🍋These healthy lemon bars are light, creamy and perfectly tart!
Ingredients:
Crust
* 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
* 1/3 cup coconut oil
* 1/4 cup maple syrup
* 1/4 tsp kosher salt
Filling
* 6 eggs
* 4 tsp lemon zest
* 1/2 cup lemon juice
* 1/3 cup honey
* 1/4 tsp kosher salt
* 4 tsp coconut flour
Instructions
Crust
1. Preheat oven to 350 F.
2. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Mix well until a wet, but firm consistence (like shortbread) is formed.
3. Line an 8×8 ceramic pan with parchment paper.
4. Press dough into lined pan, making sure to press it out evenly and into the corners.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until fragrant, lightly browned and set through. Let cool.
Filling
1. While crust is baking, combine eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt and coconut flour. Beat with a hand mixer until a smooth, liquid batter is formed. It will be runny, but don’t worry, this is the way it’s supposed to be.
2. Pour mixture on top of the cooled crust and bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely then chill for 4 hours.
3. Remove bars from pan, cut into 16 squares and top with a shake of powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
