If you’re like me, you’ve been missing lemon bars. I don’t know what it is about this easy little treat — maybe the mystery is in its simplicy — but they are universally loved and bring a smile to anyone’s face as they savor the subtle tart/sweetness that is so perfectly blended in a lemon bar. There’s just no reason not to be able to still enjoy that simple pleasure, gluten free.
Lemon Bars
Crust Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup (5 1/3 Tbs.) butter or non-dairy alternative (e.g. Earth Balance Buttery Sticks®)
- 1/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 1 cup Jules Gluten Free™ All-Purpose Flour
Filling Ingredients:
- 2 eggs (or egg substitute of choice, such as 1/2 cup extra firm tofu blended with 1 tsp. baking powder)
- 3/4 cup granulated cane sugar
- 2 Tbs. Jules Gluten Free™ All-Purpose Flour
- 2 tsp. finely shredded lemon zest
- 3 Tbs. lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp. gluten-free baking powder
- Powdered sugar (optional)
Preheat oven to 350 F.
Crust Directions:
In a medium bowl, beat butter with a mixer on medium to high speed for 30 seconds. Add the 1/4 cup of sugar; beat until combined. Beat in the 1 cup of flour until crumbly, being careful not to over-mix. Press mixture into the bottom of an un-oiled 8x8x2 baking pan. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden.
Filling Directions:
Combine eggs, sugar, flour, lemon zest, lemon juice, and baking powder; beat 2 minutes or until thoroughly combined.
Pour filling over baked crust. Bake 20 minutes more or until set and lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack. Cut into bars only when completely cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired, before serving.
Makes 20 bars. This recipe doubles nicely when baked in a 9×13 pan.

Stacy M said: on January 16, 2011
Can you use regular white C & H Sugar in place of the Wholesome Sweetners granulated cane sugar?
Jules said: on January 17, 2011
Absolutely – regular white granulated or evaporated cane sugar or organic, vegan, or even coconut palm sugar would all work.
Stacy M said: on February 27, 2011
These were fabulous! Had my neighbor over and she loved them! What a treat. Thank you so much Jules! Off to try bread!
ashlie said: on April 8, 2011
the family thought i just made these to make them and with in a few moments they were gone. they didnt even know they were gluten free…guess imma have to make more. thanks for the amaizing things you do. (:
Jules said: on April 8, 2011
Ashlie- that’s fantastic! Isn’t it fun when people don’t know they’re eating GF?! You will have to make more, though! : )
glenda the good foodie said: on April 8, 2011
This sounds so good, my mouth is watering!
I love discovering great food that is gluten free. Finding ways to love what you eat and it be good for you is an adventure!
Jules said: on April 9, 2011
Yes, Glenda – “an adventure” is a great way of describing it! A very rewarding adventure, don’t you think?! : )
Katie M said: on April 14, 2011
These sound delicious and easy! Will this recipe work if I use EnerG egg replacer?
Jules said: on April 15, 2011
Hi Katie, I love Ener-G egg replacer in cookies, but in this recipe, I think I’d try a gelatine egg replacer recipe instead. Let us know how it works out!
Bree D said: on August 15, 2011
I’ve “liked” you on Facebook and love lemon delights and like you, when I zest, I scrape my knuckles something fierce!
Joan Funk said: on August 15, 2011
I LOVE this recipe…it’s SO amazing…and I would LOVE to win one of those zesters…mine always bite my knuckles as well.
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Joan – isn’t it true? I used to dread zesting! No more! Here come lots more lemon and lime and chocolate (!) recipes!!!!
Diane said: on August 15, 2011

