Fluffy, tangy & bursting with fresh lemon flavors! Made with almond flour so they’re gluten-free! Such a perfect summer or spring recipe!
I’ve been obsessed with making lemon cake, lemon loaves and lemon anything. Lemon is such a bright and simple ingredient that adds so much flavor with just a few squeezes. A few squeezes on baked fish or in a cake makes a huge difference. It activates and blends flavors together!
These bars are made with almond flour so they’re gluten-free. I haven’t tried substituting with any other flour so I wouldn’t recommend any replacement. Coconut flour is not an alternative btw, that flour works very differently!
I have a lemon bar recipe and lemon poppyseed loaf recipe which are both my favorites! If you have a bag of lemons, have fun with it 🙂 Do lots of baking, add it to your savory recipes and more!

My husband loves lemon cake. How do you think this would taste without the glaze? I can;t use glaze or frosting
