Millionaire Shortbread

These millionaire shortbread bars are a healthier, vegan, and gluten free version of the traditional bars. They have three layers- a rich coconut crust, a date and peanut butter based caramel filling, and a thick dark chocolate top. I can’t get enough of them every time I make them, and I hope you enjoy these little desserts as much as I do!

How to make the millionaire shortbread bars

Crust Directions

In a large bowl, combine the coconut flour, maple syrup, coconut oil (make sure it is melted and liquid when you add it in. Microwave it for 30-40 seconds if it is not).

Also add the vanilla and salt.

Mix well, then add the crust to your pan.

Use your hands to spread evenly.

Caramel Filling Directions

Add all of the caramel filling ingredients to a food processor. *Make sure that you either soak the dates in water overnight, or soak them in hot water for 20-30 minutes prior to using. This will ensure that they are soft and easy to blend.

Blend all of your ingredients together in the food processor.

Then spread the caramel layer evenly on top of the crust.

Chocolate Topping Directions

To a bowl, add the melted chocolate and coconut oil.

Mix them together and pour on top of the caramel filling.

Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, cut up your bars and enjoy!
