Chow down on these healthy lemon bars for a treat that’s deliciously sweet yet low in sugar! And, complete with a gluten free crust option. Made with freshly squeezed lemon juice and lemon zest, every bite is bursting with bright, vibrant, refreshing citrus flavor. Best of all, they couldn’t be easier to prepare. I’ll show you how to make lemon bars with only 5 ingredients!
A comforting, crispy, buttery shortbread crust, topped with a tangy-yet-sweet lemon curd filling—this is seriously one of my favorite sweets of all time. I first made these healthy lemon bars years ago, and the recipe just gets better and better. And believe it or not, a gourmet goodie like this isn’t as complicated as it seems. This is truly a 5 ingredient lemon bars recipe, made with just flour, butter, granulated sweetener, eggs, and lemons. That’s literally it!
Personally, I love a glutinous shortbread crust, but I’ve also made this crust with oat flour for a gluten free option and they turned out great. For low sugar lemon bars I recommend using granulated erythritol or stevia, but you’re also welcome stick with classic sugar as well. Whichever route you choose, the result will be equally scrumptious and equally irresistible!
