Caramel Squares With Activated Buckinis [Vegan, Gluten-Free, No Refined Sugar]

This Recipe is :

Dairy Free No Refined Sugar Vegan

Serves

Cook Time

Ingredients

For the Base:

2 cups organic activated buckwheat grouts
1 1/2 cup medjool dates – pitted
2 tablespoons peanut butter – or almond butter if you have a peanut allergy
2 tablespoons organic cold pressed coconut oil – melted
Pinch pink himalayan rock salt

For the Caramel Topping:

2 and 1/2 cups regular dates – pitted
2 tablespoons organic cold pressed coconut oil, melted
1/2 teaspoon pink Himalayan rock salt

Preparation

For the Base:

Place the activated buckwheat grouts into the food processor and process for about a minute just to help break them down a bit.
Add the remaining ingredients, and blend until all combined.
Press the mixture down into a lined baking dish. I used a 8-inch by 11-inch dish. Rub a bit of coconut oil on your hands to help avoid the mixture sticking to your hands whilst pressing down.
Place into the freezer while you make the caramel topping.

Notes

Use organic whenever possible!
