural, incredibly delicious, zero-glycemic sweetener that has a 1:1 ratio to sugar. This is especially helpful when converting traditional recipes into keto-friendly or low-carb recipes!

For these keto lemon bars, we harnessed the great taste of Lakanto’s granulated monk fruit. Granulated monk fruit is a granulated sugar substitute. Unlike many other keto-friendly sweeteners on the market, Lakanto’s monk fruit has no bitter or cooling aftertaste.

If you want to try Lakanto’s monk fruit for the first time, or if you just need to restock, shop their website and use our code, “BUTTERTOGETHER” at checkout to save 20% off your entire purchase!

This code is valid for every item on their site (including their delicious mixes and syrups!), not just sweeteners!

Zero Carbs In Monk Fruit Sweetener

Other than the incredible taste, the best part about Lakanto’s monk fruit is that it contains ZERO net carbs! That means that you can bake away without having to worry about excess carbs.

The reason that this monk fruit contains zero net carbs is because the four carbs per serving come from sugar alcohol. Sugar alcohol tastes sweet (which is great!!), but our bodies don’t recognize them as sugar and thus can’t metabolize (which is even better!!)!

Tips for Making The Best Keto Lemon Bars

You really can’t go wrong in making these keto lemon bars. They’re so easy to make, and they don’t require very many ingredients.

However, we’ve got a few tips to help ensure that these incredible keto lemon bars turn out tasting as amazing as they should.

Storing Keto Lemon Bars

If self control is your strong suit (and kudos to you if it is) and you end up with enough leftovers that some will need to be stored, fear not! These incredible keto lemon bars are super easy to store and taste great out of the fridge or freezer.

Where Can I Find Lakanto’s Monk Fruit Sweetener?

Many varieties of Lakanto’s monk fruit sweeteners can likely be found in your local health food store. Granulated monk fruit may even be available at your local supermarket!

However, unless we’re in a pinch, we prefer to order our monk fruit directly from Lakanto! Lakanto offers more options if you order directly from their website, and the price is typically better when ordering directly from Lakanto! Especially if you use a discount code!

As a reminder, you can use our code, “BUTTERTOGETHER” at checkout on Lakanto’s site to save 20% off your entire order! This code is valid site wide!
