Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup butter (melted)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 lemon, zest of
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice (3 large lemons (I used Meyer lemons))
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch
  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line square 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, add almond flour, 1 tbsp cornstarch, melted butter, maple syrup and vanilla extract. Stir with spatula until well mixed, transfer to prepared baking dish and flatten with hands and spatula into an even layer. Bake for 15 minutes.
  • In the meanwhile, in a large bowl, add eggs, lemon zest, lemon juice, maple syrup and cornstarch. Whisk very well until no white strands.
  • Remove crust from the oven and very carefully pour filling on a side on top (abrupt pouring will lift the crust). Place back in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until firm but still a bit jiggly in the middle.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool on the counter for 30 minutes. Then transfer to the fridge to firm up for another hour.
  • Cut into 9 squares, dust with icing sugar (if you wish) and serve chilled.
