Servings: 9 lemon bars
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 1/2 cups super fine almond flour
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- 2 tbsp honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp salt
Filling
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup lemon juice
- 1/2 cup honey
- 4 tsp coconut flour
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350F and line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix together all the crust ingredients until a dough forms. Transfer it to the pan and press it down evenly, making sure the thickness is consistent throughout. I did it using a spatula.
- Pop into the oven and bake for 10 minutes.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, then mix in the lemon juice, honey, and coconut flour. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
- Once the crust is done, take it out of the oven and pour the filling over it. Return it to the oven and bake for another 15 minutes.
- Turn off the oven, crack the door open, and let the lemon bars sit inside for 15 minutes to cool gradually. It should prevent the lemon bars from cracking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool at room temperature for about 20 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and chill for at least 2 hours.
- Slice into 9 squares and serve immediately.
