These Coconut Flour Lemon Bars are a delightful and nutritious dessert, combining the tangy freshness of lemon with the lightness of coconut flour, perfect for a guilt-free treat.
– 1/3 cup coconut flour –1 pastured egg –1/4 cup butter melted –1/4 cup coconut oil melted –1/4 cup cashew butter –1/4 cup coconut sugar –1 tbsp lemon zest –1 tbsp lemon juice
Prepare and Bake the Crust: Combine coconut flour, melted butter, melted coconut oil, cashew butter, coconut sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Mix until a sticky dough forms.
Make the Lemon Filling: In a separate bowl, whisk together honey, lemon juice, lemon zest, and coconut flour until smooth. Add eggs one at a time, mixing just until incorporated.
Pour Filling Over Crust: Pour the lemon filling evenly over the cooled crust. Tap the pan gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles and ensure even distribution.
Bake Until Set: Bake the bars for 20-25 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly. The residual heat will continue to set the filling as it cools.
Cool and Dust with Coconut Sugar: Turn off the oven and leave the pan inside for 40-60 minutes to cool gradually. Once cooled completely, remove from the pan using the parchment paper.
