Ingredients
    For the shortbread base:
  • 2 1/4 cups blanched almond flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 tablespoons coconut oil, just melted
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • For the filling:
  • 1/2 cup chopped dates (packed into the measuring cup)
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 6 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons almond milk
  • 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 cups chopped pecans
Instructions
    To make the shortbread base:
  1. 1st Step

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F). Lightly grease a 9x9” square baking pan and then line with parchment paper.

  2. 2nd Step

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the blanched almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda.

  3. 3rd Step

    Add the coconut oil, maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  4. 4th Step

    Place the dough in the baking pan and use your hands or a small spatula to press the dough evenly over the bottom of the pan.

  5. 5th Step

    Bake for 17 minutes. The crust should just be starting to turn golden brown around the edges. Allow the crust to set/cool for at least 10-15 minutes (or longer) before topping with the filling.

    6. To make the filling:
  6. 1st Step

    Cover the chopped dates in 1 cup of hot water and set aside for at least 10 minutes.

  7. 2nd Step

    In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, almond milk, and sea salt. Stir until the coconut oil is just melted and then remove from heat.

  8. 3rd Step

    Drain and discard the hot water from the dates, and place the dates in a blender with the saucepan contents. Blend until smooth, pour back into the saucepan (so you don’t have to dirty another bowl), and then stir in the chopped pecans.

    9. To assemble & bake:
  9. 1st Step

    Immediately spoon the filling onto the prepared shortbread base and use a spatula or the back of a spoon to spread the filling out evenly.

  10. 2nd Step

    Bake for 16 minutes or until the filling feels like it has set. Cool completely before removing the bars from the pan and enjoying.
