CHOCOLATE CARAMEL PEANUT BUTTER BARS [VEGAN]

INGREDIENTS

BASE:

• 1 1/3 cup whole rolled oats (processed into flour)
• 1/3 cup coconut flour
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/3 cup natural runny peanut butter
• 1/4 cup full fat canned coconut milk/cream

CARAMEL LAYER:

• 3/4 cup pitted medjool dates
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup natural peanut butter
• 1/3 cup chopped plain peanuts

PREPARATION

1. In a food processor add the whole rolled oats and process into a flour consistency.
2. Add all the base ingredients into a bowl and mix, set aside.
3. Add the caramel ingredients into a food processor (set the chopped peanuts aside!) and blend until smooth.
4. Line a small dish with parchment paper and add the base layer, then the caramel layer and top with chopped peanut and chocolate drizzle or layer. Freeze overnight at least 6 hours.
5. Store in the fridge 1 week or freezer 1-2 months.

NOTES

The pitted medjool dates need to be soft and gooey, if they aren’t soft and gooey soak them in hot water for 30 minutes first.
