๐ Clean Lemon Bars That Donโt Come With a Side of Bloat
This dessert is sweet, tart, and secretly gut-friendly. A perfect Mother's Day Treat!
If youโve ever grabbed a lemon bar at a bakery thinking โthis canโt be that bad,โ only to read the label and see words like sodium benzoate, invert sugar, and natural flavors, then this recipe is your clean comeback.
These Clean Lemon Bars are bright, sweet, slightly tart, and made with real ingredients you can pronounce. No gluten. No refined sugar. No fillers. Just a creamy lemon filling on a golden coconut crustโand yes, theyโre every bit as satisfying as the real thing (without the crash or the bloat).
You donโt need artificial flavors or cane sugar to enjoy a classic lemon bar.
In factโyour body (and your taste buds) will thank you for skipping them.
These Clean Lemon Bars use raw honey instead of refined sugar and tapioca flour instead of cornstarch. Thatโs not just a swapโitโs a serious upgrade.

๐ฅ Why These Ingredients Matter
Raw Honey vs. Cane Sugar:
Raw honey contains enzymes, antioxidants, and trace minerals that support immunity and digestion. Unlike cane sugar (which spikes your blood sugar and feeds bad gut bacteria), raw honey is lower on the glycemic index and may actually soothe inflammation when used in moderation.
Tapioca Flour vs. Cornstarch:
Tapioca is a grain-free, gentle starch made from the cassava root. Itโs easier to digest and free of the GMOs and harsh processing often found in conventional cornstarch. It also gives these bars a silky, custardy textureโwithout the stomach upset.
