Ingredients
For the cookie base:
¼
cup
maple syrup
1
cup
all purpose flour
1
teaspoon
salt
For the Caramel
½
cup
maple syrup
1
can full fat coconut milk
For the other Layers:
½
cup
vegan chocolate chips
½
cup
walnuts
chopped
¼
cup
unsweetened coconut
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
In a bowl, mix together the flour, ¼ cup of the maple syrup, coconut oil and salt.
Press into the bottom of the pan.
Bake for 8-10 minutes. You might need to press it down slightly when it comes out of the oven.
While the cookie crust cools, put the coconut milk and maple syrup in a saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil for one minute. Reduce to a simmer.
You will need to stir constantly and simmer for about 20 minutes, until the sauce begins to thicken and is reduced to about 1 cup. THIS TAKES A WHILE.
Once you have the caramel, pour about ½ cup on top of the cookie crust.
Top with the walnuts, chocolate chips and coconut.
Top with the rest of the caramel.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
Let cool to room temperature and then refrigerate for at least six hours.
Once cooled, cut into 12 pieces and enjoy!
