Gluten Free Luscious Lemon Bars

Calling all lemon lovers!  I am so excited to share with you, our family’s recipe for gluten-free Luscious Lemon Bars.   These fly off the plate at my home and they will at yours too.  I enjoy the uplifting lemon flavor in these treasures and they go wonderfully with a cup of tea.   Mostly, I serve them as dessert.

There is a secret ingredient in this recipe that makes it especially delicious!  It is lemon essential oil!

Lemon essential oil has multiple benefits and uses. When added to water, Lemon provides a refreshing and healthy boost throughout the day. Lemon is frequently added to food to enhance the flavor of desserts and main dishes. Taken internally, Lemon provides cleansing and digestive benefits and supports healthy respiratory function.  When diffused, Lemon has an uplifting aroma.
