LEMON BARS | easy, healthy recipe
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
Preheat oven to 350
In a large bowl, combine ingredients for the crust and mix until a wet, but firm consistency, like shortbread is formed.
Line an 8×8 ceramic pan with parchment paper.
Press dough into lined pan, making sure to press it out evenly and into the corners.
Bake for 20 minutes or until fragrant and set. Let cool.
FILLING
While crust is baking, combine ingredients for filling and beat until a smooth, liquid batter is formed. It will be runny, but don't worry, this is correct!
Pour mixture on top of the cooled crust and bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely then chill.
Top with a shake of powdered sugar, cut and serve!
NOTES
I used a ceramic baking dish lined with parchment for this recipe. I've found that glass pans tend to burn more easily.
The coconut oil can be swapped out for softened butter if you prefer.
When pressing the crust batter into the pan, make sure to press it all the way out to the edges of the pan and in to the corners.

I think I’m definitely going to make this thank you so so so much!!!!
I love to bake so I’m really excited to try this!
How many carbs ?
Thanks for the kosher shoutout ☺️ they look so yummy!!! After Passover will be giving a try!
Anytime! Enjoy the recipe.
Can I substitute coconut flour with anything else? I don’t have any arrowroot or tapioca starch and am not leaving the house right now!
Do you have any cornstarch? I think in a lot of recipes, cornstarch and arrowroot are used as substitutes for one another.
oats flour might also work.
Guys try these muffins too https://youtu.be/lA9TIbQI_vA
I can’t wait for you to make bone broth soon on YouTube
That would be a great idea.
these look so good! sadly i cant make them cuz i dont have lemon…. 🙁
Save the recipe for when you do! then you can look forward to it 🙂
I wish I could get the flour, but all the baking flours of Bob’s Red Mill are all out. Having a very difficult time to find flours in stock either online or store.
Oh darn!! I hope they restock soon. Good luck!
Yes I wanted to order before this video even went up. All the ingredients in this recipe are sold out.
I actually think your pretty Clean & Delicious Dani, Just Say’in 🙂 tehe
Why, thank you. LOL!
Could I suggest an idea for videos. Could you consider a video with a review of best pantry staples and meal prep as families navigate through COVID-19. Include Cooking from scratch to make healthy, easy family meals when you can’t go out to shop or choices are limited. There are a lot of folks that have limited knowledge around this kind of thing given the lure of modern convenience. Stay safe.
Can’t wait to try! I was wondering if I could use almond flour instead of whole wheat due to being gluten free?
Oh I’m glad you asked this, I had the same question.
I love lemon bars and these look absolutely amazing! Thank you Dani!
Thanks Kati! They are really good.
Hi! This recipe seemed sooooo good, I jumped to do it right away!!!
I used whole spelt flour, but unfortunately the dough was too liquidy.. I added coconut flour to thicken it…don’t know if I did well, but for sure 3/4 if cup was not enough for my flour type
Love that you tried to make the recipe work with what you had…. that’s a true home cook!! Curious to hear how they turned out… did you try adding more flour?
These look amazing! I have to try this out. Question- Can you use cornstarch instead of tapioca or coconut flour?
Oh gosh those lemon bars look fantastic! I love bob redmill’s products, in particular his rolled oats, they are the best.
I’ve been using Bob”s Red Mill for years. Love there Scottish Oatmeal, have it almost everyday, just the way he likes it with a dab of butter.
