Easy No-Bake Lemon Bars, a non filling type version with no cashews.

modified from: https://www.vegkitchen.com/no-bake-vegan-lemon-bars/

8x8 pan, lined with plastic wrap so easier to pull out and cut into squares

Mix together

  • 2 c almond flour (maybe substitute 1 c ground nuts for part of almond flour)
  • 2 c shredded coconut (can pre-toast if desired. Also could grind into smaller pieces)
  • zest of 1 lemon* (about 2 T. Next time double for more lemon flavor)
Mix wet ingredients in another bowl
  • 1/3 c. maple syrup (I was about 1 T short, so added honey to make up difference.)
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • Juice of 1 lemon (about 2 T.)
Then add wet ingredients to dry ingredients. Stir well to combine and firmly pat flat into 8x8 pan. Refrigerate until firm, then cut. Stores well in freezer.

*The best way to get the most zest from a lemon is to peel with peeler, then slice into fine slices, then pieces with a knife. More zest equals more lemony flavor.

This is pretty tasty. Very light lemon flavor and easy to make.
