Tips:

  • Prepare the Ingredients: Before you start baking, make sure you have all the ingredients measured and ready to go. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you have everything you need to make the arrowroot bars.
  • Use Unsweetened Arrowroot Powder: It's important to use unsweetened arrowroot powder to make these bars. Sweetened arrowroot powder will make the bars too sweet and may not set properly.
  • Don't Overcook the Mixture: Keep an eye on the mixture as it cooks. You want it to thicken, but you don't want it to overcook and become too thick. Overcooking can make the bars gummy.
  • Chill the Bars Properly: Once the bars are baked, let them cool completely before chilling them. This will help them set properly and make them easier to cut.
  • Store the Bars Properly: Store the arrowroot bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze the bars for up to 3 months.

Conclusion:

Arrowroot bars are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are gluten-free, grain-free, and dairy-free, making them a great option for people with food allergies or sensitivities. These bars are also a good source of fiber and vitamins. The next time you are looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give arrowroot bars a try!
