Ingredients

  • 1 cup gluten free baking flour or oat flour
  • 2 tablespoons coconut sugar
  • 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups plain nonfat or low-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/8 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon extract
  • 1 teaspoon tapioca flour
  • 2 teaspoons powdered stevia
  • 2 tablespoons lemon zest

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a bowl, mix olive oil, coconut sugar, almond milk, lemon juice, and salt until smooth. Add flour and stir until a soft, crumbly dough forms.
  3. Press dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until lightly golden. Let cool for 20 minutes.
  4. Lower the oven temperature to 325°F (165°C).
  5. In a separate bowl, mix Greek yogurt, eggs, lemon juice, lemon extract, tapioca flour, stevia, and lemon zest until smooth.
  6. Pour the filling over the cooled crust and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 35 minutes, or until the filling is set and edges are lightly golden.
  8. Cool at room temperature for 60 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours.
  9. Slice into bars and sprinkle with lemon zest before serving.

Notes

  • Use oat flour or gluten-free baking flour for best texture.
  • Adjust sweetness to taste using stevia, sugar, or maple syrup.
  • Let crust cool before adding filling to prevent separation.
  • Bars store well in the fridge and freezer—great for make-ahead desserts.
