Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy removal.
In a large bowl, mix together almond flour, arrowroot or tapioca flour, maple sugar, salt, baking soda, melted coconut oil or ghee, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until a crumbly dough forms. Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the lined baking dish to create a crust. Bake for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden.
In a medium saucepan, combine chopped strawberries, maple sugar, lemon juice, and arrowroot or tapioca flour. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently for 5–7 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and glossy, resembling jam.
Spread the strawberry filling over the pre-baked crust and crumble the remaining dough on top.
Return to the oven and bake for 25-28 minutes until the top is golden and the filling is bubbling. Allow to cool completely in the pan to room temperature, then chill for 1-2 hours before slicing into bars. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Ensure the strawberry filling is thickened well to achieve the perfect bar texture.
Chilling the bars before slicing improves their structure and makes for cleaner cuts.
These bars store well in the refrigerator, making them a great make-ahead dessert.
