- ½ cup maple syrup
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil

- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅛ tsp salt
Instructions
- Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some paper to hang over the edges for easy removal.
- In a bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs and melted vegan butter. Mix well, then press the mixture firmly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.

For a more intense lime flavor, consider adding more lime zest.
These bars can be stored in the freezer for a longer shelf life. Just let them thaw slightly before serving.
