Ooey gooey salted caramel bars with maple-flavored almond crust and a crunchy topping - need I say more?

Ingredients

  • For the crust
  • 1 cup (95 g) ground almonds
  • 1 cup (90 g) ground oats (gluten-free if needed)
  • ⅓ cup (110 g) maple syrup (or agave)
  • For the caramel
  • 3 cups chopped dates, soaked in water for 1 hour (use my quick-soaking trick to speed things up)
  • ¼ cup (60 g) melted cocoa butter (or ¼ cup of your favorite nut butter)
  • salt to taste (I used ¼ teaspoon)
  • Toppings
  • optional: dates, chocolate chips and/or almonds for topping

Directions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 (180 Celsius) and line a 8x8 pan with parchment.
  • Combine the ground almonds, oats and maple syrup in a medium bowl and mix until you get a crumbly dough.
  • Transfer to the prepared pan and push in evenly. I like to use the back of a spoon or flat bottom of a glass (dip either in cold water if the mixture sticks to it too much).
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes. The crust should be firm and lightly golden at the edges.
  • Take out and let cool slightly.
  • In the meantime, drain the soaked dates and transfer into a food processor or a high-powered blender.
  • Process until entirely smooth (stop to scrape the sides as needed). If the mixture is too thick to blend properly, you can add a bit of maple syrup to make it easier.
  • Pour in the melted cocoa butter or you favorite nut butter, add the salt and blend once again. You should end up with a smooth paste.
  • Spoon out onto the cooled crust and spread out evenly with a spatula.
  • If you like, top with chopped almonds, dates, chocolate chips or anything you want.
  • Let the bars set in the fridge or freezer and slice before serving.

Ooey gooey salted caramel bars with maple-flavored almond crust and a crunchy topping – need I say more? When I first heard of salted caramel, the idea didn’t sound appetizing to me in the least.