RobinN said: on August 15, 2011
Jules,
I always love these lemon bars. Thanks for posting a reminder that it’s time to bake some more. I may make them later this week after we gobble up last night’s baked goody. [I baked a lemon-ricotta cheese tart using your flour for the tart's crust. (Of course, why would I use anything else?)] So, you can see, I already have lemons on my brain.
Thank you so much for all that you do for us gluten-free folk! My whole household and my friends thank you, too. They get to happily indulge because of you!
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Thanks RobinN!!! So glad to bring happiness to everyones’ taste buds! Your Lemon-Ricotta Cheese Tart sounds downright delicious! We must be on the same lemon-wavelength right now!
Alicia said: on August 15, 2011
I like you on facebook!
Sivan said: on August 15, 2011
I LOVE lemon bars, I havent had a decent one in years. I ‘liked’ your facebook post. I cant wait to make these for my CD sister and I!
Kelly Williamson said: on August 15, 2011
This looks amazing!I am going to have to try it this weekend!!
Sheryl said: on August 15, 2011
Lemon bars made with Jules GF flour are my go-to recipe when I do desserts for a group. I have a Meyers lemon tree so I zest the lemons (lots of zesting going on) and squeeze the juice (lots of squeezing too) then I put it all in the freezer so I can make yummy GF Lemon bars all year long! Tip: freeze the juice in ice cube trays.
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Sheryl – what a fantastic tip! Wish I could have some of the fruit of your lucky lemon tree! I just talked myself into wanting a lime tree … now I just have to find one!
Mary Brinton said: on August 16, 2011
I “liked’ your Facebook page a long time ago. Well, for me. Almost the first day I was officially gluten free.THIS recipe is a must. My husband loves all things lemon. Need I say more? I agree with what you said about zesting – knuckles always manage to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and this tool looks like it makes is easier.
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Hi Mary – you’ll love this recipe and this zester is so much easier and quicker – I was shocked! I have a microplaner and thought that was great, but I’ve really enjoyed this handy tool!
Sandy said: on August 16, 2011
I LOVE your recipe! I ‘like’ you on FB all the time:)
Cheryl Bischoff said: on August 16, 2011
Woowza, that tool looks amazing and I just made you lemon bars with my son last week and he definatly didn’t want to use the zester for fear of cutting his hand. The bars are fab.
Karen said: on August 16, 2011
My grandma’s lemon bars (not GF) have been a favorite mainstay at my families gatherings for generations. These look just as yummy and I can’t wait to try them for a GF version at our next family event! The zester tool looks like a great tool.
Evelyn said: on August 16, 2011
I am a FB fan, and I LOVE the look of these! I’ve been craving lemon bars for quite some time, so I’m excited to give these a try!
Amy said: on August 16, 2011
Oh my Jules! Thank you! I cannot tell you how excited I am about these lemon bars! I’ve had some other gluten free versions and they just didn’t stand up. Can’t wait to try the recipe! Also – I love lemon meringue pie. My grandma used to make the best! I would love to make a gluten free version for my dad – so it was also friendly for me!
Julia Luncan said: on August 16, 2011
I have a recipe for lemon bars from a gfree cookbook and it is yummy. However, your’s looks much easier and fewer ingredients. Can’t wait to try!!
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Julia – I’m all about easy recipes with just a few ingredients! Hope you like it!
Clare said: on August 16, 2011
Hi Jules,
I adore my Beater Blade – use it for most of my mixing, so I know I’d love the zest nest too.
I like sweet and tart at the same time, so will have to try your lemon bars, but I also adore Amanda Hesser’s lemony broth with gf pasta. It requires lemon zest too and is so good.
Lynda said: on August 16, 2011
Before I bought your flour and made some of your recipes, I thought I was forever doomed to never have a great tasting sweet again. I already liked your FB page!
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
No gloom and doom just because we’re GF, right Lynda?! So glad you’re eating tasty treats again!
Stephanie said: on August 16, 2011
I’ve been buying your flour mix for a few years now and every recipe I try comes out fantastic!!! Thank you for making eating gluten free easier for all the moms that have young children with celiac disease. I have never tried Lemon Bars before but they sound delicious!! I know my daughter will love them!!:)
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Ah Stephanie, thanks so much!!! Definitely makes me smile – so glad I can help!
Minna Mononen said: on August 16, 2011
I must try these! Recipe sounds so delicious.
Shelley Orenstein said: on August 16, 2011
Looks like a great zester. I have been a follower of yours since going GF about 2 1/2 years ago. Your flour is the only one that I have used, even though others have tried to get me to use other flours. Thanks for all that you have done for me over the years.
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Thanks Shelley, so glad you’re happy enough to stick with my flour!
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Well hello there Jules.. How come this is my first visit to your page? So very happy that I found it. I love lemon and lemon bars are one of my all time favorite treats. I also found you on facebook and Liked .. I’m going to have to look around your page a bit and enjoy myself… gluten free is guilt free !! Have a Happy Day.. Jules ♥
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Yes Jules, what took you so long to find me!?
Welcome to my blog & FB!!!
Dawn said: on August 16, 2011
I’m definitely a fan of yours on FB!
My favorite lemon recipe is an old timey “Lemon Sponge Pie” recipe. Very refreshing on a hot summer day! Can’t wait to make these lemon bars for my family!
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
OOH Dawn, Lemon Sponge Pie?? I think I need the recipe!
Sarah said: on August 16, 2011
I simply love lemon squares. I have a recipe that I use that people who are not gluten free request. The only problem is I don’t have a real zester.
I have clicked like on your facebook page hoping that I can win that wonderful zester to make more lemony treats.
yvonne said: on August 16, 2011

