Crust:
  • 1.5 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt
Middle layer:
  • 3/4 cup cashew butter
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil melted

Chocolate layer:

  1. Preheat oven to 350F and line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or nonstick spray.
  2. In a bowl, mix together all of your crust ingredients until well combined.
  3. Press into the bottom of the 8x8 baking dish, prick with fork several times, and bake for 15 minutes. Let cool at least 15 minutes before adding next layer.
  4. While crust is cooling, add cashew butter, coconut oil, maple syrup to small saucepan over medium heat. Heat for about two minutes or until all melted together. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla and salt.
