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.

The nutrition information, including calories, total carbs, protein, and fat per serving, is listed in the nutrition label below the recipe card.

What diets is this recipe compliant with?

  • Low-Carb and Keto: These bars contain just 2.4 grams of net carbs per serving and work perfectly for those who follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet.
  • Nut-Free: This recipe is free from tree nuts.
  • Coconut-Free: This pumpkin dessert does not contain any coconut products.
  • Gluten-Free and Grain-Free: This recipe does not contain gluten or grains.
  • Primal: This is a primal diet-friendly dessert.
  • Vegetarian: This recipe is compliant with a vegetarian diet.
  • Refined Sugar-Free: Made with Lakanto Monk Fruit Sweetener, this dessert does not include refined sugar.

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.

How to make these pumpkin cheesecake bars

Preheat oven to 325 degrees and line 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.

In a mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whip cream cheese until fluffy.

    You don’t have to let this cool for awhile before putting in the refrigerator?

      You can let it cool long enough that it won’t heat anything up in your refrigerator (for food safety purposes).

    Can you make these into individual muffin cheesecakes? What do you think the bake time would be? Can’t wait to try these!

      I haven’t tested this, so I can’t say for sure, but I would venture to say the bake time would be shorter. If you want a tried-and-tested muffin recipe that’s similar to this one, try these Cream Cheese Pumpkin Muffins!
