Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup full fat coconut milk
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 3 Tbsp coconut sugar
- 1/4 cup + 1 Tbsp coconut oil, room temperature
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup walnuts, chopped
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (Enjoy Life is a great dairy free, gluten free option)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 inch glass or metal baking pan with parchment paper and spritz with cooking spray. (I use avocado oil or coconut oil spray)
- Whisk the coconut milk and the maple syrup together in a sauce pan over high heat. You are making a homemade version of sweetened condensed milk. Bring the mixture to boil for 1 minute, stirring. After 1 minute turn the heat down to medium and allow the mixture to simmer for 18-20 minutes stirring frequently. The amount of liquid in the pan will reduce. Remove the sauce from the heat and allow to cool while you prepare the rest of the dish.
- With a stand mixer or electric mixer, combine the coconut oil and coconut sugar until creamy.
- Add in the flour and sea salt until thoroughly combined.
- Press this dough into the bottom of the prepared pan into a flat and even layer. Bake at 350 degrees for about 7 minutes.
- Remove the cookie crust from the oven and top with the walnuts, pecans, chocolate chips and coconut flakes. Gently press these into the crust.
- Pour the coconut milk and maple syrup mixture evenly over the top.
- Bake at 350 degrees for about 28-30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Once the bars are cool, cover with foil and place in the fridge overnight.*
- After cooling in the fridge overnight, remove the bars from the fridge and cut with a sharp knife into 16 squares and enjoy!
Notes
*It is essential that you allow these bars to cool in the fridge overnight.
