Author:
Serves: 10 bars
Ingredients
  • 1½ cup packed deglet noor dates pitted (approximately 45 dates)
  • ¾ cup sunflower seed butter (I used SunButter) or pumpkin seed butter
  • ¼ cup coconut oil
  • ½ cup + 2Tbsp coconut butter*
Chocolate Drizzle optional
  • 2 Tbsp allergen chocolate chips (I used Enjoy Life)
  • 2 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
  1. Combine ingredients into a blender or high speed food processor, *reserve ¼ cup + 2Tbsp coconut butter for middle layer.
  2. Pulse in blender until mixture becomes smooth. Continue blending until a dough forms into clumps, approximately 5-8 minutes.
  3. Pour and evenly press half the mixture in an 8 x 8 inch pan.
  4. Add reserved coconut butter and evenly spread. Place pan in freezer for 15 minutes or until coconut layer is firm.
  5. Press remaining caramel butter mixture on top. Place back into freezer to firm up.
  6. Cut bars and lightly drizzle with chocolate.
Notes
Makes about 10 bars. These are best enjoyed straight from the refrigerator to keep the structure. As written with sunflower butter, each bar contains approximately 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of fiber.
