Peanut Free Paleo Almond Flour Lemon Bars

Bright, tangy, and just sweet enough, these lemon bars hit that perfect balance between dessert and something that feels almost refreshing. The crust comes together with almond flour, coconut oil, and coconut sugar — no wheat, no refined sugar, and absolutely no peanuts or peanut-adjacent ingredients anywhere in the recipe. That matters more than it sounds, because plenty of packaged desserts and even some almond flour brands carry cross-contact warnings that make baking feel like a gamble. Here, every ingredient is straightforward and easy to vet at the store. The filling is built on fresh lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, eggs, and arrowroot starch, which gives it that silky, sliceable texture without any cornstarch or mystery thickeners. Straining the filling before it goes into the oven is a small step that makes a big difference — you get a smooth, glossy top that looks genuinely impressive. Chilled and dusted with a little coconut sugar, these bars are the kind of thing you bring to a gathering and watch disappear before you've had a second one yourself.
