Some Savory
Line the pan with parchment hanging a bit over the sides so that you can lift the baked bars out without overturning. These bars can be made ahead and refrigerated for upto 5 days. They might work well frozen too. If you dont have coconut flour, just use more almond flour and add a tbsp of flour(rice or wheat).
For a nut-free option, try these fudgy Sweet Potato Pie Bars. Use pumpkin and a flour only pie crust. Almond flour makes a good portion of this recipe, so subbing that out would need a lot of tweaking for anywhere close to similar result.
