Nguyên liệu

1 cup almond flour

1/2 cup gluten free oats

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup

1 flax egg (1 tablespoon flax seed meal + 2.5 tablespoon water)

1 1/3 cups pitted dates

1/2 cup almond butter

2 1/2-3 tablespoons maple syrup (depending on preference -- the extra maple syrup makes it a little sweeter and more caramel-y)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup melted chocolate chips (we prefer semi-sweet but you could also use dark chocolate)

1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

1/2 cup melted chocolate chips

1/2 teaspoon coconut oil

Hướng dẫn

Cookie base

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a 9x5 bread pan with parchment paper.

Mix flax egg if you haven't already and let sit 5-10 minutes.

Place all other ingredients in a mixing bowl. Add flax egg and mix together until well combined.

Press dough into prepared bread pan, spreading and pressing from end to end.

Bake 18 minutes.

Caramel filling

Add the dates to a food processor and process until smooth. Add remaining ingredients and process until well combined.

Spread evenly over baked cookie base.

Freeze for 1- 2 hours - or more (I've frozen overnight depending on your timing)

Chocolate coating

Using a double boiler, melt coconut oil and chocolate chips.

Pour over frozen bars and put back in the freezer to set -- 1-2 hours or overnight depending on when you make them.

Tip: The bars will be easier to cut when they are frozen.

Cut into bars

After frozen, lift parchment a paper out of the pan, and cut into bars -- First cut into strips about 3/4 inch wide (you'll get 8 or 9 strips), then cut the strips into halves or thirds, depending on your preference. I have a mix of sizes -- 3/4 inch wide by 1 1//4 - 2 inches long. You'll end up with 16-27 mini bars depending on how you cut them.

Tip: if chocolate cracks while cutting, try cutting with a serrated knife.

Top with chocolate drizzle if desired or enjoy as is!

Chocolate drizzle (optional)

Using a double boiler, melt chips and coconut oil.

Using a spoon drizzle melted chocolate over cut bars for decorating.

Place back in freezer to set.
