Instructions
Add the coconut milk and honey to a medium saucepan and place it over medium heat. Once the milk starts to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. Allow the mixture to simmer until it reduces by half, about 25 minutes, stirring frequently. If thicker sugar pieces begin to stick to the sides, whisk to incorporate. Once the coconut milk has thickened and coats the back of a spoon, remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
While the coconut condensed milk is simmering, in a medium bowl, whisk the almond flour, coconut flour, salt, and cinnamon until combined. Add the melted coconut oil and honey and mix everything together until a crumbly dough forms. With a spatula or your hands, press the crust mixture evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Allow crust to cool for 2-3 minutes before topping with ingredients.

I’ve made this multiple times and it always turns out fantastic! I use maple syrup instead of honey because I have an abundance of it. Sooo good!
Hi, Noelle! The flavor of these cookie bars is perfect, but the nut flour base is crumbling too much when I slice and remove pieces from the pan. Maybe a better binding agent is necessary with the base, like an egg or flax egg. I’ll experiment next time.
Noel I hate nuts - any alternatives??
You are so welcome! You won't be disappointed.
Delicious!
YAY! That's awesome. I have the same experience... which is why I always make this for holidays and potlucks with non-paleo people. SO glad you loved them. Thanks for sharing!
I just made these for a potluck and they are the BOMB (obviously I had to do a little quality control). Even my paleo dessert agnostic husband loved them! I used almond meal and a little bit of coconut flour for the crust.
Aweeesome! :) You're going to love them!
Absolutely! That's exactly what cashew flour is. Just make sure to stop before it turns to cashew "butter." :) If you don't have cashew flour on-hand, simply use almond flour in its place. Hope that helps!
Tip: Make them for a special occasion! :) This is what I always do.
