gluten free lemon coconut poppy seed bars

Ingredients

  • Servings: 16
  • crust:
  • 1/2 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 cup shredded toasted coconut
  • 1/4 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • zest of 1 lemon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons mott's® original applesauce
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • filling:
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice
  • zest of 2 lemons
  • 1/4 cup mott's® original or natural applesauce
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup cornstarch
  • topping:
  • powdered sugar
  • poppy seeds

Recipe

  • preheat the oven to 350 degrees f. line an 8-inch square metal, ceramic, or glass baking pan with 2 long pieces of aluminum foil, layering the pieces across one another and crimping the overhang over the sides of the pan.
  • make the crust: whisk the coconut flour, almond flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium mixing bowl. stir in the coconut, poppy seeds and lemon zest.
  • whisk the butter, applesauce, and egg yolk together in a small bowl, then stir into the crust.
  • press the crust evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking pan.
  • bake the crust for 10-15 minutes, or until the edges just start to brown. (baking time will be slightly longer for ceramic and glass pans than for metal pans.)
  • while the crust bakes, make the filling: whisk the eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and applesauce together in a medium mixing bowl until the eggs are well blended.
  • whisk in the sugar and cornstarch.
  • pour the filling over the baked crust and return the pan to the oven.
  • bake for 25-30 minutes more, until the filling is set.
  • cool in the pan on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then use the long edges of the foil to carefully lift the bars out of the pan and the rack.
  • cool to room temperature, then peel the foil off. dust the bars with powdered sugar and sprinkle with poppy seeds, then cut into squares or longer bars.
  • bars can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
