Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Filling
  • 3 eggs + 1 egg yolk
  • 3/4 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice about 4 large lemons
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 tsp lemon zest
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour sifted

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix together all of your crust ingredients until well combined.
  3. Press into the bottom of the 8x8 baking dish and bake for 15 minutes.
  4. While crust is baking, whisk together all filling ingredients, adding sifted coconut flour last. Whisk until all clumps are gone.
  5. Once crust comes out of the oven, pour filling immediately on top.
  6. Lower oven temp to 325F and bake for 20-22 minutes or until filling is set. A little jiggle is ok!
  7. Let cool at room temperature for 30 minutes then transfer to fridge for at least 3 hours.
  8. Add powdered sugar (not paleo, but delicious) and cut and serve!
  9. *Notes for storing in post.
