q Directions

Recipe by layer:

DATE ALMOND CRUST:
🔹 22 soaked dates (just put in a bowl of water for maybe a minute) 🔹 3/4 cup +1 TBS raw almonds 🔹 2 heaping TBS cocoa powder 🔹 2 tsp coconut oil 🔹 Blend all ingredients in food processor until mixed 🔹 Roll mixture into a ball and press crust into the bottom of a GREASED 8x8 pan (I put the mixture on parchment paper and used a rolling pin to press it out a little, just to make it easier to spread out!)

COOKIE LAYER:
🔹 1 cup chickpeas (drained and rinsed) 🔹 3 TBS natural peanut butter (I use smucker's natural, just peanuts!) 🔹 2 TBS honey 🔹 1 stevia packet 🔹 1/2 TBS coconut oil 🔹 1 tsp vanilla 🔹 Dash of salt 🔹 2 TBS rolled oats 🔹 1 TBS unsweetened vanilla almond milk 🔹 1/4 cup cocoa nibs 🔹 1/4 cup mini choco chips 🔹 Blend all ingredients in food processor (except chocolate chips/nibs) until smooth 🔹 Add cocoa nibs and choco chips and pulse a couple times until mixed in 🔹 Spread this layer evenly over the date crust

TOP LAYER:
🔹 Sprinkle rolled oats and raw walnuts over the cookie layer🔹 Sprinkle unsweetened coconut over layers 🔹 Pour 1/4 cup canned coconut milk (full fat not lite) evenly over all layers 🔹 Bake at 350 for 30 mins

Note: The cookie dough layer would make a great no bake cookie dough dip! :)
