Makes about 16 bar cookies

Preheat the oven to 350F.  Spray an 8"x8"x2" baking pan with olive oil spray and set it aside.

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, beat 1/3 cup softened butter until it is light.  Add 1/3 cup coconut sugar and beat it until it is combined.

Add all at once and mix until the dough cleans the bowl:

3/4 cup almond flour
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds
2 tablespoons coconut flour

Press the dough into the prepared pan and bake it for about 15 minute, until the crust is becoming golden.  Allow the bars to cool for about 20 minutes before proceeding to the next step.

In a mixing bowl with an electric mixer, cream together:

1 - 8 ounce package cream cheese
1/4 cup Stevia in the Raw, measurable
2 tablespoons coconut sugar

Add, and continue mixing until the mixture is smooth:

2 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons plain yogurt
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon Real Sea Salt

Spread the cream cheese mixture over the cooled crust.  Bake the bars at 350F for about 25 to 30 minutes.  Allow them to rest in the oven with the heat turned off for 20 minutes before removing them from the oven.  Cool them completely before slicing into bars and serving.

Enjoy!
