Description

Ingredients

• for the shortbread crust:
• ½ cup + 3 TBS coconut flour (70g)
• ¼ cup pure maple syrup
• ¼ cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted and cooled
• middle layer:
• 10-12 medjool dates, 1 cup loosely packed (175g), pitted
• 1 TBS non-dairy milk or cream
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• top layer:
• ¾ cup dairy-free chocolate chips (130g)
• 2 tsp extra virgin coconut oil

Directions

• Line a 9x5 loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing extra to hang over edge. Set aside.
• In a medium bowl add coconut flour, maple syrup, and coconut oil. Use spoon or spatula to fully combine. Allow dough to rest for a few minutes so coconut flour absorbs moisture.
• While dough is resting add pitted dates to small food processor or blender (I was able to use my NutriBullet). Add 1 tablespoon of non-dairy milk and vanilla extra to blender and process until smooth. (You may need to scrape down the blender cup/bowl a couple times.)
• Spread coconut flour dough into lined loaf pan, pressing flat and evenly into all four corners. Add date paste and use spatula to spread an even layer onto base.
• Melt chocolate and coconut oil together in medium microwave safe bowl in 15 second increments, stirring in between until fully melted. Pour melted chocolate into pan and spread smooth.
• Place pan in fridge and allow bars to set for 20-30 minutes (I do not recommend putting bars in freezer here because I found it makes the crust too hard). Once the bars have set, lift the plastic wrap out and place on cutting board. Using a large sharp knife slice bars into 18 squares. (You can wipe knife between each cut with paper towel if you want no crumbs on the squares)
• Bars can be enjoyed at room temperature but store in container in fridge.
