Ingredients

  • 2 cups Almond Meal - see post for alternatives, for crust
  • ½ cup Tapioca Flour - see post for alternatives, for crust
  • ¼ cup Coconut Oil - see post for alternatives, for crust
  • ½ tsp Baking Powder
  • ¼ cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup - see post for alternatives, for crust
  • 2 tbsp Lemon Juice - please use no added sugar
  • ½ tbsp Lemon Zest

  • cup Sugar Free Maple Syrup - see post for alternatives,
  • 2 tbsp Coconut Oil - see post for alternatives
  • 2 tbsp Tapioca Flour - see post for alternatives,
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract

Instructions

  • Start by making the crust. Preheat the oven to 350 and prep a square baking pan with parchment paper that overhangs the pan slightly
    parchment-lined square metal pan
  • In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or a whisk to mix together the almond meal, baking powder and the tapioca flour. Then blend in the coconut oil and syrup. Transfer this mixture to the prepared baking pan and press it into the pan to form the crust. Bake this for 10-12 minutes or until it begins to brown. Remove the crust from the oven and allow it to cool
    press into pan
  • For the lemon layer, in a saucepan over medium heat, heat together the lemon juice, zest, coconut milk, remaining maple syrup alternative, remaining coconut oil, remaining tapioca flour, and vanilla extract. Whisk this continually while it cooks to break up the lumps and avoid burning. When the mixture is blended and resembles a lemon curd consistency you can remove it from the heat and transfer the mixture to the prepared crust/base in the square pan
    pour lemon curd
  • Refrigerate until set after allowing to cool at room temperature for for to ten minutes. This should take about three hours to set. Top with sugar free powder sugar if desired.

Recipe Notes

You can use either almond meal or almond flour for the base of these bars. The difference between the two is really in the texture result that you are looking for.
Also mentioned above was how to cut these bars as neatly as possible.
The best way to keep your lemon bars from this recipe neat is to first allow them to refrigerate for the full allotted time and then use the parchment paper to remove them from the pan before cutting them into squares.
This recipe offers many variations in the ingredients.
I suggest that you refer to the recipe itself for the ingredients that may work best for you.
