The Uprooted Kitchen leans on fresh, organic lemons, coconut oil and sugar as well as oat and buckwheat flours for its lemon bar recipe. This reflects the restaurant’s focus on healthy, plant-based food.
Its take on the classic lemon bar maintains that familiar blend of sweet and tart, but omits most of the trans fats and refined sugars upon which other variations rely.
Lemon Bars
Crust:
1 cup organic coconut oil
1 cup organic coconut sugar
3 cups organic oat flour
1 cup organic buckwheat flour
Lemon filling:
1 1/2 cups organic lemon juice
2 cups organic coconut sugar
2 1/2 cups organic coconut milk
3/4 cup arrowroot powder
2 Tbsp turmeric
Preheat oven to 350° F.
In a large bowl, mix together all ingredients for crust until incorporated. Press crust into bottom of parchment-lined 8-inch baking pan. Bake for 10 minutes.
While crust is baking, whisk together filling ingredients in a medium sauce pan. Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly. Turn off heat as soon as mixture starts to boil. Pour filling into crust, then bake for 20 minutes.
Remove the baking pan and let chill. Once cool, cut and top with organic powdered sugar.
