Ingredients

Scale

For the Bars:

  • 2 flax eggs (2 tablespoons flax meal mixed with 6 tablespoons water)
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1/3 cup creamy cashew butter or almond butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 3/4 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 cup chopped pecans

For the Optional Frosting:

  • 1/2 cup vegan cream cheese or thick coconut yogurt
  • 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  • Prepare the Flax Eggs:

    • In a small bowl, combine flax meal and water. Stir and let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

  • Mix Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, cashew butter, maple syrup, almond milk, and prepared flax eggs until smooth.

  • Combine Dry Ingredients:

    • In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour, coconut flour, cinnamon, and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until fully combined. Fold in the chopped pecans.

  • Bake:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
    • Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let cool completely before frosting.

  • Prepare the Frosting:

    • In a small bowl, mix vegan cream cheese, coconut oil, and maple syrup until smooth. Spread the frosting over the cooled bars.

  • Serve:

    • Slice into squares and enjoy. Store leftovers in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. These bars also freeze well for up to 1 month.
  • Substitutions: Swap cashew butter with almond butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
