- 6 tablespoons refined coconut oil melted or ghee

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line an 8×8 pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
- In a large bowl, mix almond flour, arrowroot or tapioca, maple sugar, salt, baking soda, melted coconut oil or ghee, vanilla, and lemon zest until dough is crumbly.
- Press 2/3 of the dough into the bottom of the baking dish to form the crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden.
