Easy Peasy Lemon Bars

I'm rather pleased with this one -- I ate something like this, liked it, and adapted it and here it is!!!!


1 cup whole wheat flour

2 ½ cups quick oats

1 cup sucanat

½ tsp. Baking soda

1/4 tsp. Salt

1 cup coconut

1 cup of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts)

Mix well.


Add:

2/3 c. oil

1 tsp. Vanilla


Mix again. Press 2/3 of this into a 9x13 pan that’s been prepared. (Don’t eat the rest – save it for the next step!) Bake for 10 min.

Meanwhile, in a small bowl place

1 can coconut milk

1/4 c. lemon juice

1/4 c. honey or maple syrup

1 T. Cornstarch

1 tsp. Lemon flavor

a few drops of yellow food coloring

Whisk together well –make sure cornstarch gets mixed in.

After crust is baked, pour this mixture over the top. Crumble on the rest of the oatmeal mixture on the top. Bake for 25 min.
