  • Author: chef Jennifer
  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 9 servings 1x

Description

This Sugar-Free One-Bowl Lemon Dessert is a bright, soft, and moist treat with a tender crumb and fresh citrus flavor. Made with almond flour, coconut flour, Greek yogurt, and sugar-free sweeteners, it is lower in carbs and sugar than traditional lemon desserts. Everything comes together in one bowl for an easy, fuss-free recipe that is perfect for dessert, brunch, or an afternoon treat. Serve it chilled or at room temperature, with an optional sugar-free lemon glaze for extra citrusy sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale

Sugar-Free Lemon Dessert

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar-free sweetener, such as allulose or monk fruit
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup plain unsweetened Greek yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Lemon Glaze

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar-free sweetener
  • 1–2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour, granulated sugar-free sweetener, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Add the eggs, melted butter, Greek yogurt, fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract.
  • Mix until the batter is smooth and fully combined. Avoid overmixing, as this can make the dessert dense.
  • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. The dessert should be set but still moist.
  • Let it cool in the pan for 15–20 minutes. For cleaner slices, allow it to cool completely.
  • If using the glaze, whisk the powdered sugar-free sweetener with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Add more lemon juice for a thinner glaze or more powdered sweetener for a thicker glaze.
  • Drizzle the glaze over the cooled dessert and sprinkle with additional lemon zest, if desired.
  • Slice and serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the brightest citrus flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter.
  • Allow the dessert to cool completely before slicing for cleaner pieces.
  • Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freeze the unglazed dessert for up to 2 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before glazing and serving.
  • For a lemon-blueberry variation, fold 1/2 cup fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter.
  • For lemon-poppy seed flavor, add 1–2 tablespoons of poppy seeds.
  • For a dairy-free version, use coconut oil instead of butter and dairy-free yogurt.
  • The glaze is optional and is not included in the nutrition information above.
  • Nutrition is approximate and may vary depending on the specific brands and types of sweeteners, flours, butter, and yogurt used.
