I love chocolate desserts, but lemon comes in a close second. If you’re eating dairy-free, gluten-free, or are vegan, it can be difficult to find a good lemon dessert, but you’re in luck. These dairy-free lemon bars are also gluten-free.

Dairy-Free Lemon Bars

This delicious dairy-free lemon dessert is made with natual sweeteners and real lemon for the perfect combination of tartness and sweet. We’re using almond flour, and there are no eggs in this recipe–so vegans and those of you eating gluten-free are covered–although everyone will love these tasty lemon squares.

They’re the perfect addition to any dessert tray, or take them to a potluck, serve them at a baby or bridal shower, or make a batch of these gluten-free, dairy-free lemon bars to snack on at home.

    These look incredible. Give. We have a few members of our family who can’t eat gluten, it has become a contest to see who can come up with the best gluten.free foods that everyone likes. I think this is going to be my next contribution.
