Categories     Desserts

Yield 12 bars

Number Of Ingredients 16

½ cup macadamia nut
½ cup coconut flakes
3 tablespoons agave nectar
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 tablespoon almond butter, or peanut butter
1 pinch pink himalayan salt
1 ½ cups ground almonds
2 cups medjool date, pitted
2 tablespoons coconut oil
½ cup filtered water
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
¼ teaspoon pink himalayan salt
5 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
4 tablespoons organic cacao powder
2 tablespoons agave nectar
½ cup gluten-free pretzel, or flaked almonds for 100% raw

Steps:

  • Line a square, loose-bottom 20-cm (8-in) baking tray with parchment paper.
  • First make the almond biscuit layer: blend all of the ingredients except the ground almonds in the blender until the nuts and coconut are finely chopped. Add the ground almonds then pulse until fully incorporated. The mixture should be sticky.
  • Press the almond mixture into the base of the baking tray, making sure it's an even layer all over.
  • Pop the tray into the freezer and get on with the caramel layer.
  • Rinse out the blender. Blend all of the ingredients in the blender until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
  • Remove the tray from the freezer and spread the caramel layer over the top evenly. Pop the tray back into the freezer to set for around 2 hours.
  • After the 2 hours, remove the tray from the freezer and place the toppings on.
  • Carefully remove the bars from the tin, then cut it into 12-14 bars. Run your knife under hot water between each cut to make it easier.
  • Place the bars onto a baking tray and back into the freezer while you make the coating.
  • Mix the chocolate coating ingredients together in a small mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Remove the bars from the freezer and drizzle the coating over the top of each bar. Top each bar with a couple of pretzels or a sprinkling of flaked almonds. Serve straight away or store in the freezer for up to 2 months. Serve straight from the freezer.
  • Enjoy!

TOASTED ALMOND BARS



Toasted Almond Bars image

This recipe can be made either as blondies (for snacking), or as a tart (for dessert), simply by choosing a different baking pan. But try hard to resist eating either while still warm, as both are at their chewiest best when cooled completely and then refrigerated.

Provided by Doug in Manhattan

Time 3h35m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 ⅓ cups sliced blanched almonds
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup light brown sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 teaspoon almond extract, or more to taste
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 large egg yolk, at room temperature

Steps:

  • Spread out almonds on a rimmed baking sheet or in a 9x13-inch pan.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place almonds in the preheating oven and toast for 10 to 12 minutes to heighten their flavor. Don't let them burn. Remove from the oven and transfer to a plate so they won't continue toasting. Set aside. Keep the oven on.
  • Meanwhile, line the bottom of a 9-inch springform pan with parchment paper that extends 2 inches on both sides of the pan. Center the paper across the loose bottom of the pan and clamp the ring closed over the paper and bottom. Grease springform pan and parchment paper. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, and salt together in a bowl. Combine sugar, butter, and almond extract in a second bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until light and fluffy and the the sugar is no longer granular. Mix in egg and egg yolk until well combined. Add flour mixture and mix until well combined.
  • Measure 1 cup toasted almonds and fold into the batter until evenly distributed. The batter will be thick. Spread batter evenly into the prepared pan using a spatula. Sprinkle remaining almonds across the top. Place springform pan on a baking sheet for easier handling and to catch any drips.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 28 minutes. Remove from the oven and set pan on a cooling rack for 10 minutes.
  • Unclamp the pan and carefully removing ring. Then carefully slide the hot metal pan bottom out from under the parchment, pulling the bottom in one direction with a potholder, and the parchment together in the opposite direction using a flap of parchment as the handle.
  • Cool to room temperature on the parchment on the cooling rack, about 30 minutes. Cover and refrigerate until chilled before cutting into bars, about 2 hours.

Tips:

  • Use fresh pretzels. Stale pretzels will not have the same flavor or texture as fresh pretzels.
  • Melt the butter completely. This will help the pretzels to absorb the butter and become evenly coated.
  • Press the pretzels into the pan firmly. This will help them to stay together and not crumble.
  • Bake the pretzels until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through and have a crispy texture.
  • Let the pretzels cool completely before cutting them. This will help them to hold their shape and not crumble.
  • Store the pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
