1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, coconut flour and salt until evenly dispersed. Mix in the maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla extract until a thick dough is formed.
3. Reserve ~1/2 cup of the dough and set aside. Press the remaining dough into the baking dish lined with parchment paper and evenly spread it. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
4. While the dough bakes, make the cherry filling mixture. Add the cherries, coconut sugar, lemon juice and arrowroot starch to a saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat to low and stir until a uniform mixture is formed.
5. Once the crust is removed from the oven and has time to cool, pour the cherry mixture on top and spread it evenly over the crust. Top off the cherry layer with crumbles of the crust dough that you set aside.
6. Return the dish to the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, then remove and let cool completely before carefully removing the parchment paper and slicing them into bars. Enjoy immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to five days.
