These gluten-free lemon bars are a delightful escape from the ordinary, offering a refreshing burst of flavor that will make your taste buds sing.
Ingredients
Scale:
1 ½ cups almond flour
¼ cup granulated sugar (for crust)
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup unsalted butter (melted)
1 cup granulated sugar (for filling)
2 large eggs
½ cup fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, ¼ cup sugar, and salt. Mix well.
Add the melted butter to the dry ingredients and stir until evenly combined. The mixture should resemble wet sand.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes, or until lightly golden.
While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 cup of sugar, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and baking powder until smooth.
Once the crust is done baking, pour the lemon filling over it. Bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and slightly firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing into bars.
