Ingredients
Crust Ingredients
- 8 tbsp plant based butter room temperature, semi-melted
- 1 cup coconut flour
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- ½ tsp lemon extract
- pinch salt
Lemon Filling Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 1½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 lemon (zest + juiced)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Toppings
- ½ tbsp powdered sugar
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)!
