GLAZED LEMON RASPBERRY BARS
Tart but sweet, moist lemon
bars with a hint of raspberry – pretty bars!
This delectable treat is sure to please. Lovely with a cup of tea and over conversation with a good friend.

Lemon and raspberry? What a great combination of flavors...the bars look delicious.
Hope you have a wonderful week ahead Jennifer :-)
Thanks, Juliana. Boy, I really like your name - so pretty!
Wow I was thinking the EXACT same thing that Juliana wrote - Lemon ADN raspberry? Awesome! That looks delicious! Thanks for sharing....
Jennifer, you are amazing. I am sure these taste wonderful. They will be on my to-try list. You are so creative as are many others posting low carb treats, but your presentation is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing!
Very tasty combo for sure, Ann.
Wow, thank you, Nancy. That's a nice thing to say.
What fun jazzed up lemon bars!
Yep and gluten-free and sugar-free and low-carb to boot! ;) Have a great rest of the week, Tiffany.
Looks wonderful! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome, Christine.
A little off topic, but do you have suggestions for converting almond flour recipes to using your bake mix?
Made some more bread this morning. We used your bread for sandwiches while traveling last week. Was so helpful to have something to eat that was safe & better than you could get anywhere else!
I think I would use the bake mix cup for cup. You could reduce it by a couple of tablespoons, if you wish, but using it cup for cup and adjusting the liquid requirements will make for a lovely, substantial baked goodie outcome. I think using a bake mix vs just almond flour on its own is almost always superior.
That's really nice, Philis. I know what you mean. Ian feels the same way as do I. So good to have on hand. I have to make more hamburger buns tomorrow or the next day. I will share them soon - Artisan Sesame Hamburger Buns. Very nice! Great for burgers, etc.
