Paleo Vegan Magic Cookie Bars
These magic cookie bars are truly magical! They are bursting with so many flavors and textures. The shortbread layer provides a nice and sturdy base for all the toppings. This is then topped with a cream coconut layer, coconut flakes, pecans and dark chocolate chips. The end result is a little crunchy, a little creamy, and a little chocolaty. Truly the best combo! These magic cookie bars are rich and decadent enough that nobody will know they’re made with good for you ingredients. They’re Vegan and Paleo – but I promise you could fool anyone into thinking they’re the real deal!

Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
- Step 2
In a skillet over medium heat, add coconut cream, maple syrup and vanilla. Stir to combine. Bring to a light boil then reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer while you make and bake the shortbread layer. Keep a close eye to make sure it doesn’t burn. I like to stir mine every 30 seconds or so.
- Step 3
To make the shortbread layer, combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Press mixture down into the parchment lined baking pan in an even layer. Bake for 17-18 minutes or until set in the middle and slightly golden around the edges.
- Step 4
Once the shortbread layer has baked, pour coconut cream mixture on top. Sprinkle the coconut flakes, pecans and chocolate chips over everything.
- Step 5
Bake for about 23-24 minutes or until middle is set.
- Step 6
Allow to cool completely (several hours at room temperature or 1-2 hours in the fridge) before slicing into.
