My family and I may or may not have eaten a few before taking any pictures... I did change a few things in the recipe which I posted below (the modified version) and they turned out quite well! Delicious and raw :)
Lemon Coconut Squares (inspired by This Rawsome Vegan Life)
Crust
3/4 cup oats
1 cup dates
3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
Lemon Filling
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (I used organic)
1/4 cup maple syrup
Juice and rind from 1 lemon (watch for seeeeeeeds!)
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1 banana
Blend the coconut and oats in your food processor to make a rough flour before adding the dates. It should begin to stick together once the dates have been processed. Press into the bottom of a square baking pan, making sure to add a little up the edges, and put in the fridge.
Place all of the filling ingredients into your food processor and blend until a creamy texture is formed. It will seem kind of runny, but don't worry - the coconut oil will help to set it. Spread/pour evenly over the pressed crust. The recipe called to let it sit overnight in the fridge, however I would suggest using the freezer (even for half the day) for a harder square. Either way (even off a spatula), these are to die for!! Vegan, lemony, coconuty, square goodness :)
