Making paleo lemon bars
These bars are super easy to make. I use maple sugar in these because it’s light in color, but coconut sugar will work great if that’s what you have. The bars may just be a little darker in color, but the taste will still be great. Lemon zest and juice is added for maximum lemon flavor and then fresh strawberries are folded in. The strawberries should be diced so they distribute evenly.
Paleo Glaze
This strawberry glaze or frosting is so delicious! The base is coconut butter which I use for a lot of my desserts. It is hard at room temperature so pop it in the microwave for about a minute and stir it good before measuring. Combine that with a strawberry for flavor and color, a little maple syrup and lemon juice of course. The result is a tangy and sweet glaze the pairs perfectly with the bars.
Storing the cookie bars
These are best kept in the fridge. Like most paleo baked goods, they will go bad quickly if not stored chilled. These especially get soft after about an hour at room temperature. They last up to 10 days in the fridge though and are delicious cold.
