I had bloggers block this week. That doesn’t happen too often, but I just couldn’t figure out what I wanted to make for all of you lovely people. So I asked my assistant, my 6 year old, for her input and she immediately said, “How about lemon bars?”. Well that sounded absolutely perfect to me!
I looove lemon bars and this recipe is amazing. In fact I am eating one as I write this 🙂 They are actually quite easy to make and perfect dessert for spring! YAY for spring!

These just came out of my oven and I had to snitch a bite. Yum! Thanks for a great recipe!
Love it! I could eat the whole batch myself 🙂
could I use an 8×8 pan? what portions would I change?
I think an 8×8 pan would work. I think the crust and the filling would be thinner.
Also found I need to use shorter baking time when I pour in the liquid 15-18 min.
Will these freeze? Thx.
Will these freeze? Thxxx.
I have not tried. I think it would work
I think there’s a typo in the additional toppings list. I think you meant Coconut Sugar for paleo not Coconut Flour.
