Banana Lemon Coconut Bars

I got this from a blog called This Rawsome Vegan Life

  They are tasty and could even be eaten for breakfast (not saying that I did or did not do this, just that one *could*.

3/4 cup rolled oats
15 fresh dates, pitted
3/4 coconut shreds (I got these at Whole Foods, organic, unsweetened.  They look like powder sugar)
2 TB water

Process the oats first in your food processor. Add the dates and coconut and turn on, then slowly add the water until it starts to clump together.  Transfer to square baking dish and press down evenly along the bottom. I use a glass bowl to press it down firmly and flat.

1/3 cup melted (liquid) coconut oil
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/2 cup fresh lemon juice
1 ripe banana
1/2 cup coconut shreds
1/2 tsp guar gum

Blend together in the blender.  Pour over crust.  Place in refrigerator overnight before serving. Can sprinkle with coconut shreds before serving.
