01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a bowl, mix together 2 1/2 cups of sweetener, melted butter, and almond extract until well combined. Press this mixture firmly into an ungreased 9x13-inch baking pan to form the crust. Pop it into the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes. When it’s done, take it out and let it cool for around 10 minutes while keeping the oven on.

Step 2
Next, in another bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups of sweetener with the almond flour. Whisk in the eggs and lemon juice until everything is smooth. Pour this lemony filling over the cooled crust. Put the pan back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes. Once it’s finished, let the bars cool a bit before cutting them into 18 squares. Enjoy!
