Steps of Vegan Lemon Bars Recipe

#	Steps
1.	Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
2.	To make the crust, mix together almond flour, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and salt until a dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
3.	Bake the crust for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
4.	In a blender or food processor, combine soaked cashews, lemon juice, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, lemon zest, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth and creamy.
5.	Pour the lemon filling over the cooled crust and smooth the surface with a spatula.
6.	Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the filling is set and slightly golden around the edges.
7.	Let the lemon bars cool to room temperature before slicing into 9-12 bars. Chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving.

Tips:

For a nut-free version, you can replace almond flour with oat flour or gluten-free all-purpose flour.
Soaking cashews overnight helps to soften them and make them easier to blend into a smooth filling.
Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor.
These lemon bars can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 1 month.

Enjoy your delicious vegan lemon bars!
