Easy Lemon Bites (Kaufmann Diet Friendly)

If you are following the Kaufmann diet and are looking for some Kaufmann 1 dessert ideas like these lemon bites I have you covered.  I started the Kaufmann diet over a decade ago after the devastating effects black mold had on my health.  Below, I will also share a television interview on Know the Cause with Doug Kaufmann explaining why I follow his diet.

As a general rule, all you need to make any sugar and gluten free dessert including these lemon bites, is to have a great gluten free flour alternative on hand, as well as a sugar free healthy sweetener.

How To Make Gluten and Sugar Free Lemon Bites

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Mix all ingredients for CRUST and mix well until you form a dough.
• Place dough in a round or circular oven safe dish. (No need to grease the dish due to the butter)
• Pat down until the dish is covered with the crust. Bake crust for 10 minutes.
• In a medium size bowl zest one lemon and add the juice of all 3 lemons, then add remaining lemon filling ingredients mentioned above.
• Once crust has baked for 10 minutes pour lemon filling on top of crust and bake for 20 minutes. Filling will stiffen once cooled.
• Cool in refrigerator for a least one hour before cutting into circles with a cookie cutter or you can simply cut into squares.
• Top with sugar free powdered sugar if desired.  Powdered Monk Fruit is a great choice.
• This recipe is Kaufmann Diet 1 (phase 1) friendly as well as keto friendly
