Lemon bars were one of my favorite desserts growing up. I remember making them in the summer with my mom and fighting my brothers for the last bite! Light, refreshing and delicious! sometimes lemon or fruity desserts are a nice to incorporate into your diet for different flavors and variety!
I used an old recipe and made it NEW! Gluten free flour (but you can totally use regular!). I swapped out the sugar and used maple syrup as a sweetener (besides the powdered sugar of course.) and I added more lemon than before, which was a great idea in my opinion!!!! See how easy this recipe is below. Perfect to make with kids or family and enjoy all summer long!

INGREDIENTS:
crust:
1/2 cup butter (room temperature)
1 cup gluten free 1:1 flour (or regular)
1/4 cup powdered sugar
filling:
1/2 cup lemon juice (3-4 lemons)
Zest of two lemons
3 eggs
1 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup gluten free 1:1 flour
Extra powdered sugar for topping
1 cup maple syrup
DIRECTIONS:
Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
With an electric or hand mixer, combine all crust ingredients. (Its important that butter is closer to room temperature here for better dough turn out).
Beat until combined and a dough forms.
Add dough to freezer for 10 minutes to let set.
The press the dough into the 8x8 pan and cook for 15-20 minutes or until crust is light golden brown.
Add the lemon juice, lemon zest, eggs, maple syrup and flour to a medium bowl and mix until well combined. Mix will be watery, thats ok!
Pour over top of slightly cooled crust.
(The filling may run over the edges and thats ok!)
Once filling is poured over the crust, return the pan to the oven and cook for 25 minutes.
Let cook and sprinkle your desired amount of powdered sugar over the top.
Optional to top with lemons and more zest
Let cool before serving for best turn out.
Store in fridge for a min of 1 hour to cool.
ENJOY!

I hope you enjoy this delicious recipe and it sweetens up your day! Don't forget to check out all of my dessert recipes on my blog under "dessert recipes".
That's all great, but what's really interesting is its link size. A 14 ligne movement (translation: approximately link 31.5mm in diameter), the caliber 9906 has a height of just 6.4mm, which makes it thinner than the Omega caliber 3861 (6.7mm), the Sellita link SW 510 M (7mm), the Breitling B09 (6.73mm), and a number of other mainstream manual-wind chronograph movements.
But did I do something wrong? I don't think so. Today, I realize I can be grateful for the nearly 3,000 days I link was able to wear my 5711. I still cherish link all the memories I made with it link and the friendships that developed around the world because of it. I'm grateful that although this is the worst thing that has ever happened to me, in the grand scheme of it all, there are much worse things for people to go through.
Today, we'll only have had a few brief moments to take a look at the newest generation link of Apple Watch in the metal. Stay tuned for a more in-depth hands-on and link more thoughts about 10 years of the Apple link Watch soon.
