- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 tsp salt
- 3/4 cup coconut cream
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds (optional)
- 1/2 cup pecans, roughly chopped (optional)
Method
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper, coating the inside with oil so the paper sticks.
- Mix the almond flour, almond butter, melted coconut oil, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl; the dough may be crumbly.
- Press the dough evenly into the dish with your hands.
- Put the coconut cream, honey and vanilla extract in a small pan over medium heat, stir frequently and simmer on low for about 20 minutes for the caramel sauce, then take it off the heat and let it cool.
- Heat the oven to 350°F while the sauce cools.
- Scatter the chocolate chips, shredded coconut, sliced almonds and pecans evenly over the pressed base.
- Pour the caramel sauce carefully over the bars and press the toppings down into it with a spatula, then sprinkle a few more chocolate chips and a small handful of shredded coconut over the top.
- Bake for 25 minutes, take the dish out, cover it with foil and refrigerate for at least 2 hours so the bars hold together, then cut them into 12 squares.
