Equipment

Ingredients

Bar

2 cups almond flour
½ cup rolled oats organic
1 cup deglet dates
½ cup cranberries dried
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp orange zest
½ tsp ginger powder
¼ cup soy milk unsweetened, or plant based milk of choice

Frosting

1 cup cashews
⅓ cup deglet dates
1 tbsp lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
¾ cup water

Topping

¼ cup cranberries dried, chopped

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Bar

Add the oats to food processor and grind into a flour.
Add the remaining bar ingredients to the food processor except for the soy milk and blend until mixture looks finely ground.
Slowly pour in the soy milk while food processor is running to get mixture to stick together.
Press mixture into the bottom of a parchment lined brownie pan.
Bake for 25 minutes.

Frosting

Add frosting ingredients to blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
Once bars are done baking, let cool for about 15 minutes before frosting.
Frost bar and sprinkle chopped cranberries on top.
Cut into triangular or square shaped bars.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Because the frosting doesn't have any preservatives, the color will look a little grey after the first day or so.
