Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, arrowroot or tapioca flour, maple sugar, salt, baking soda, melted coconut oil or ghee, vanilla extract, and lemon zest. Mix until crumbly.
Press 2/3 of the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared pan to form the crust. Bake for 10 to 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 for 5 to 7 minutes while stirring, until the mixture thickens and looks jam-like.
Spread the strawberry filling over the baked crust, then crumble the remaining dough on top.
Return to the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes until the top is golden and the filling bubbles. Let cool completely in the pan, then chill for 1 to 2 hours before slicing into bars. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

Ensure you cook the strawberry filling until it is thick and jammy for the best results.
For a gluten-free version, confirm that all ingredients are gluten-free certified.
These bars taste even better after chilling, allowing the flavors to meld.
