Ingredients
- 150 grams Almond flour
- 80 grams Coconut oil
- 60 ml Maple syrup
- 5 ml Vanilla extract
- 2 grams Sea salt
- 150 grams Coconut sugar
- 200 ml Canned coconut milk
- 80 ml Brown rice syrup
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch (20x20 cm) baking dish with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, 40 grams of melted coconut oil, 30 ml of maple syrup, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until a crumbly dough forms.
Step 3
Press the dough evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish to form a crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden. Let the crust cool while you prepare the caramel topping.
Step 4
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the coconut sugar, 200 ml of coconut milk, 40 grams of coconut oil, and 80 ml of brown rice syrup.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring constantly. Continue to cook while stirring for 12-15 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened and reduced slightly.
Step 6
Stir in the remaining maple syrup and vanilla extract. Allow the caramel to cool slightly before pouring it over the pre-baked crust.
Step 7
Spread the caramel layer evenly over the cooled crust. Sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt for garnish, if desired.
Step 8
Let the caramel squares cool completely at room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set.
Step 9
Once set, cut into squares and enjoy your dairy-free caramel treats! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
