These Vegan Coffee Cream Bars are a delightful treat, combining the rich flavors of coffee and creamy cashew cream on a hearty oat base. They're perfect for indulging in a sweet, coffee-flavored snack that's entirely plant-based.
Ingredients: 2 cups rolled oats. 1 cup dates, pitted. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1/4 cup almond butter. 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted. 2 tsp instant coffee powder. 1 cup raw cashews, soaked overnight. 1/2 cup coconut cream. 1/4 cup maple syrup. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Pinch of salt.
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350F 175C. In a food processor, blend rolled oats, dates, maple syrup, almond butter, coconut oil, and instant coffee until a sticky dough forms. Press the dough evenly into the bottom of a lined baking dish. Bake for 10-12 minutes, then let it cool. In a blender, combine soaked cashews, coconut cream, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Spread the cashew cream mixture over the cooled oat base. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set. Once set, slice into bars and serve chilled.
