Healthy Lemon Bliss Bars (Gluten-Free & Naturally Sweetened)
Spring is the perfect time to refresh and renew—not just in our surroundings but also in the way we nourish our bodies. As the days grow warmer and brighter, lighter, citrus-infused treats feel like a celebration of the season. One of my favorite ways to embrace this fresh energy is with a healthy take on a classic lemon dessert. These Healthy Lemon Bliss Bars are naturally sweetened, gluten-free, and bursting with bright, tangy flavor—perfect for an afternoon treat or a guilt-free indulgence. Let’s welcome spring with a dessert that’s as vibrant and refreshing as the season itself!
Ingredients:
For the crust:
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
For the lemon filling:
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice (about 2 lemons)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tbsp coconut flour (helps thicken)
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions:
- Preheat & prepare: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Make the crust: In a bowl, mix almond flour, coconut flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla, and salt. Press the mixture evenly into the pan and bake for 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden. Let it cool slightly.
- Prepare the lemon filling: In another bowl, whisk together eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, maple syrup, coconut flour, vanilla, and salt until smooth.
- Bake: Pour the lemon mixture over the pre-baked crust and return to the oven for 18-20 minutes, until the filling is set but still slightly soft in the center.
- Cool & chill: Let the bars cool completely, then refrigerate for at least an hour before slicing.
- Serve & enjoy: Dust with a little coconut flour or powdered monk fruit for a classic look, then slice and enjoy!
These bars are refreshing, lightly sweet, and perfect for spring!
