Keto Almond Squares

38 ratings

These deliciously simple almond squares are light and fluffy with a hint of lemon and a crunchy top of slivered almonds.

Where xylitol has been used in the recipe, this can be replaced with erythritol or your preferred low carb sweetener of choice.

Perfect for afternoon tea or as a lunch box treat!

        Can I use ghee instead of regular butter?

          Ghee is a one-to-one substitution for American butter

        Delicious, I loved this and shared it with family and friends. Had mine with the keto chocolate nice cream(though I used Cacao in the recipe instead of cocoa) and a tiny drizzle of honey.

          Loved this recipe. Used erythritol in place of xylitol, with 2 tablespoons extra to make it equivalent to the quantity of xylitol.

            I became allergic to xylitol. Can anyone suggest a good alternative and amount?

                My go-to sweet treat. Very quick to make too which makes it a winner in all ways. HINT I add the lemon zest which makes it extra delicious.

                              This is the best treat I have found on Keto! So amazing and bakes perfectly - fluffy and so flavourful! This is a game changer for me!! I followed the directions exactly other than adding a touch more Almond extract...and it was absolutely perfect. Can’t thank you enough for this recipe!!

                                Wow, this is super good. My only problem will be not eating the entire thing in one day! Best bread-like thing I've had since starting keto 4 months ago!

                                I made these into bite size mini muffins and they are great! I used erythritol and added a tsp of vanilla instead of lemon juice. Even my "donut lovin" husband thought they were good

                                Love this recipe! Took out the lemon juice, added another tablespoon of almond milk. Added 1/3 of a cup of dark chocolate chips. So delicious!
