Vegan Magic Bars

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 1/2 cups fine graham cracker crumbs (9 cookie sheets) OR Healthy Graham Crackers
• 2 tbsp pure maple syrup or sugar of choice, or pinch uncut stevia
• if using stevia, add 2 tbsp water
• 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup finely chopped dates OR more chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts, optional
• 2/3 cup full-fat shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened
• 1 1/4 cup full-fat canned coconut milk
• 3 tbsp oil or buttery spread, optional

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Some of the readers who’ve made this recipe have loved the bars as-is, but a few readers asked how to make the crust more like traditional Magic Square crust.
2. If you want a crust that is less soft, just include the optional 3 tbsp oil or buttery spread with the graham cracker crumbs before pressing down. Or if you want them grain-free, you can easily use your favorite grain-free crust instead, such as an almond flour crust.
3. Line an 8-inch square pan with parchment paper going a little up each side. Preheat oven to 350 F. In a bowl, toss the graham cracker crumbs with the sweetener (and water if using stevia)
