Yields: 20 lemon bars
Ingredients
Use Organic if possible
-
1 cup walnuts
-
1 cup macadamia nuts
-
1 cup coconut flakes
-
½ cup gluten-free oats
-
10 dates (pitted & soaked in water for 20 minutes)
-
1 scoop of Garden of Life Raw Organic Protein Vanilla
-
2 Tbsp lemon juice
-
1 Tbsp Garden of Life Coconut Oil
-
1 tsp grated ginger root
-
1 tsp grated lemon peel
Preparation
-
Place walnuts, macadamia nuts, coconut flakes and protein powder into a food processor, using the S blade. Process until well mixed and nuts are broken into very small pieces.
-
Add remaining ingredients and pulse until well mixed.
-
Press mixture into a brownie pan and refrigerate for a few hours so that texture hardens.
-
Top with Lemon Coconut Glaze. For the Lemon Coconut Glaze, in a blender, combine ¼ cup lemon juice, ¼ cup light coconut milk, 3 Tablespoons maple syrup and 2 Tablespoons of coconut oil. Blend until smooth and refrigerate for one hour, then stir a few times and spread about ½ of the glaze on top of the lemon squares. Place pan in refrigerator again for another hour before cutting and serving. (Save the rest of the glaze mixture for a fruit dip or an ice cream topping. Lemon squares last two weeks in refrigerator or two months frozen.)
