Easy Lemon Squares

Prep time: 5 minutes

Baking time: 22 minutes

Cooling/resting time: 10 minutes

Makes 8 squares

Ingredients:

For the crust

• 2 cups almond flour
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil, measured solid
• 1 egg, room temperature
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon coconut palm sugar

For the filling

• 4 eggs, room temperature
• 1 tbs lemon zest
• ½ cup fresh lemon juice
• 1/8 cup coconut palm sugar
• 2 tbs coconut flour
• 2 tbs coconut milk, soft – make sure the coconut milk is from a can but not hardened (as it would be from storing in the fridge). If it’s hard, simple melt it over low heat.

Instructions:

Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees.

For the crust:

Melt the coconut oil for the crust.

In a small bowl combine all ingredients and mix until everything is sticky.

Line an 8×4 pan with parchment paper.

Scoop the mixture into the pan and use a silicone spatula to press the crust down evenly.

Bake for 10 minutes and remove from the oven. Let sit in pan.

For the filling:

In a larger bowl, mix together the coconut flour and palm sugar. Add in the remaining ingredients and use a handheld mixer to whip on medium for 2 minutes. Make sure no clumps remain.

Pour the lemon mixture over the crust and pop in the oven.

Bake for 22 minutes then shut the oven off.

Let sit in the oven as it cools for ten more minutes.

Remove from the oven and let cool fully in the pan.

Once cooled, pull out the parchment paper and cut into squares. Store in the fridge
