Ingredients
Ingredients needed for the crust:
- 1 ¼ cup almonds
- ¾ cup rolled oats
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 3 tbsp coconut oil
- pinch salt
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar optional
Ingredients needed for the filling:
- 2 lemons juiced
- 1 cup coconut cream
- 1¼ cup whole cashews
- 1 ½ tbsp cornstarch
- ½ lemon zested
- ¼ tsp salt
- 5 tbsp maple syrup
- 2-3 tbsp protein powder optional
Instructions
- Start by boiling a pot of water and then pour it over the cashews. Let them sit to presoak for at least 1-2 hours. Alternatively, you can soak the cashews overnight for a fluffier texture.
- Next, preheat the oven to 350º F and grease a square baking dish. Set aside.
- Grind all the almonds in a food processor. Then, add the rolled oats and grind them into fine crumbs.
- Next, add the salt, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Mix well.
- Press the crust mixture into the bottom of your glass pan into an even layer. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes.
- Rinse the pre-soaked cashews and add to the food processor along with the remaining filling ingredients. Save some zest for garnishing.
- Mix well.
- Add the filling on top of the crust into an even layer.
- And bake for 20 minutes.
- Top with the saved lemon zest, cut into squares, and enjoy!
