Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup almond milk
Optional Addition
- 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon almond milk
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together almond flour, oat flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, salt, and baking soda until evenly combined.
- Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a thick, cohesive dough forms.
- Optional Pecans: If using pecans, gently fold them into the dough to distribute evenly.
- Press Dough into Pan: Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly and evenly to form a uniform layer.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, indicating it’s fully baked.
- Cool Bars: Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan, ensuring they set properly and don’t crumble when cut.
- Prepare Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk powdered sugar, almond milk, and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable.
- Glaze and Serve: Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled bars, slice into 9 pieces, and enjoy.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with sunflower seed flour and use a nut-free milk alternative.
- You can swap coconut sugar for brown sugar if preferred.
- Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
- Adding chopped pecans is optional but adds great texture and flavor.
- Ensure the bars are completely cool before glazing to prevent the glaze from melting and sliding off.
