You are in for a special treat today. I am giving you all of the yummy lemon flavors, without all of the bad stuff. These paleo lemon bars are gluten free, dairy free, grain free, and refined sugar free.

I didn’t really tell my kids all of this. I learned long ago if I use the healthier word, they won’t touch it. Even as teens!”

Lemons are one of my favorite fruits to use in desserts. Check out my popular Gluten Free Lemon Bundt Cake recipe or my Gluten Free Dairy Free Lemon Donuts recipe. I owe all of my lemon goodness to our very productive lemon tree. Our lemons often turn out the size of small grapefruits!

This one was the size of a small pineapple! (My daughter had a little fun with it!)

These paleo lemon bars are filled with a lot of good things including my new favorite grain free flour, Cassava Flour. If you haven’t tried this flour yet, you are in for a treat. It is light and fluffy like a starch, so be careful when you dump it into the bowl.

You will also find lots of almond flour for a protein boost!

Chia Seeds

I used two tablespoons of chia seeds in the crust part of this recipe. They do add a small crunch, so please know they are optional. Chia seeds add nutrition that includes:

• healthy omega-3 fats
• protein
• iron, calcium, vitamins, and minerals

Substitutions for this dairy-free lemon bars recipe:

There are a couple of variances you can do with this recipe. The first we already talked about, the chia seeds.

Second, you may notice, these lemon bars have a somewhat golden tone. I used blond coconut sugar to keep this paleo. My daughter got a food intolerance test back and she can’t have honey…if you really want your lemon bars to look more yellow and lemony, feel free to use organic sugar, or honey in your recipe.

Are you ready to try this easy paleo lemon bars recipe? I made a video, but here are a few picture steps to help get you started:

The first step is to mix up the crust.

What ingredients can you use to make a lemon bars crust?

For this recipe, I like to used shredded coconut, chia seeds, and almond flour. The almond flour adds some protein, which helps balance out the sugars.

Other fun ingredients for a crust include:

• gluten free flour blend
• tigernut flour
• flaxseed meal

Add the almond flour, coconut, coconut sugar to a bowl. Whisk to blend, then add coconut oil and an egg. Mix well.

Pour the crust mixture into a pan and flatten with a spoon.

Whisk the ingredients to make the lemon layer in a bowl.

Pour the lemon mixture onto the crust and bake.

Allow the lemon bars to cool then serve!
