Paleo Lemon Bars Recipe

  • Recipe Submitted by on

 Ingredients List

  • Crust
  • 2 cups almond flour
  • 2 tbsp tapioca flour
  • 1/4 cup grass-fed butter OR coconut oil*, melted
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • Lemon Curd
  • 3 large eggs
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup beet sugar OR maple sugar
  • Zest from 4 lemons
  • 3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from about 6 lemons)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened and cut into cubes
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting

 Directions

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees °F.
Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
Combine all crust ingredients in a medium mixing bowl and mix well. Press evenly into the baking pan. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until crust is lightly brown.
While curst bakes, make the lemon curd.
Place lemon curd ingredients, except for the butter, in a small saucepan.
Over low heat, whisk the lemon curd until it becomes thick enough to coat the back of a spoon and take off heat. This process should take around 8-10 minutes.
Using a fine mesh strainer, strain the lemon curd into a medium mixing bowl. Add in the butter and stir well until melted.
Pour lemon curd over the crust. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes. Set aside, let cool completely, cover, and store in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to set.
Top with powdered sugar, slice, and devour!
