Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Coconut sugar
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil, melted
- 1 Egg
- 2 cups Fresh mango, diced
- 0.25 cup Honey
- 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Lime juice
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.
Add melted coconut oil and the egg to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.
Press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use your fingers or the back of a spoon to ensure it's packed tightly and evenly.
Bake the crust for 10-12 minutes, or until it's lightly golden. Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly while preparing the filling.
In a blender or food processor, add the fresh mango, honey, cornstarch, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Pour the mango filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.
Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes or until the edges are set and the center is slightly jiggly.
Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
