Recipe Tips
- Gluten-free and paleo baking can be tricky, so if it doesn't work out, make sure you followed each step correctly and accurately weighed your ingredients.
- These lemon bars are best made using fresh ingredients, so try and use fresh lemons. If you only have one lemon, you can always do a mixture of fresh lemon juice and bottled lemon juice.
- If you do not eat all of the bars in one sitting, I would recommend keeping them in a sealed container in the fridge. I would keep the lemon bars for up to a week before discarding. However, they may last a bit longer than that.
