No Bake Caramel Brownie Bars 😍

By @georginaburgess_

Ingredients
For the Brownie Base:
3/4 cup nut butter the runnier the better
5 tbsp agave syrup or maple syrup or liquid sweetener of choice
2 tbsp coconut oil melted
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup + 1 tbsp cocoa powder
3/4 cup rolled oats
1 pinch salt
For the Date Caramel Centre:
10 medjool dates pitted and soaked in boiled water for 10 minutes to soften
2 tbsp nut butter of choice or tahini
1 pinch salt
For the topping:
100 g dark chocolate
1 pinch flaky salt optional

Instructions
Line a loaf tin with baking paper so that it hangs over the sides (easy to remove later)
Prepare the Brownie Base by combining the nut butter, syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla extract and stir until combined.
Add the oats to a blender and pulse until a flour forms. Add this to the bowl along with the cocoa powder and a pinch of salt and stir well. A thick, fudgy mixture will form. Press this into the bottom of the lined tin.
Make the date caramel by adding all the ingredients to a blender and blending until smooth.
Spread this over the base.
Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or Bain Marie, or in 30 second bursts in the microwave.
Pour over the caramel layer and top with a sprinkle of flaky salt. Place in the fridge or freezer until the chocolate sets (around 20 minutes).
Remove the slab and slice into squares or bars (sometimes this is easier to do with a hot knife). Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
