- 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients:
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 tablespoon poppy seeds

Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, eggs, lemon juice, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Add dry ingredients: Add the coconut flour, poppy seeds, baking powder, and salt, and stir until fully combined. Let the batter sit for 2–3 minutes to allow the coconut flour to absorb moisture.

- Cool and slice: Let cool completely in the pan before slicing into bars.
