Paleo Lemon Bars

Ingredients

Crust

• 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
• 1/3 cup coconut oil
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 tsp salt

Filling

• 6 eggs
• 2 tsp lemon zest
• 1/2 cup lemon juice
• 1/3 cup honey
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 4 tsp coconut flour

Instructions

Crust

1. Preheat oven to 350 F. 
2. In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Mix well until a wet but firm consistence is formed.
3. Spray an 8x8 pan with non-stick spray.
4. Press dough into lined pan, making sure to press it out evenly and into the corners.
5. Bake for 20 minutes or until lightly browned and set through.
6. Let the crust cool.

Filling

1. While crust is baking, combine eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt and coconut flour. Beat with a hand mixer until a smooth, liquid batter is formed. It will be runny but don't worry, it will hardened when it's baking.
2. Pour mixture on top of the cooled crust and bake for 30 minutes. 
3. Cool completely then chill for 4 hours. 

This is a refreshing dessert on a hot summer day. I love that it's not too sweet.
