VEGAN MAGIC COOKIE BARS

There are many recipes I consider magical…

Cake with just TWO ingredients and no baking? Magic.

Breakfast food turned dreamy ice cream base? Magic.

Crave-worthy cupcakes without flour/sugar/oil/nuts/gluten? Magic.

Color changing pancakes? Magic.

And there was undeniably magic involved here.

But this time I’m not just making it up, the word magic is actually part of the official title of these bars. Although my version might as well be called Magical Magic Cookie Bars because they have a fruity secret ingredient that makes them easier and healthier 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

1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
2. For the oat crust, blend the oats on low speed to break into small pieces. Slowly pour in the maple syrup with the blender on until it clumps to form a sticky chunky texture. 
3. For the almond crust, combine the almond flour and maple syrup in a bowl. Mix to create a sticky and clumpy dough that holds together when pressed. Add 1 tbsp water if it seems too dry.
