Shopping List
-
For the Crust
- 2 cups almond flour
- 6 tablespoons grass-fed butter or coconut oil, melted
- 4 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt For the Topping
- 1 (11 ounce) can condensed coconut milk (Note 1)
- 1 cup pecans and/or walnuts, chopped
- 3/4 cup mini vegan chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bar
- 3/4 cup shredded unsweetened coconut flakes
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line 1 (8 in. x 8 in.) pan(s) with parchment paper so that the parchment flap hangs from the sides. This will make it easier to remove the bars from the pan later.
- Step 2: Combine all of the almond crust ingredients in a mixing bowl. It should feel sandy in texture. Transfer the crust mixture to the prepared pan, pressing it down evenly (don't forget the corners) to create a flat surface.
- Step 3: Pre-bake the crust in the oven for 10 minutes. Then remove from the oven to cool for at least 10 minutes.
- Step 4: Sprinkle the following evenly over the cooled crust, in order: nuts, chocolate chips, and shredded coconut. Pour the condensed coconut milk over everything, making sure to fill any gaps evenly. If you'd like, sprinkle some extra chocolate chips on top.
- Step 5: Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 22 minutes. Set on a wire rack to cool completely before transferring the the refrigerator to harden, at least 2 hours or overnight.
- Serve: Once hardened, loosen the edges with a small knife and use the parchment flaps to lift to cookie slab out of the container. Slice and enjoy chilled or at room temperature. These bars store well in the freezer too.
Recipe Notes
Note 1: Most store-bought condensed coconut milks are sweetened with cane sugar and not paleo-friendly. To make your own naturally sweetened version, try this recipe by Detoxinista.
