Welcome to Spring, my lovely Downshifters! No better way to kick off sunnier days than with a little plate of sunshine (aka these lemon bars!). Can't wait to see you make them! Don't forget to tag me on social media. 🙂 xo – Lisa
Oh my goodness gracious. I love lemon bars. But find many too sweet. This recipe looks like a good balance
I like that you use HONEY not sugar BECAUSE I am a diabetic so NO SUGAR,, LOVE ME SOME LEMON BARS
They look great and I will give it a try THANKS for sharing your recipe
Hello, thank you for this recipe, I love everything citrus! Could you, please, make a healthy version of cinnamon rolls?
Holy cow, these are so delicious! I added extra coconut flour to the base crust as it was still pretty wet, but it turned out great anyway. Amazing lemon flavor and so fresh and zingy. I definitely recommend 🙂
Can I use tapioca starch?
Excellent recipe, tyvm for sharing, just lovely, I will make them this weekend , blessings to you and your family
Give me tangy over sweet. YUMMY
I have to try it
Wow!
Hi Lisa, I am allergic to Almonds so what flour can I use in it's place.
Definitely going to make this!
Where have you been all my life?! Lemon bars are my favorite but they’re usually so high in fat and calories. I love your channel I’m binging all the videos. Thank you for sharing all these!
Yummy 😋
Hi loved ur video can you tell me where you bought the glass jars I loved them thanks alot.
Good luck
Take care n God Bless.
Is it possible to have the measurements in units of weight. European and ~American cups vary, apart from the fact that packing a cup will surely contain more than necessary
No tapioca flour used?
I have just discovered your Lemon Bars. My daughter is gluten intolerant and never has nice things to eat that are also healthy so I will definitely be making these on the weekend before she comes over. Thank You.
My filling popped up and cracked with 20mins cooking? Why is that?
Looks So Delicious. Can xanthan gum or arrowroot powder be used instead of the tapioca flour?
My favorite.
Honey and powder sugar is not allowed in keto 🤔.
Thank you Lisa for this recipe. I tried it and it's so delicious. I used agave syrup instead of honey. It worked out well.
I just made these and my crust rose again while baking the filling 😭 now the filling is broken up by mounds of crust poking up through it and it doesn’t look very good
@Downshiftology – for someone who has egg and dairy allergies, is there anyway to substitute the eggs?
What is the calorie count for these?
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. Your videos always promote smiles!
Any suggestions for an egg substitute for vegans or those of us who cannot have them? Has anyone tried doing this with JustEgg?
GF banana nut bread plz
Can I use only gf flour
Love the lining paper tip…
Did anyone try this recipe with all purpose flour??
I really want to make this recipe but I didnt find tapioca flour.. Can I just substitute all of flour kinds to all purpose flour ?
About to make these for my husbands birthday. Hope your birthday is amazing as well! 🎉
Is it possible to make the filling egg-free? Which sub would you recommend?
I just made these but using only all prepose white flour. Haven’t tried yet lol but should be good.
Did anyone try this recipe with standard wheat flour? How did it turn out? And what to use instead of the tapioka flour? In my area unfortunately the options of flour are pretty limited…
Can't warm honey
