Recipe - Nutty lemon bars
Today, I'd like to share a seriously delicious taste bomb with you!
This is such a tasty recipe and if you own a food processor, it's super easy too! I just made it for the first time today and am already hooked. All props go to this Dutch foodie site, where I found this amazing recipe. I've decided to translate it so non-Dutchies can enjoy it too!
This little bar is a great taste bomb. You'll enjoy the lemon juice in it, but there's also the sweetness of dates, not to mention the yummy walnuts! I cut it into bite-size squares, so it's easy to enjoy.
Besides the awesome taste, there's also the fact that this little treat contains many healty ingredients. Or should I say 'healthier'? Because ofcourse this isn't something to eat while you're cutting down on calories.
Now while scrolling through the comments, I found that they should stay well in the fridge for 3-4 days. However, I don't think they'll last that long in this house.
Right, time for the recipe!
Ingredients
- 275g Dates
- 75g Oatmeal
- 50g Walnuts
- 9 Tbsp coconut oil
- Juice of half a lemon
- 1 Tsp lemon zest
- 2 Tbps honey
- 1 1/2 Tsp turmeric
Directions
- Add the walnuts and dates to your food processor and pulse until they are cut up in little pieces.
- Add the oatmeal and mix until well combined. If the mix isn't sticky enough, add a little bit of water.
- Line an oven dish with parchment paper and fill it with your mixture. Press tightly, so it forms a good, solid (though sticky) bottom.
- Liquify your coconut oil. Either by using the microwave, or by setting its container in a bowl of warm water.
- Mix in the lemon juice, zest, honey and turmeric until well combined.
- Pour this mixture over your bottom in the oven dish.
- Set your dish in the fridge for about an hour to let it harden.
- Cut it up in little squares for bite-size little taste bombs.
Enjoy!

Mouthwatering! Thanks, for sharing the recipe. :)
Not a problem! I figured this one was something not only Dutchies should enjoy :-)
And you figured it correctly. :)
Damn I'm drooling now.. I love the coconut oil add, it's a very good ingredient to me both for sweet and salad stuff (I use it a lot with chicken and curry). Thank you for making me hungry again after dinner :-P
Haha you are quite welcome! :D
Yeah, I use coconut oil for all sorts of things aswell. Cooking, baking, even as moisturizing on dry skin/lips sometimes!
I donnow why we love coconut so much ..maybe becouse we are nut? :-P
This is very good looking, especially because of the nuts that I like so much.
Ooh you should definitely try it sometime :D
I'm not a fan of sweets but lemon is one of my favorite tastes, can't decide just by looking, gotta make them at some time and see if I like them or not.
Aye, try it sometime :D
Thanks for the inspiration, will try!
