Vegan Almond Butter Bars
Vegan Almond Butter Bars are an almond-twist on the classic snickers candy - made from raw ingredients, no-bake, gluten-free, refined sugar-free and ever so tasty!
Ingredients
Base
- 1 ½ cups almond flour
- ¼ cup almond butter, salted or unsalted
- 5 medjool dates
- ¼ teaspoon salt, if using unsalted almond butter
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon water, plus more if needed
Date Caramel
- 16 medjool dates
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ¼ cup non-dairy milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt, if using unsalted almond butter
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Almonds
- ½ cup almonds
Chocolate
- 1 ½ cups vegan chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil, unrefined
Instructions
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper (feel free to use any size, I've used both 8x8 and 9x11).
- Add all of the base ingredients to a food processor and mix together until a fine crumb forms. Add more water if needed to bring the mixture together.
- Press this mixture into the baking dish using a spatula. Then, place in the freezer while you make the date caramel.
- In the food processor, combine all of the date caramel ingredients and mix for a few minutes. If needed, add more plant milk to make it smooth and creamy.
- Spread the date caramel over the base. Sprinkle almonds on top and press them into the date caramel using the spatula. Place back in the freezer for 15 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second increments until melted.
- Pour the melted chocolate on top and let it set in the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes.
- Remove from the pan and cut into whatever shape/size pieces you want! Enjoy!
Notes
- Vegan Almond Butter Bars last up to 2 weeks in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer in an airtight container. I keep them in the freezer and grab one whenever I'm craving.
