People ask are lemons OK on keto.

I get this question because it seems like there is not a lot of fruit that seems to be low in carbohydrates. Having said that, I must admit that I have been pleasantly surprised at the amount of fruit that can be eaten on a keto or low carb diet.

The truth is that lemons are friendly to the keto and low carbohydrate diets.

However, this is true in moderation as an average sized lemon nets out at about three carbohydrates. A bit of a warning goes out to look for added sugar if you are using lemon juice not directly from a fresh lemon.
 

This recipe is for anyone asking how do you make lemon bars from scratch.

Yes, there are all kinds of lemon bar recipes. Also, many of these recipe do have sugar added to them, unlike this recipe for lemon bars.

This lemon bar recipe has no added sugar in it.

Instead, it is sweetened with Maple Syrup.
Vegan and gluten free folks can use regular maple syrup.
Sugar free and keto low carb people can use a maple syrup alternative.
 

Here are some tips for making bars.

So I just mentioned that these vegan, keto, sugar free, and gluten free bars are sweetened with maple syrup rather than sugar. Also mentioned is that you can use use a maple syrup alternative instead of maple syrup itself.

Here are some more helpful tips for you.

1. This recipe calls for lemon juice. For best results, please use fresh lemon juice rather than store bought lemon juice. Not only will you avoid any added ingredients, you will have that true lemon flavor that makes these bars so good!
2. Also in this recipe, almond flour. An alternative to almond flour would be another nut flour that measures the same (ie not coconut flour) or oat flour.
3. Yes, these lemon bars are sweetened with maple syrup. If you are looking to use an alternative to maple syrup, please choose something that is liquid and measures like maple syrup measures. What you should keep in mind is that the maple syrup adds to the flavor of these bars as well as helps to hold them together.
