Tangy and Sweet Kumquat Bars

About This Recipe:

Get ready to celebrate the seasonal citrus bounty with these delicious Kumquat Bars! These bars are a perfect treat to enjoy during the late winter and spring months when kumquats are at their peak.

To start, the crust is made with almond flour and chopped nuts, which add a nutty flavor that pairs perfectly with the tartness of the kumquat filling. The crust is baked until golden brown, giving it a toasty, crunchy texture that complements the smooth filling.

For the filling, fresh kumquat puree is combined with gluten-free flour, sugar, eggs, and a pinch of salt. The filling is poured over the crust and baked until set, resulting in a bright, tangy filling with a custard-like texture.

To top it off, sliced kumquats are arranged on top of the bars, adding a pop of vibrant color and an extra burst of citrusy flavor.

Enjoy these Kumquat Bars as a sweet and refreshing dessert that highlights the best of the season!
