Lemon Bars

These are an absolutely amazing treat from my awesome friends Katie and Jackie at Primal Women in the Kitchen.  These will be a true test to your self control because they possess the taste to make you eat yourself into a sickness, even though your full you will not stop, I guarantee it.  I changed up there recipe slightly but this is all theirs and so glad I came across it.  Thank you ladies :)

Servings: 36 1 inch squares
Prep Time: 15 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Cool Time: 2 Hours

Tools you may Need:

Ingredients(Topping):

  • 6 Whole Eggs
  • 1/2 Cup Raw Organic Honey
  • 1/2 Cup Coconut Oil
  • 1 Cup Lemon Juice (8 lemons)
  • Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
Ingredients (Crust):
Process(Topping):
  1. Whisk your eggs, honey, and lemon juice together in a small sauce pan
  2. Place on your stove over medium/high heat and add coconut oil
  3. Stir until coconut oil melts and then continue stirring until the mixture thickens and starts to bubble
  4. Once thick, remove from the heat and place in a bowl in your refrigerator to cool
Process(Crust):
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 Degrees F
  2. Place your almonds and macadamia nuts in a food processor and blend until in small chunks, you do not want a flour consistency, you want little chunks
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine nuts with the honey, melted coconut oil, and eggs and mix well
  4. Grease an 8×12 inch baking pan, I used coconut oil and then spread your nut mixture over the entire pan
  5. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until your crust is done, it will pass the toothpick test
  6. Cool your crust completely before applying your topping
  7. Once your crust is cool, spread your lemon topping over your crust, sprinkle as much unsweetened shredded coconut as you want over the topping, and then return to the refrigerator or freezer, I like mine better frozen
  8. Keep it refrigerated or frozen until you serve it and then return the remaining to the fridge/freezer
  9. Enjoy

    Is this how you get women to fall in love with you? No but seriously, these look insaaanely good!! Btw, just made the mixed berry fruit cake bars tonight…AWESOME!! Just used cashews instead of almond and macademias because it was all i had on hand. You're fantastic!

  • George

    Haha maybe I do, I think this approach is better than a cheesy pickup line after wasting money of wheat ridden alcohol lol. Oh yes those fruit cake bars were great, I am so glad you loved them, These lemon bars are dangerously good

    Would you say these are more tart or sweet? I prefer my lemon bars to be fairly tart.
    I haven't made my standard recipe since it now contains forbidden ingredients, and I'm looking for one to replace it. I miss the lemony goodness!

  • George

    Alex if you use lemon juice out of a bottle it is more sweet since it has all the honey too, If you stick to straight lemon juice and then toss in some lemon zest I think you will get closer to that tart you are looking for, or just tone down the honey a bit

    Best paleo recipe I've made so far!! Had non-paleo guests for dinner and they devoured these. Yummmmm :)

    I love these! I just made them and they were total yum. I did 1/2 lemon juice and 1/2 pineapple juice though. I love it… so hard not to eat the whole pan!

  • George

    Oh that is such a good idea with the juice mix, on my to do list now :)

  • Elizabeth

    pineapple juice has a lot more sugar and carbs though, cant wait to try them
