Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and sea salt.
Add in the melted coconut oil, honey, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
Press the dough evenly into the prepared baking dish to form the base layer.
Bake for 15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let it cool completely.
To make the filling, combine coconut milk, arrowroot powder, and maple syrup in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir constantly until the mixture thickens.
Lightly beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then slowly add a small amount of the hot coconut mixture to temper the eggs, whisking continuously.
Return the egg mixture to the saucepan and add the remaining vanilla extract and gelatin powder, whisking until smooth and well combined. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Pour the filling over the cooled base layer, spreading it out evenly.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set before slicing into squares and serving.
