Set your oven to 300°F (150°C).

Grease and line an 8 by 8 inch pan with parchment paper.

To create a parchment template, place parchment over the pan, fold it, and cut it to fit.

In a mixing bowl, add 1 cup of almond flour.

Pour in 1/2 cup of melted butter into the bowl.

Add 1/4 cup of powdered sweetener to the mixture.

Add a pinch of salt and the zest of 1 lemon.

Mix all the ingredients together until combined.

Pour the crust mixture into the prepared pan and level it with a spatula.

Bake the crust in the oven for 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, check the crust; if you want it lighter, bake for 15 minutes instead.

Let the crust cool while preparing the filling.

Juice 3 lemons, straining to remove pulp and seeds.

Crack 3 eggs into a bowl and whisk to break them up.

Add 3/4 cup of powdered sweetener to the egg mixture.

Add 3/4 cup of almond flour and a pinch of salt to the mixture.

Add the zest of 1 lemon and mix until well combined.

Pour the filling over the cooled crust, tilting the pan to spread it evenly.

Bake the filling in the oven for 20 to 25 minutes, keeping an eye on it for the last 5 minutes.

Allow the bars to cool completely after baking.

Lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper.

Dust the top with powdered sweetener and some lemon zest.

Cut the bars in half, then cut lengthwise to create squares.
