If you’re not sure what to bring to your next summer BBQ, I got you covered with these Key Lime Pie Bars 👌🏼💚 Since 100% of the potlucks I’ve ever been to have someone with a gluten allergy in attendance, I made these gluten and grain free to make sure everyone can enjoy 😉 I always have GF baking products handy so I can whip up a healthy dessert with what I have in my pantry already. Specifically, Bob’s Red Mill flours and baking mixes are always a staple in my kitchen. Make sure you stock up on their website for your next backyard BBQ!
Key Lime Pie Bars
Ingredients
Crust
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tbsp coconut flour
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted and cooled
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 egg
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 6 limes juiced + zest from 1
- 5 eggs 4 whole and 1 just the yolk
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 325. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper.
-
Combine all ingredients for the crust until dough is formed. Press into the baking dish and bake for 14 minutes.
-
Combine all ingredients for the filling except the coconut flour. Once everything is combined, sift the coconut flour slowly into the mixture while whisking together.
-
Pour over the crust once it’s finished baking and bake for an additional 20 minutes. The filling should be set, but still a little jiggly.
-
Let it cool for 15 minutes then refrigerate for 3-4 hours. Sprinkle some powder sugar on top and serve with fresh lime! They will turn out yellow (not green because of the egg)!
