Paleo Lemon Bars
Ingredients
For the Crust
- 1 1/3 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted (or vegan/grass fed butter)
- 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
For the Lemon Filling
- 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (about 2 large lemons)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
- 5 eggs
- 2 TBS coconut flour
- lemon zest (from 1 lemon)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper (I like to spray the dish with olive oil before adding the parchment paper to help it stick).
- In a large bowl combine the crust ingredients and mix well. Add the crust to the lined pan and gently press it down with a separate piece of parchment paper (make sure the crust covers the entire bottom of the pan).
- Bake the crust for 10-15 minutes, until lightly browned. While the crust is baking, whisk together the lemon filling in a separate bowl.
- As soon as the crust is done baking, pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust (leave the pan on the rack in the oven to reduce movement).Â
- Lower the oven temperature to 325°F and bake the bars for an additional 20 minutes or until the filling is firm.
- Remove the bars from the oven and let them cool for an hour then place the bars in the fridge and refrigerate for several more hours until they are cold.
- Once refrigerated, slice and serve! Store in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for 2-3 months.
