Lemony Cheesecake Bars
These little treats made with coconut flour and almond flour were different and yummy! And you can make them keto friendly by changing out the powdered sugar with confectioners Swerve or monkfruit (we’ve not used either so you keto guys will know!). Just a refreshing little treat!
