Preheat the oven to 350ºF and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or spray with cooking spray.
Make crust by combining almond flour and maple syrup in a medium bowl.
Press dough firmly into prepared baking dish. Place crust in oven and bake for about 20 minutes, until lightly golden.
While crust is baking, whisk filling ingredients together in a large mixing bowl.
Once crust is done baking, remove from oven and slowly pour filling onto crust.
Return baking dish to oven to cook for 20-25 minutes, until filling looks set and is no longer jiggly in the middle.
Remove from oven and let cool completely at room temperature. Then let cool in fridge until bars set up, about 4 hours over overnight.
Sift powdered sugar onto bars if using, cut and serve.
