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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, coconut sugar, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Step 3

Add melted coconut oil and the egg to the dry ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

In a blender or food processor, add the fresh mango, honey, cornstarch, lime juice, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy.

Step 7

Pour the mango filling over the pre-baked crust, spreading it evenly with a spatula.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

Cut into squares and serve chilled. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
