Gluten-Free Lemon Bars
Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
In a medium bowl, add the cup of sifted coconut flour, sifted coconut sugar, salt, honey, and coconut oil and mix until combined into a dough. This will be your crust.
Press the dough into a greased (with coconut oil) 8×8 inch pan.
Bake the crust in the oven for about 10 minutes, or until you see light golden brown edges. Cool crust completely at room temperature.
Add the eggs, coconut sugar, lemon zest, and honey, and whisk together gently. This will be your lemon topping.
Take the freshly squeezed lemon juice and add the sifted 2 teaspoons of coconut flour into the juice in a small bowl, stir so no clumps form, then pour it into the rest of the topping. Whisk until combined.
Pour the topping over the crust and bake for another 20-25 minutes or until the bars have solidified and are bright yellow.
Cut bars into squares. Cool completely at room temperature, then put them in the fridge overnight. Then enjoy!!
