Ingredients
Crust:
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1/3 cup ghee room temp*
- 1 egg room temp
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup tapioca flour
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- grated Zest of 1 lemon
Filling:
- 1/2 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice about 4 lemons
- Grated zest of one lemon
- 1/3 cup + 1 Tbsp raw honey
- 3 large eggs PLUS 1 yolk
- 1 Tbsp tapioca flour
- 1/2 tsp coconut flour
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 x 8” baking dish with parchment paper on the bottom and up the sides.
-
To make the crust, whisk together wet ingredients until smooth (or use an electric mixer, then stir dry ingredients in until well combined. Chill if necessary to form a dough (5-10 mins). Press crust into bottom of parchment paper evenly, then poke all over with a fork.
-
While crust bakes (see below), whisk together all filling ingredients in a large bowl until very smooth, set aside.
-
Bake crust 10-12 minutes or until lightly brown around the edges, then whisk filling mixture one last time and pour over HOT crust (important!) AND lower oven temp to 325 degrees F. Continue to bake another 15-18 minutes at 325, or until filling is just set in the center.
-
Allow the pan to cool on a wire rack completely, then refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving. Refrigerating overnight will work too.
-
To serve, cut cooled bars into 16 squares using a long sharp knife for neat edges.
-
Dust with organic powdered sugar, grated lemon zest or top with a dollop of coconut whipped cream and serve! Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
