Honey-sweetened Orange Curd Bars (grain-free & dairy-free)

March 2, 2013 By Marillyn Beard · | · 14 Comments · | · Affiliate Disclosure

 

We are finishing up a great week with a mission team from one of our supporting churches. I am always exhausted when the teams leave, but feel spiritual full from being able to fellowship with other believers & friends!
 
The last few weeks have been emotionally draining for me. A lot has been happening and God is opening new doors and closing old doors, but…
 
it’s all good.
 
Basically, we are heading for a new adventure soon. I’m sure you will know soon enough (or you can go to our ministry blog and subscribe to stay updated) Please keep us in your prayers, thanks!
 
Now, these bars…
 
I really don’t need to say much about these bars. I think the pictures speak for themselves. A thousand words, right?
 
These guys are so good and totally guilt-free. We even enjoyed it for breakfast one morning!
 
 
I didn’t think of this until after I took the pictures, but I think some homemade chocolate syrup would be the “cherry on top” for these delicious curd bars!!
 

Honey-sweetened Orange Curd Bars
(Gluten-free & Dairy-free)
 
1 3/4 cup almond flour
1/4 cup coconut flour
3/4 tsp sea salt
1/2 cup butter (or coconut oil for a diary-free option)
1/4 – 1/3 cup honey
1 – 2 Tbsp orange zest
2 tsp vanilla
1 egg
1 recipe of orange curd
Make the orange curd (if you haven’t) and let it cool in the fridge.
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease an 8 x 8 square or circle pan. Set aside.
Mix together dry ingredients in a large bowl.
Mix together wet ingredients and pour over the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Evenly spread the batter into the greased pan. Place in the middle of the oven and let it bake 15-20 minutes or until the top and edges are lightly brown. It may puff up a little, but no worries.
When done, test the middle with a toothpick or knife. It should come out clean. Set it aside and allow it to cool completely.
When cooled, spread the orange curd evenly on top and let it firm up in the fridge, if needed. We think it tastes better cold than room-temperature!
Before serving, sprinkle some orange zest and coconut flakes on top.

Also, don’t forget the chocolate syrup… I know it will be amazing!

      Thanks Diana! Yeah, they are so good. This is the first time I’ve baked with almond flour, not bad! A friend gifted me a large bag of it… figure I had to start using it! 🙂

    I used lime juice and made key lime bars…. A-MAZING!!! Love it, thanks so much for sharing 😀 The curd is so easy and versatile, too.

      Laurie- sounds amazing! I’ve thought about doing that myself. Just waiting for my limes to ripen up a bit more. Will have to try! So glad you enjoyed the recipe 🙂

      Yes, curd is SO versatile. Can’t wait to try different fruits… be on the lookout for more recipes, hopefully!

    This looks great thanks. Does the butter go with the dry ingredients, or melted in the wet ingredients. Many thanks

    Thanks so much for this recipe – it looks so so good! Almond flour surprised me by making some really yummy treats! I wish it didn’t cost quite so much but have found wheat is causing damage to me so I’m trying to keep on with it. I looked at your ministry page – awesome! I so wish I could get my kids involved in something like that. I am going to go back and read more about it. God bless you through your new doors!

      You are welcome, Jan! I understand about almond flour being yummy and somewhat expensive. A friend gave me a bag full and I was so excited to try it with coconut flour (helps keep the cost down a bit).

      I’m so glad you checked out our ministry. Enjoy and let us know if you have any questions! Thank you!

    I need some help! lol I think I may have done something wrong with the orange curd, left it in the fridge covered for about 4 hrs, but it was very “pourable” should it have been thicker? or will it thicken up in the fridge overnight?
    Hate to think Ive messed it up, it smells gorgeous!

      Ruth – let it set overnight and see if it thickens up. If not, possibly it needed to be cooked a little longer. Even if it doesn’t thicken up… don’t toss it out! You can still use it! Drizzle over ice cream or pastry or bread or whatever. It will still taste great. Try it again… don’t be afraid to cook it a little longer as long as you are there keeping an eye on it :o) Enjoy!!
