This month we're making it all about simplifying daily life as we face the busier time of the holiday season.
So I thought, “What better time to share a treat recipe you don’t even need the oven for?!”
These No-Bake Coconut Almond Bars call for coconut butter (not to be confused with coconut oil) But it can be a little hard to find, so you can easily substitute extra almond butter or other favorite nut butter. It just won’t be as "coconutty."
No-Bake Coconut Almond Bars
(Makes 8 servings)
Base Layer:
● 1 cup (80 g) shredded coconut (unsweetened)
● ¼ cup (20 g) oat flour (grind rolled oats in a food processor or high-speed blender)
● ¼ cup (60 g) coconut butter
● ¼ cup (60 g) almond butter
● ¼ cup (60 ml) maple syrup or honey
● ¼ tsp sea salt or more to taste
● ½ tsp pure vanilla extract
Topping:
● 3 tbsp dark chocolate (80% cacao or higher) chopped
● 1 tbsp coconut butter
● 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
Directions:
Lightly grease a 9x5-inch (23x13-cm) loaf pan with cooking spray or coconut oil.
In a bowl, mix shredded coconut and oat flour for the base. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt coconut butter, almond butter, and maple syrup until smooth. Add vanilla and salt, then remove from heat.
Combine the melted mixture with the coconut/flour mix until it forms a ball. Press it evenly into the prepared pan and refrigerate.
For the topping, melt chocolate, coconut butter, and maple syrup over low heat. Spread smoothly over the base.
(Optional: Add dried cranberries for a festive touch!)
Let cool, and when it’s set, cut into 8 equal portions. DELICIOUS!
