Method

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 350°F.
In a mixing bowl, stir almond flour, coconut sugar, and salt until evenly crumbly.
Transfer crumbs into an 8×8-inch pan and press firmly into an even layer.
Bake for 15–18 minutes until edges are lightly golden brown.

For the Lemon Filling

In a clean bowl, whisk eggs, granulated sugar, gluten-free flour, and lemon zest until smooth.
Slowly pour in fresh lemon juice, folding gently to preserve airiness, then pour over the warm crust.
Bake for another 20 minutes until filling is set with a gentle wobble.
Let cool in the pan for 30 minutes, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
