Start to Finish: 40 minutes

Ingredients:

• 1.5 cups blanched almond meal
• ½ cup softened butter or ghee
• Pinch of salt
• 1-2 Tbsp xylitol or erythritol
• 1 cup blanched almond meal
• 1/4 - 1/3 cup xylitol or erythritol
• 1 cup lemon juice
• Zest of 3-4 lemons
• 4 eggs

Note on ingredients: Except for coconut, all nuts are considered “suspect” on the Bulletproof Diet because of their high levels of omega-6 fats that can oxidize and contribute to inflammation. Nuts are also susceptible to mold and contain lectins, nutrient-sapping compounds that can be tough on your gut. Use nuts in moderation, or remove them from your diet and reintroduce in small amounts to test your sensitivity.

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 350F. Combine the first 4 ingredients together to make the base. Oil your hands with coconut oil and gently press the mixture evenly into a 9x9 parchment paper-lined baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until it’s a light golden. brown color.
2. When it’s cooked, remove from the oven and allow to completely cool down.
3. In a large bowl mix the remaining ingredients together for the filling until lump free and fully incorporated.
4. Pour the filling onto the pre-baked, cooled crust & bake for 25 minutes.
5. Remove from the oven and cool down.
6. Cut the slice into 20 squares and enjoy.
