Nut-free keto pumpkin cheesecake bars FAQS

Before you make this recipe, read over the answers to these commonly asked questions and look through the step-by-step photos. By doing this, you’ll ensure that you make the recipe right the first time!

Are there any ingredient substitution options?

• Classic Monk Fruit Sweetener: Golden Monk Fruit Sweetener from Lakanto can be subbed in here at a 1:1 ratio. Swerve or erythritol would also work. Powdered stevia or liquid stevia will not work.
• Pumpkin Pie Spice: I purchase mine from Amazon, but if you want to make your own from home, you can make this pumpkin pie spice recipe and then use 1 tbsp + 1 tsp of it in these cheesecake bars.
• Cream Of Tartar & Baking Soda: Cream of tartar and baking soda need to be used together in this recipe. If you do not have one or the other, you can substitute in 1/2 tsp of gluten-free baking powder. If you use baking powder, completely omit both cream of tartar and baking soda.

What is monk fruit sweetener? Where can I buy it?

Monk fruit contains zero calories, net carbs, and glycemic sweeteners. It tastes like traditional sugar and incorporates really well into baked good recipes.

I purchase my monk fruit sweetener from Lakanto on their website and have it delivered. If you want to do this, you can use discount code REALBALANCED at checkout for 20% OFF your order.

If you’d rather find and purchase monk fruit sweetener in-store, many grocery stores, especially specialty stores and Costco, carry Lakanto’s products.

How many grams of net carbs per serving?

Each serving contains 2.4 grams of net carbs and 1 cheesecake bar is equivalent to 1 serving. This recipe yields 12 cheesecake bars.

How to store bars after baking and chilling?

Refrigerator Storage: Store prepared cheesecake bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Freezer Storage: Individually wrap slices of chilled cheesecake bars in plastic wrap and then in foil. Alternatively, you can store all of the cheesecake bars together, but they may become soggy after thawing. Store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 1 month. When you’re ready to eat, allow cheesecake bars to thaw for 2-4 hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator overnight.
