Makes 16
Ingredients
  • 1 cup (96 grams) blanched almond flour
  • ¼ cup (57 grams) coconut butter, melted
  • ½ teaspoon (1.5 grams) kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon (1 gram) ground cinnamon
  • Coconut Milk Caramel (recipe follows)
  • ¾ cup (128 grams) 60% cacao dairy-free dark chocolate morsels
  • ½ cup (25 grams) unsweetened flaked coconut
  • ½ cup (57 grams) walnuts, coarsely chopped
  • ¼ cup (28 grams) almonds, coarsely chopped
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, and lightly grease with coconut oil.
  2. In a large bowl, stir together flour, melted coconut butter, salt, and cinnamon. Sprinkle mixture into prepared pan. Using your fingers or a spatula, press mixture down in an even layer, covering bottom of pan. (Mixture will be dry and crumbly at first, but keep pressing dough into pan until it comes together.)
  3. Pour Coconut Milk Caramel into prepared crust. Sprinkle with chocolate morsels, coconut, walnuts, and almonds. Use a fork, a spatula, or your fingers to press toppings down into caramel.
  4. Bake until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes. Refrigerate until completely chilled and set, at least 1 hour. Using a sharp knife, cut into 16 squares. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
You can use your favorite nuts in place of the walnuts and almonds in this recipe; just keep the amounts the same.
