If you love limes, these super duper gluten free lime bars are going to be your new favorite cookie bar. They are tangy, yet sweet. Perfect for the whole family!

I am feeling a little guilty making sweet treats this week. Mr. Fearless Dining is out of town and I have nobody to share these with…except the kids :-). He really hates missing out on dessert so I will have to hide a few so he can try them when he gets back in town. This week’s recipes will be all about citrus.

Easy gluten free lime bars to be exact.

Orange, lemon, lime…and maybe even grapefruit since our small tree has produced 4 big grapefruits this year.

We have a giant lemon tree in our backyard. Because of this over producing tree, it is rare that I have limes on hand. I mean, why buy limes when I have dozens of lemons ready to pick almost year round?

If you have been reading my blog for awhile, I am sure you have read many of my silly stories of how I try to pawn lemons off on anyone I meet. The lemons get so heavy in our lemon tree that branches will break off from the weight of the lemons if we don’t pick lemons regularly.

Although I used limes in this cookie bar recipe, you can also use lemons to make gluten free lemon bars. (And if you need lemons, you know where you can get a big bag of them for free :-)).

How to make gluten free lime cookie bars:

The crust is so simple to make. Add the dry ingredients and then add melted butter.

Spread it flat in the pan. Here I used a 7×7 pan. I would probably recommend an 8×8 pan so the crust isn’t so thick.

Add the lime and other ingredients and then pour over the crust.
