Those smooth Vegan Magic Cookie Bars are twice as enchanted, made without sweetened condensed but nonetheless all of the same scrumptious sweet layers!
There are many recipes I consider magical…Cake with simply two elements and no baking? Magic. Breakfast food grew to become dreamy ice cream base? Magic. Crave-worthy cupcakes without flour/sugar/oil/nuts/gluten? Magic. color changing pancakes? Magic. And there was undeniably magic concerned here.
But this time I’m no longer just making it up, the word magic is clearly a part of the professional name of these bars. even though my version would possibly as nicely be referred to as Magical Magic Cookie Bars because they've a fruity secret aspect that makes them less complicated and more healthy and sweetened condensed milk free.
INGREDIENTS:
OAT CRUST OPTION:
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
ALMOND CRUST OPTION (GRAIN-FREE):
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 2-3 tbsp maple syrup
TOP LAYER:
- 3 ripe bananas
- 3/4 cup chocolate chips
- 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 3/4 cup chopped nuts (I used pecans, but any will work)
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- For the oat crust, blend the oats on low speed to break into small portions. Slowly pour in the maple syrup with the blender on till it clumps to shape a sticky chunky texture.
- For the almond crust, integrate the almond flour and maple syrup in a bowl. mix to create a sticky and clumpy dough that holds together when pressed. upload 1 tbsp water if it seems too dry.
- Press the crust into a baking dish coated with parchment paper (mine was eight×4″). Bake for 15 mins at 350F. cast off from the oven and funky for as a minimum 15 mins.
- Even as the crust is cooling, combination the bananas until smooth.
- Pour the banana puree on top of the crust.
- Sprinkle on the chocolate chips, nuts, and coconut. lightly press down until the banana puree rises up protecting the whole lot.
- Bake for 40 mins at 350F.
- Cool then sit back overnight.
- Day after today, slice and experience! preserve leftovers inside the refrigerator.
