Almond Flour Date Cookie Dough Bars

• 准备时间: 10 minutes

配料

2 cups fresh dates

2 cups almond flour*

¼ cup sunflower seed butter (or other nut/seed butter)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

2-3 tablespoons water

1 ¼ cups dark chocolate chips

1 teaspoon coconut oil

步骤

Pit the dates if they still have the pits in them, then place the halves into a food processor. Add the other ingredients and 2 tablespoons of water and pulse everything together until you achieve a cookie dough texture, and no large chunks of dates remain. Add a tablespoon more of water if needed. You want the dough just to sticky enough that when you squeeze it between your fingers it sticks together.

Press the dough evenly into a parchment lined 8x8 baking pan.

Melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together then pour over top of the cookie dough. Smooth the chocolate over the entire surface and then place in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes, until the chocolate hardens. Slice into bars** and devour! Keep them stored, covered, in the fridge.

备注

* you may use sunflower seed flour instead, for nut-free, allergy friendly.

** the coconut oil should help help the top chocolate layer not crack when slicing.
