When life gives you.. lemons? Paleo lemon bars (pure deliciousness) to the rescue! These are a perfect cool summer dessert. Crowd pleasers and a great protein rich, not too sweet, not too tart dessert.

These did not last very long in my house.. just a warning, they are super yummy! 🙂

Crust

• 1/2 cup almond flour (or sesame flour if allergic to nuts)
• 1/2 cup tapioca flour
• 3 Tbsp raw honey
• 2 Tbsp ghee or coconut oil (warmed if solid)
• Zest of 1/2 lemon

Filling

• 5 large eggs
• 1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
• 1 Tbsp tapioca flour
• 1/2 cup raw honey (warmed if solid)

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees
• Mix almond flour, tapioca flour, raw honey and lemon zest in a food processor until a crumbly dough forms
• Press into the bottom of an 8×8 glass baking dish
• Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown
• Remove from oven and allow to cool for 20 minutes
• To make filling, whisk eggs in a medium mixing bowl.
• In a separate bowl whisk the lemon juice and tapioca flour until fully combined.
• Whisk lemon mixture and eggs together, being careful to not over-whisk
• Whisk in the raw honey
• Pour filling over crust
• Place in oven and let bake for ~25 minutes or until just set (firm on outside, a little wiggly in center)
• Remove from oven and allow to cool, refrigerate until set, about 4 hours
