Creating these delectable bars is easier than you might think. Follow these steps for a perfect outcome:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that it’s at the right temperature when your bars are ready to bake.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a high-speed blender, combine the soaked cashews, coconut milk, 1/4 cup maple syrup, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract. Blend these ingredients until you achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This mixture will form the luscious filling of your cheesecake bars.
3. Make the Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, almond flour, melted coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup. Mix until the ingredients are well combined. Press this mixture firmly into the bottom of a lined baking dish to form the crust.
4. Assemble the Bars: Pour the creamy cashew mixture over the prepared crust. Use a spatula to spread it evenly, ensuring that it covers the crust completely.
5. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set.
6. Cool and Chill: Remove the bars from the oven and allow them to cool at room temperature. Once cooled, transfer them to the refrigerator and chill for at least 2 hours. This helps the bars firm up and makes them easier to cut.
7. Serve: Once chilled, cut the cheesecake into bars and serve. Enjoy your creamy, tangy treat!
