These desserts are made with herbal sugars and are not heated above ~110 stages, as a result retaining all of the dietary benefits located within the substances. except the truth that they are jam-packed full of sense-desirable nutrients, but they’re additionally exceptional clean to put together.

So… approximately these magic bars. I take into account them pretty magic since the crust is a best blend of almond flour, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Yup, I’m on a nut butter kick this week (check out this PB&J Chia Seed Pudding recipe!), however I promise i can publish some thing distinct next week.

INGREDIENTS:

Peanut Butter Crust:

1 ½ c almond flour
½ c peanut butter smooth or crunchy
2 T coconut oil melted
1/3 c maple syrup
¾ c coconut shredded, unsweetened

Caramel Glaze:

1 T coconut oil melted
¾ c dates pits removed, coarsely chopped
¼ c water
1 T . maple syrup
1 pinch salt
3 T cacao nibs
3 T coconut shredded, unsweetened

INSTRUCTIONS:

For the Peanut Butter Crust:

In the bowl of a food processor combine all of the peanut butter crust ingredients. Process for 1-2 minutes, or until mixture begins to hold together and form a ball.
Press peanut butter crust into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Refrigerate while preparing the caramel glaze.

For the Caramel Glaze:

Place oil, dates, water, syrup and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 2 minutes, stopping every 20-30 seconds to scrape the sides. You want the dates to be completely smooth and the glaze to have a caramel consistency.
(Optional) Place glaze into a ziptop bag and cut one of the corners. Squeeze glaze out of the bag over the peanut butter crust layer in a criss-cross pattern.
If you don’t want to do the above, you can simply spread the glaze over the peanut butter bars.

Refrigerate bars for at least 1 hour before serving and keep refrigerated between servings. Enjoy!
