Easy Gluten Free Lime Bars
Easy creamy gluten free lime bars. The whole family will love these sweet-tart cookie bars.
Ingredients
For Crust:
- 1 ¼ cup almond flour
- ¼ cup Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Gluten Free Flour Blend (*Note, my flour blend has xanthan gum included. If yours doesn't, add 1 teaspoon.)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- ½ teaspoon baking powder aluminu,-free
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter melted
For Lime Batter:
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- ⅓ cup lime juice
- 3 large eggs or 4 small
- ¼ cup condensed milk see note
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- In a bowl, add dry ingredients for the crust and mix.
- Add melted butter and mix well into a soft dough.
- Press crust into a greased 8x8 pan.
- In a medium bowl, add batter ingredients and whisk to blend.
- Pour on top of the crust and bake for 20-25 minutes until done in the middle. The actual baking time may vary depending on the size of your baking pan.
- Remove the bars from the oven and place on a cooling rack for 30 minutes. When they have cooled, place plastic wrap over the bars and refrigerate them for 1-2 hours to chill.
- * Optional: Garnish with more lime peel and powdered sugar
Notes
- You can make this recipe dairy-free by using vegan butter or coconut oil instead of butter and coconut condensed milk.
- You can substitute lemon if you do not have limes. Fresh juice is better than bottled.
- Use almond flour and not almond meal.
- To make these nut-free and/or coconut-free, use the crust recipe from my Gluten Free Cranberry Bars recipe.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- Freeze by flash-freezing the bars, then placing them into a freezer bag.
SPECIAL NOTE
Please know that every gluten free flour blend has a different starch to grain ratio. If you use a blend I didn't test, you may need to adjust your moisture levels in your baked goods.
