Grain Free Vegan Magic Bars
Total Time: 00h 40m
Makes: 12 - 16 servings
These grain free vegan magic bars are a must for the holidays. My grandmother Birtciel made the traditional 7-layer magic bar every holiday. These are every bit as good, and even better than I remember as a child. Almond flour base and coconut condensed milk switch up the traditional ingredient list, as does adding in a layer of Grandy Oats grain free vegan granola. This was quite literally a genius addition if I don’t say so myself. Store these bars in the fridge, but they are delicious cold or at room temperature. I think you will find yourself making these bars anytime of the year, not just the holidays. (Thank you to our friend Stacey Swanson for creating this wonderful recipe.)

Ingredients
- 8x8 baking pan
- Beyond Gourmet Parchment paper
- Chosen Foods avocado spray or a coconut spray
- 1 3/4 cups Bob’s Red Mill almond flour
- 1/4 cup Wholesome Organic agave syrup
- 1/3 cup of vegan butter (softened or melted)
- 1/4 teaspoon of Frontier Co-op fine salt
- 1 cup of regular size allergen free vegan chocolate chips or 1/2 cup or so of mini chips
- 1 cup of chopped pecans
- 1 cup of Grandy Oats chocolate chunk grain free granola or another flavor of choice
- 1 cup of unsweetened coconut flakes
- 1 11.25 ounce can of coconut “condensed” milk
Directions
- Preheat 350 degree oven (325 if you are using a dark pan).
- Spray the pan liberally with nonstick spray.
- Line the pan with parchment in strips with some overhang. The spray the parchment liberally.
- Mix the almond flour, agave, vegan butter and salt. Press evenly into the pan and pop into the oven for about 5 minutes.
- Layer on the chocolate chips, coconut flakes, pecans, & granola.
- Pour the condensed milk all over the top.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes. Then cool completely before trying to remove or cut.
- Condensed milk can hard to the pan when cooled so take care and be patient trying to lift the bars out with the parchment wings. You may need to use a butter knife to gently loosen the sides up.
- Cut into squares. Store in the fridge and eat straight out cold or let come to room temperature. These are divine grain free and vegan and I challenge anyone that says grain free vegan tastes like cardboard.
