How to Make Healthiest Lemon Squares
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Finely chop 1 cup of almonds.
- 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.
- Press the crumb mixture into an 8x8 inch baking pan coated with cooking spray.
- Bake for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden.
- 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).
- Pour the lemon topping evenly over the baked crust.
- Bake for an additional 20 minutes, or until the topping is set and lightly golden.
- Let the lemon squares cool completely in the pan before refrigerating for at least 30 minutes.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
