HEALTHY NO BAKE MAGIC BARS | VEGAN, GLUTEN FREE

Hello healthy, meet delicious.  A deliciously healthy dessert that does not make you feel uber guilty about eating it when you’re done?!  Sign me up!!  Over a year ago I discovered the awesomeness of raw desserts.

These desserts are made with natural sugars and are not heated above ~110 degrees, hence preserving all of the nutritional benefits found in the ingredients.  Besides the fact that they are jam-packed full of feel-good nutrients, but they’re also super easy to prepare.

Ingredients
Peanut Butter Crust:

• 1 ½ c almond flour
• ½ c peanut butter smooth or crunchy
• 2 T coconut oil melted
• 1/3 c maple syrup
• ¾ c coconut shredded, unsweetened

Caramel Glaze:

• 1 T coconut oil melted
• ¾ c dates pits removed, coarsely chopped
• ¼ c water
• 1 T . maple syrup
• 1 pinch salt
• 3 T cacao nibs
• 3 T coconut shredded, unsweetened

Instructions
For the Peanut Butter Crust:

• In the bowl of a food processor combine all of the peanut butter crust ingredients. Process for 1-2 minutes, or until mixture begins to hold together and form a ball.
• Press peanut butter crust into a parchment paper-lined 9 x 5 inch loaf pan. Refrigerate while preparing the caramel glaze.

For the Caramel Glaze:

• Place oil, dates, water, syrup and salt into the bowl of a food processor. Process for 2 minutes, stopping every 20-30 seconds to scrape the sides. You want the dates to be completely smooth and the glaze to have a caramel consistency.
• (Optional) Place glaze into a ziptop bag and cut one of the corners. Squeeze glaze out of the bag over the peanut butter crust layer in a criss-cross pattern.
• If you don’t want to do the above, you can simply spread the glaze over the peanut butter bars.
