Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 F.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, coconut oil, maple syrup and salt. Mix well until a wet, but firm consistence (like shortbread) is formed.

Step 3

Line an 8x8 ceramic pan with parchment paper.

Step 4

Press dough into lined pan, making sure to press it out evenly and into the corners.

Step 5

Bake for 20 minutes or until fragrant, lightly browned and set through. Let cool.

Step 6

While crust is baking, combine eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt and coconut flour. Beat with a hand mixer until a smooth, liquid batter is formed. It will be runny, but don't worry, this is they way it's supposed to be.

Step 7

Pour mixture on top of the cooled crust and bake for 30 minutes. Cool completely then chill for 4 hours.

Step 8

Remove bars from pan, cut into 16 squares and top with a shake of powdered sugar. Serve and enjoy!
