When I was a child, one of my mom’s go-to dessert recipes was lemon bars.

I’ve missed her lemon bars . Although I didn’t realize how much, I was working on freezing lemon juice, and the hankering came on strong. Time to add these to my collection of gluten-free recipes.

Gluten-Free Lemon Bars Recipe

This gluten-free lemon bars recipe is exactly like hers – that is to say, it’s perfect!

From the lightly sweetened, buttery crust, to the gooey, lemony filling, to the powdered sugar on top. Ever part of this dessert is delightful.

I have to warn you though, when I make lemon bars, I make them scream “LEMON”! If you’re not a strong sour flavor kind of person, you might want to cut back on the lemon juice a little. Say… to half a cup instead of three quarters.

I’m fortunate to be married to a person who’s favorite flavor – well one of them anyway – is lemon. We even make lemon meringue pie for his birthday ever year instead of having cake! So the strong flavor suits us both. 🙂

    I have the recipe, but not the directions. Where are they? I wanted to make these today, but not sure if you will get this soon enough, so I will wait if need be.
    Thanks!

      Hi Sarah, Coconut flour is a completely different animal, and for the most part, you’ll need to find recipes formulated specifically for it’s use. For these lemon bars, you may be able to use this coconut flour pie crust in place of the one in this recipe.

      Yes, though you may need to reduce the cooking time slightly.

    Hi there…
    My daughter has Celiac disease, so I am always looking for gluten free desserts!
    I have gluten free Graham crumbs…would this work in these delightful lemon bars?

    Thanks so much….

      I’ve never used crumbs in lemon bars, but almost any kind of gluten-free flour should work.