cindy said: on August 16, 2011

Cindy — have you seen my Key Lime Pie recipe!? If you love lemon pie …. I’m just sayin’!
Diana Novellano said: on August 16, 2011
I liked you a long time ago. I love this recipe! My other fav lemon recipe is lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting.
Jules said: on August 16, 2011
Diana – I, too, am a sucker for all things lemon! Your lemon cupcakes with lemon cream cheese frosting idea sounds divine!
Laura said: on August 16, 2011
My husband is the celiac not me but since I do the shopping and cooking, everything GF falls to me! Your blog, along with all the others out there, have made all the difference in helping keep my hubby on the diet and me sane in this transition! The zester looks awesome and I’m a sucker for new kitchen toys. Can’t wait to try the recipe and give hubby a sweet treat this weekend.
KarenO said: on August 16, 2011
I just liked your facebook page. Would love to win a zester!

I have “liked” you on FB. Lemon poppyseed muffins would be great!
Jenny said: on August 16, 2011
I’m a fan on facebook – that zester is awesome and those lemon bars look delicious.
Jen said: on August 16, 2011
My favorite lemon item is lemonade. Maybe it’s really simple, but sometimes the best things in life are the simplest!
Carrie McMahon said: on August 16, 2011
How could I not like your facebook page RE: lemon bars!?! Though lemon bars are my #1 (yes, preferred even over chocolate-based treats), I haven’t had them in the 3 years I’ve been GF. Thank you for helping to end that unhappy streak!
Jules said: on August 17, 2011
Carrie – so happy I could be helpful to you!!!
Mary Hancock said: on August 17, 2011
These lemon bars look great.
I “liked” your FB book page. Looking forward to checking our your flour and mixes further and would LOVE to win the zester!!
Holly said: on August 17, 2011
Ah Jules, I love reading your blog! You are wonderful and I love how you continue to advocate, education and encourage those with celiac disease and other allergy sufferers. I’m so happy the rest of the world gets to share in the wealth of information and joy that you have for cooking and doing it in a healthy and safe way. I happily “liked” you on facebook.
Holly
Jules said: on August 17, 2011
Thanks so much Holly! You are so sweet! I am so happy that I can contribute and help others living gluten free; I feel very blessed that I have found a way to do so!

debra z said: on August 17, 2011
my favorite lemon recipe has always been lemon bars – my grandmother used to make them for us when we visited
Bonnie said: on August 17, 2011
Now this is a recipe I have to try (and yet I’ve only been eating gluten-free for 2 weeks).
Liked your page on FB, too.
Sheryl Edwards said: on August 17, 2011

Rie Collett said: on August 17, 2011
Thanks for this delicious sounding recipe, can’t wait to try it. Liked you on FB too!
Stephanie said: on August 18, 2011
I find lemon bars are too heavy in fat content. Sometimes I feel local GF bakers substitute fat for gluten. But, in pastry the last thing desired is the development of gluten. I remember all the recipes from before said do not over stir.
Katie said: on August 18, 2011
I liked your page!
Kelly Kehr said: on August 18, 2011
I already “like” your page and your GF all purpose flour mix is the only flour mix I use. Last week, I made the GF chex lemon buddies and it was sooo yummy. I can’t wait to make these lemon bars!
Cathy S. said: on August 18, 2011
Okay, since I don’t do the Facebook thing and since I’m new to the GF world (I’m loving your site by the way!), I’ll enter by saying my favorite lemon treat lately is fresh lemonade (I know, how boring!). Totally refreshing though! Thanks for the great recipe and the giveaway!
Corrine said: on August 18, 2011
I LOVE lemon bars and haven’t had them in years! I have been meaning to make lemon bars for some time and this lemon zester would make it much easier! Thanks for all you do for the GF community!
Corrine said: on August 18, 2011
Silly me, I had a spelling error in my e-mail on my previous post and didn’t catch it before I hit submit.
Corrine said: on August 18, 2011
I am computer challenged this evening. I don’t see my original post, but I wanted to make sure I thanked you for all you do for the GF community! Can’t wait to make lemon bars!
Jeanette said: on August 18, 2011
These were better than with wheat flour, I think I can remember! Everyone loved them.
Jules said: on August 19, 2011
Jeanette- fantastic! That’s what I like to hear! No compromise. None. At all.
Amy E. said: on August 18, 2011

