Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350° F.
Use a pastry blender to fold together coconut flour, butter, and powdered sugar with a hand mixer for 4-5 minutes or until it’s a well mixed crumbly texture. The butter should be room temperature / semi melted in order to absorb the flour.
Using your hands, press the mixture into a 8x8 pan lined with parchment. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
While the crust bakes, grab a mixing bowl and beat the eggs. Add in lemon zest, lemon juice, and sugar. Mix well.
Pour wet mixture over baked crust. Return to oven and bake for another 15-20 minutes or until lemon mixture has completely set.
Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes, then sift powdered sugar over top.
Cut into 9 equal sized bars and enjoy!

Notes

This recipe has not been tested with other flours. Substitute with caution as coconut flour is much drier than other flours.
I recommend using butter when making the crust instead of coconut oil because the coconut flour will absorb too much of it, failing to create a shortbread texture.
If the lemon filling has set but isn't completely cooked through, that's okay. The texture will be more gooey once chilled (my preference)!
