Paleo Lemon Bars

Crust:

  • 4 cups almond flour
  • 1/2 cup tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coconut oil, melted
  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees and grease a 9×13 pan with coconut oil.
  2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl, then press into the greased 9×13 pan.
  3. Bake in oven for about 30 minutes, until golden brown.

While that’s cooking, prepare lemon topping:

Lemon Topping:

  • 4 eggs
  • 3/4 cup pure maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice
  • 1 TBSP lemon zest
  • 5 TBSP tapioca flour or arrowroot starch
  1. Beat together all ingredients.
  2. Let crust cool for about 15 minutes, and when crust is ready, pour lemon topping over crust (note: it will be liquid–it’s ok!), then bake another 20 minutes or so, until set.
  3. For best results, chill before eating.