ashley said: on August 19, 2011
hi!
My son is allergic to wheat/gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts/peanuts, sesame, & sunflower seeds.
Question: what egg replacer would you use on this recipe? I just discovered your flour and website and it has truly changed our lives! My son finally had a biscuit for the first time in his life at age 3.5. Next I’ll try to master your bread recipes as he has never even had a sandwich.
Jennica said: on August 19, 2011
I have been a fan on Facebook for quite awhile. I was looking for something different to make for my birthday treat (Monday, the 22nd, ironically), and these look awesome! My daughter and husband love lemon!

Christina said: on August 19, 2011
OMG I’d love to enter the drawing for the zester! I NEED this product!! I also have a bag of your flour so i’m going to try this lemon bar recipe. I have to go to a potluck tomorrow and it sounds perfect.
My favorite lemony recipe is savory…making paillards of chicken breast and finishing with lemon and capers. fav dessert is definitely lemon bars…although lately lemon curd and marscapone filled crepes is a close second! and italian ices. yum.

I liked you on FB. And I can’t wait to try out this recipe! Totally miss lemon bars, and definitely miss lemon meringue pie! Can’t seem to master the GF pie crust yet…everything either crumbles to smithereens or has a chemical aftertaste.
jaimie said: on August 19, 2011
I liked your page. One thing I love to use lemon on is baked tilapia. No need to rework it. Just zest & squeeze a bit of juice over the fish. Salt & pepper to taste, drizzle w/ olive oil, and bake @ 350 for about 20 minutes. Serve over brown rice for a light summertime meal!
Joan said: on August 19, 2011

Wow! Those look absolutely mouth-watering! “Liked” you on Facebook and just got a starter package of your products. Looking forward to trying some stuff out for my four year-old!
marie buckley said: on August 19, 2011
I liked you on Facebook, and would love to win a lemon grater to save my knuckles. My favorite old recipe is for a lemon pound cake. After baking, you make a lemon glaze. You poke lots of holes down into the loaf, then pour glaze in the holes and all over the loaf. Haven’t made it since I went GF, but may try it again. Marie
Michelle said: on August 19, 2011
Hi Jules,
I love almost anything lemony. Lemon curd is high on my list. Oooo, and lemon cookies! And, better yet, together. Yum! This looks like a clever little gadget. Would be interested in seeing it in action.
I already “like” you on Facebook and otherwise.
alison said: on August 19, 2011
Try pressing the crust into a tart pan and put the rest on top. Then cut pie slices topping with whipped cream. Viola! Lemon Tart. Pretty if you sprinkle a little toasted coconut on the whipped cream.
Kim @ Homesteader’s Heart said: on August 19, 2011
OH that zester is cool and I’ve always failed when it came to lemon bars. I can’t wait to try these. I just ordered more flour.
And you know what recipe I would LOVE for you to convert? A lemon pound cake. I tried and although it wasn’t “that” bad it wasn’t as great as the original either.
Have a great day! Oh and I also “like” you on FB!
Debbie said: on August 19, 2011

Tis the season for lemons! I made a double batch in the 9×13… they are great. now I am wondering what else that I can put on top of that crust

These bars are the best summertime treat (will put my other favourite – lemon loaf – aside for now). Would love to win one of those zesters. Thanks Jules for all your delicious recipes!
Melissa said: on August 19, 2011
I liked you on Facebook. I’m not a huge lemon person, but a good lemon bar is very yummy. My mouth is watering a bit looking at the picture.
Suzanne said: on August 19, 2011
I LOVE lemon bars and haven’t had one since I went gluten-free, haven’t even attempted it because I didn’t want to be disappointed. Can’t wait to try this recipe, though. I always have great success with your flour. One of my other favorite lemon recipes is “universal” in that it’s homemade lemonade. There’s just nothing like it!
Jaye Tee said: on August 19, 2011
Hi Jules! I liked you on FB and Lemon Bars are one of my absolute favorite treats in the whole wide world. I can’t wait to try yours, and hopefully I will be using that cool little zester when I do! I also really like lemon scones, but I have not had any since going gluten free. Would you happen to have a gluten and dairy free lemon scone recipe?
Jules said: on August 23, 2011
Jaye Tee – I have an amazingly versatile GF/DF scones recipe that would be amazing with some lemon zest & juice!! Here’s the SCONES recipe. Enjoy!

