Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 8 x 8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
Add rolled oats to a food processor and pulse until oats are ground up.
In a large mixing bowl add almond flour, blended oats, coconut oil, maple syrup, and a pinch of salt. Mix with a rubber spatula until combined.
Add the oat mixture to your baking dish and spread evenly with a rubber spatula. Bake for 20 minutes and allow to cool for 5 minutes. While the crust is baking prepare the filling.
Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment beat cream cheese until smooth. Add sweetened condensed milk and beat until combined.
Add egg yolks into the cream cheese mixture one at a time. Making sure each egg yolk is fully incorporated before adding the next.
Add passionfruit pulp, lemon zest, and lemon juice and mix. Pour mixture over the cooled crust. Bake for 30 minutes. While cooling prepare lemon curd filling.
Lemon Curd Filling
To a medium saucepan add egg yolks, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and vanilla extract. Stir constantly to prevent eggs from cooking until it thickens.
Remove from heat and add butter until fully combined. Strain and pour over passionfruit bar filling. Cool for 1 hour (or overnight).
When ready to serve, dust with powdered sugar and enjoy!
