Servings: 12 servings
Equipment
- 8x8 baking dish
Ingredients
Lemon Filling
- 1 cup full fat coconut milk, canned
- ¼ cup honey
- 3 eggs
- ½ cup lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
- zest from 1 lemon
- 2 tbsp arrowroot flour
Crust
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- ¼ cup + 2 tbsp Almond flour
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted
- ¼ cup honey
- 1 egg
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish.
- Add the crust ingredients to a food processor or blender and pulse until mixture is combined. Pour the crust mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.
- Bake the crust for about 10-12 minutes, until lightly golden around the edges.
- Meanwhile, add the filling ingredients to a medium bowl. Whisk or mix on low with a hand mixer until combined.
- Once the crust is baked, take it out of the oven and pour the filling over the crust. Lower the oven temperature to 325 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the center is set. The center should not move if you jiggle the pan.
- Let cool completely and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. For best results, let cool in the fridge overnight. Optional: sprinkle powdered sugar over the tops of the bars before serving.
