IMG_1152.JPG

This is by far the easiest dessert recipe to date! These no bake, gluten free, vegan, dairy free, AND grain free healthy bars will be your new healthy dessert go to. For all the moms out there - did I mention minimal dish clean up? Woo woo!

If you have a peanut allergy, simply sub out the peanut butter for your favorite nut or seed butter. 

INGREDIENTS:

  • Ingredient 1: unsalted, creamy peanut butter (or nut/seed butter of choice)

  • Ingredient 2: (dairy-free) vegan chocolate chips (my favorite is the enjoy foods brand)

  • Ingredient 3: 100% Pure organic maple syrup (Trader Joes now carries this!)

  • Ingredient 4: Coconut Flour - can we get a grain free party over here?!

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1 cup natural, unsalted creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

  • ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons 100% organic pure maple syrup

  • ½ cup coconut flour 

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup vegan chocolate chips (I love enjoy life brand)

  • ½ cup unsalted, natural creamy peanut butter (or nut butter of choice)

  • Optional (Maldon sea salt Flakes)

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper or wax paper. Clear some space in the freezer for this pan—you’ll need it later. Set aside.

Make the Peanut Butter Layer: 

  1. In a medium bowl, add Peanut Butter Layer ingredients: 1 cup peanut butter, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons maple syrup, and ½ cup coconut flour. Stir until clump free! 

  2. Transfer peanut butter mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using a rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Set aside.

Make the Chocolate Topping: 

  1. Add Chocolate Topping ingredients to a small pot: 1 cup chocolate chips and ½ cup peanut butter. Stir (so it doesn’t burn) until smooth. You can also use your microwave and heat it up 20 seconds at a time and stir in between - I’m that weirdo hippy friend that doesn’t own a microwave

  2. Pour the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter filling. Using a clean rubber spatula, smooth into an even layer. Tap the pan a few times to help even out the chocolate.

  3. Transfer pan to freezer. Freeze for 45-60 minutes, or until firm. Remove from freezer and slice into bars. Enjoy!
