Add oats, flax seeds, and salt to the Work Bowl and process on HIGH with the Chopping Blade until it reaches a flour-like consistency.

Add the dates, vanilla, and coconut oil. Process on HIGH with the Chopping Blade until smooth.

Add the almond milk and process it again. Once it reaches a crumbly consistency, it’s ready to transfer to an 8x8 lined baking pan.

Press down evenly.

Make the lemon filling. Add the remaining ingredients to the Work Bowl and process on HIGH for 1 minute until you have a creamy, custard-like consistency.

Warning icon indicating caution

NEVER use the nutribullet Cup to blend hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients.
DO NOT blend for more than one minute when using the nutribullet Cup.

Blending hot, warm, or carbonated ingredients in a nutribullet Cup may result in over-pressurization, causing the Cup to forcefully separate when removed from the Motor Base or upon opening, which may expel hot contents and/or exposure to the blades, both of which may cause serious bodily injuries.
