Gluten-Free Tart Lemon Bars

Sharing is caring!

Gluten-Free Tart Lemon Bars have a wonderful combination of tart and sweet. Unlike most lemon bars these bars are also grain-free and refined sugar-free. Needless to say, these bars are not as sweet as most Lemon Bars in the USA. Indeed, they have a higher level of tartness that makes for the most wonderful and luxurious texture and flavor on the tongue and palate.

Therefore, if you like tart lemon bars this is the recipe for you. I usually find lemon bars a little too sweet for me. My mother is from Europe. In Europe, bakers don’t make frostings. They tend to put whipped cream with fresh fruit on top of cakes etc. I too don’t like my dessert to be super sweet. Flavorful but not so sweet my teeth hurt. My family’s and friends loved this recipe. It is tart and sweet.

I first started writing recipes when I got married over 30 years ago. However, my original recipes were not grain-free or refined sugar-free. Furthermore, I have had to learn new ingredients and how to use them. In all honesty, many of the products I use now use I had never heard of before I switched my diet.  In the beginning, of writing grain-free and refined sugar-free recipes, I began by revamping an old recipe that I had written.
