Ingredients

• 2 cups Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Coconut flour
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Butter, melted
• 0.5 cup Erythritol or monk fruit sweetener
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 cup Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
• 0.5 cup Chopped walnuts or pecans
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, and shredded coconut. Stir in the melted butter, erythritol, vanilla extract, and salt until a crumbly dough forms.

Step 3

Press 2/3 of the dough mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish, creating an even base layer.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the chopped dates and water. Stir continuously until the dates have softened and formed a thick paste, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Remove the date mixture from heat and stir in the chopped walnuts or pecans.

Step 6

Spread the date and nut mixture evenly over the base layer in the baking dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the remaining dough mixture over the date layer, pressing lightly to adhere.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown.

Step 9

Allow the bars to cool completely in the dish before lifting them out using the parchment paper. Cut into 12 bars.

Step 10

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week or refrigerate for up to two weeks.