Kristen Booher said: on August 19, 2011
I am not a “facebooker”, but I would like to share the most favorite meal EVER in our family. It is the requested meal of choice for all birthdays and other special occasions.
It isn’t hard to make GF–Dairy free is the challenge!
LEMON CHICKEN
8 chicken breast halves, skinned & boned
)
1/4 C flour
1/4 C butter or margarine
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
*1 tsp grated lemon peel
*3 T lemon juice
*1/2 C whipping cream
1 C shredded Swiss Cheese
I QUADRUPLE the * items because we like lots of sauce!!!
Coat chicken breasts with flour. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts, brown; add salt, pepper, lemon peel and lemon juice; simmer 5 min. Preheat broiler. Remove chicken breasts from skillet; place in 9×13 baking pan. Gradually stir whipping cream into sauce in skillet. Pour cream mixture over breasts. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil about 4 inches from heat until bubbly.
Serve hot with sauce. Makes 4-8 servings.
Enjoy
) ~~and I echo the praises of all the others in thanking you for sharing your talent and bringing joy to cooking!!
Kristen
Jules said: on August 23, 2011
Kristin – thanks SO much for the recipe!!! As for Dairy-Free, the only real complication is the Swiss Cheese. Have you tried MimicCreme or SoyWhip for dairy-free whipping cream? Earth Balance for non-dairy butter and then the Swiss issue … it would be a different taste, but I wonder if a combo of shredded dairy-free Mozarella + dairy-free Parmesan Cheese/or/Nutritional Yeast would give you a flavor you like here? Something to try – let me know if you figure something out that you love!!!

Marie Carlisle said: on August 22, 2011
Hi
My baking seems to keep sinking in the middle I am using the flax substitute for egg 1 flax to 2 water, how can I make my baking better, Very frustrated but still trying.
Jules said: on August 22, 2011
Hi Marie, I responded to your question on Facebook last night, but in case you missed it, there’s probably an easy answer (yay!) so don’t get disouraged! Do you have my newest book, Free for All Cooking? There’s a huge spread in there all about making subs for eggs in gluten-free recipes. I think it would really help! With the flaxmeal sub there are a couple things: I use 1 Tbs. flaxmeal to 3 Tbs. very warm water and you must let it sit for a bit to let it become viscous, otherwise it’s no different than just adding flax and water to your recipe separately. Also, when things sink, it’s usually because there’s too much liquid or it’s not cooked long enough. To help you with your specific issues, please email Support@JulesGlutenFree.com so that we can walk you through your recipes and help you to get them just right! In the meantime, definitely look into Free for All Cooking!

Yay Mary! Congratulations on winning! Hope you put that zester to good use!
Christine said: on October 12, 2011
These sound wonderful! I just started gluten free and I’m adjusting!
Can I use rice flour in place of Gluten Free Flour? Its just what I have on hand currently.
Thanks and cannot wait to try some of your recipes!
Jules said: on October 13, 2011
Hi Christine, I don’t personally like using rice flour in my recipes, as it leaves a really gritty texture and can be crumbly. In this recipe, it might not be awful, but you should definitely treat yourself to some high quality gluten-free flour. You won’t be sorry with the results!
Cheryl Bischoff said: on April 24, 2012
I love Jules on my Facebook page, it keeps me up-to date when I don’t always remember to go to her website. Now, I’ve liked beaters and need the mixer to go with them one day. My zest is always to big, tying to avoid the knuckles.
Candy Steele said: on April 27, 2012
These look fabulous! I love good ole lemon meringue pie, with the meringue just a little overdone and sticky. And a lovely flaky crust. Already a facebook fan, too!
Kim said: on April 27, 2012
Love this recipe! I love to make citrusy types of foods. I always add fresh lime zest to my fruit salad and my kids love my Mediterranean Chicken and Pasta (gf) which has lemon zest in it to freshen up the flavor. I would love the ZestN’est!
Susan Gilliamsen said: on April 28, 2013
