1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease, then line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper. Don’t use a glass pan.
2. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, ground flax and salt.
3. Then, add in oil, maple syrup, vanilla and almond extract and mix with a spatula until a dough forms.
4. Evenly press dough into prepared pan with your hands or spatula. Bake for 15 minutes.
5. While your crust bakes, make the filling. In a medium bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, maple syrup, eggs and lemon zest. Add in sifted tapioca flour last. You want to whisk really well so that no egg white remain visible.
6. Once crust is done baking, immediately and carefully pour filling over crust and return to the oven to continue baking for an additional 18-22 minutes.
7. You know the bars are ready when the filling has set and there is no jiggle. Allow to cool for 30-45 minutes before adding to the fridge to continue cooling for a minimum of 4 hours
8. Once ready to serve, use a sharp knife to cut into 12 bars. Finish them off with sifted powered sugar and fresh raspberries.
