- 2 cups almond flour
- ½ cup maple syrup
Filling:
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup maple syrup
- ⅔ cup lemon juice
- ¼ cup almond flour
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- Zest from 1 lemon
Garnish:
- powdered sugar sifted, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
- Make crust by combining almond flour and maple syrup in a medium bowl.
- Press dough firmly into prepared baking dish. Place crust in oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
- While crust is baking, whisk filling ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
- Once crust is done baking, remove from oven and slowly pour filling onto crust.
- Return baking dish to oven to cook for 20-25 minutes, until filling looks set and is no longer jiggly in the middle.
- Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then let cool in fridge until bars set up, about 4 hours over overnight.
- Sift powdered sugar onto bars if using, cut and serve.
