Is this a Vegan GF lemon bar? Or some kind of crazy dream... |
Crust:
1 cup oat flour
1/2 cup Gluten-free flour blend (see substitutions tab)
5 tbsp coconut butter (solid coconut oil)
1/4 cup sucunat
2 tbsp water
pinch of salt
Filling:
1 cup fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp lemon zest
1/2 cup arrowroot flour
1/2 cup maple syrup (I used 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup maple)
1 400ml can light coconut milk or full fat for a richer bar
First make the oat flour and mix with GF flour, salt and sugar. Add coconut butter in chunks and mix with your hands. Add water and keep mixing until everything is well combined. In a greased baking dish add the oat mix and press with your hands to form the crust. Using a fork pierce the surface of the crust and bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes at 350F. Remove from the oven and let it cool. Meanwhile make the lemon filling. In a pot combine syrup, coconut milk and arrowroot. Whisk until the arrowroot is completely dissolved. Add lemon zest. Bring to boil whisking continuously and once it starts to thicken removed from heat. Add lemon juice and continue stirring for 3 minutes. Let the mixture cool completely and pour over the crust. Chill until set.
