Ingredients

- 2 tbsp 100% peanut butter
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
- 4 tbsp almond or coconut milk
The "vegan caramel layer"
- 17-20 dates
- 6 tbsp almond or coconut milk
The chocolate layer
- 80 g vegan chocolate
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C
- Soak the dates in warm water for 15mins, so they get softened. Then delete the their pits and place them in a blender, add coconut or almond milk and blend till smooth. Caramel is ready.
- In a large bowl, mix oat flour, peanut butter, coconut milk (or almond milk), and honey. Place the mass in a tray lined with baking paper and spread it all around the tray, so the thickness is about 0.5cm. Bake in the oven for 13mins, then take it out, let it cool and set aside.
- For the chocolate layer, melt the chocolate. You can add 1 tbsp of coconut oil there then the layer will have a softer texture.
- When the shortbread reaches room temperature, we can assemble the bar. Without taking the shortbread out of the tray, spread the dates caramel on it, then spread the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate cool.Cut it into pieces and enjoy!
