These bars are not only vegan, they are gluten-free (the crust is almond flour.) And the only added sugar comes from maple syrup, unless you decorate with powdered sugar as I did. Lemon zest and juice provide the flavor (I always zest with organic fruits, as pesticides will be most concentrated in the rind.) A pinch of turmeric boosts the coloring.
FYI, the recipe calls for 3 tablespoons of zest. That is roughly equal to one lemon.
The taste of these was wonderful, almost like eating a coconut lemon pie. I did find they were pretty soggy, and once I cut them and removed them from the pan after chilling overnight, some of them completely lost their structure. Perhaps a tweak is needed to the amount of arrowroot.
