How to Make Healthiest Lemon Squares

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Finely chop 1 cup of almonds.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 ½ cups almond flour, ½ cup whole wheat flour, ½ cup granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon salt. Cut in ½ cup (1 stick) cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  3. Press the crumb mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
  4. Bake for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  5. Meanwhile, prepare the lemon topping: In a separate bowl, beat together 1 cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup lemon juice, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons almond flour until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  6. Pour the lemon topping evenly over the baked crust.
  7. Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
  8. Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
