Ingredients
To make these delicious lemon bars, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the gluten-free flour, shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Press this mixture into the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- While the crust is baking, prepare the filling. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and granulated sugar until well combined.
- Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, baking powder, and salt to the egg mixture. Stir until smooth.
- Pour the lemon mixture over the baked crust and return it to the oven for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is set and does not jiggle.
- Once done, remove from the oven and let cool completely in the dish. Place it in the fridge for at least an hour to chill.
- Once chilled, cut into squares and dust with additional powdered sugar if desired. Enjoy your delicious gluten-free coconut lemon bars!
