Calories: 149kcal
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 1 cup oats
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons arrowroot starch
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 3 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 egg
For the filling
- ¾ cup lemon juice
- Zest of 1 (or 2!) lemons
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup honey
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot powder
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment and set aside.
- Add the oats, almond flour, starch sugar into a food processor. Process until combined and the oats are a crumbly texture. Add the oil and egg and pulse together until a sticky dough forms.
- Pour the dough into the baking pan and press it flat using your hands. Poke a few holes in the dough with a fork to let the steam escape.
- Bake the crust for 8 - 10 minutes while you make the filling.
- Add all the filling ingredients into a blender. Blend on high until smooth.
- Once the crust has finished baking, pour the filling on top. Carefully transfer it back to the oven and bake for another 16- 18 minutes.
- Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, then transfer to the fridge and cool completely.
- Cut the bars into squares and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
