Lemon Bars

Base

• ½ cup cassava flour

• 2 tbsp almond flour

• 2 tbsp coconut sugar

• ¼ cup butter, melted

• Pinch of salt

Lemon layer

• 2 eggs

• ⅓ cup fresh lemon juice

• Zest of 1 lemon

• ⅓ cup honey or maple syrup

• 2 tbsp cassava flour

• Pinch of salt

Method

1. Heat oven to 175°C.

2. Mix base ingredients and press firmly into a deeper small baking dish lined with baking paper.

3. Bake 10–12 minutes, until just lightly golden.

4. Whisk lemon-layer ingredients until smooth.

5. Pour over the hot base.

6. Bake another 12–15 minutes, until the edges are set but the centre still has a gentle wobble.

7. Cool completely, then chill before slicing.

8. Dust very lightly with icing sugar and cut into squares.

note: the deeper dish gives you that thicker, softer lemon layer yum
