Easy Instructions

The Crust

I absolutely love the crust for these gluten free lemon bars. It’s very similar to the crust we used for our gluten free fruit pizza, simple and naturally sweetened. Tip: Make sure that you use superfine ground almond flour for this so that it is not gritty. Almond flour is so great for gluten free baking because it’s actually just ground almonds…nothing else.

Instructions

The Filling

While the crust is baking, you can start to prepare the lemon filling…the best part, in my opinion! Like the crust, the lemon filling is 100% gluten free. You’ll need eggs, lemon juice, honey, and coconut flour. The coconut flour is what thickens things up a bit, but the nice thing is, you don’t need to use that much of it.
