caramel brownie recipe

Make decadent, fudgy, rich, chewy, melt-in-the-mouth caramel brownies with a healthier twist thanks to this no-bake, gluten-free, vegan caramel bar recipe!

No-Bake Caramel Brownies

dates ((soaked in hot water, if they're dry))

tsp vanilla extract (or vanilla bean)

+ 1 Tbsp flaxseeds

peanut butter (or almond flour)

salt

maple syrup (or a different liquid sweetener)

coconut milk

sugar coconut sugar)

dairy-free chocolate chips (or dark chocolate (chopped))

coconut oil

First, process the whole flax seeds into a floury consistency in an electric coffee/spice grinder or small blender jug.

Then, mix all the dry ingredients in a food processor, before adding the dates and vanilla extract.

Process again until it forms a dough that sticks together when pressed between your fingers. This can take a few minutes. If it&#39;s still too dry, add more dates or a small amount of maple syrup.

Next, line a 6-inch square baking pan (double the recipe for an 8 or 9-inch pan) with lightly greased parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on both sides. Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish, pressing it down into an even layer.

Brownie Layer

Transfer the caramel ingredients to a saucepan and bring to a boil, then immediately reduce to a simmer and whisk often, for 10-15 minutes, until the mixture thickens.

Pour the caramel layer over the brownie base and transfer it to the freezer for 30 minutes.Alternatively, make an even healthier date caramel sauce. The full ingredient amounts and instructions are in the recipe notes.

Caramel Layer

Use a warm water bath or double boiler (a bowl set over a pan of simmering water) to melt the chocolate and coconut oil. Stir until smooth and melted.

Pour that over the caramel layer and return to the freezer for 5 minutes.

Finally, cut the vegan brownies into bars (using a hot knife is best), and enjoy!

Chocolate Layer

5 stars on flavor!! Wow this was truly delicious! 
First, it was easy to make.   
As I was making this, I had a bite of the brownie layer and was concerned bc on its own it wasn’t that great but once all the layers came together, it was truly delicious!  My boyfriend is a tough critic, a super foodie, and he had 3 servings bc he couldn’t stop eating it!  
My ONLY issue is that the caramel oozes out especially while cutting it.  So it was a bit messier than expected.   But I’ll definitely make it again!  It’s going on my list of favorites!

I made these for a baby shower, I’m vegan and some of the other ladies are.  They were a huge hit!  I made the date caramel and it was delicious.  Making them again today, just because. 😁

My God, these are delicious! And so easy to make. Used flour made from oats instead of almonds or Peanuts as I did not have anything else, worked just fine. I think it's unnecessary to freeze them, as we'll have finished them very quickly :-)

I made these and they were delicious!  I made the coconut sugar version; they were a little too sweet for me so what I did is to cut them as little bite pieces and topped them with almonds; everybody loved them! I'm planning to make the healthier version (with dates) next time. Thanks! Awesome!

All I have to do is melt the chocolate, but I can already tell this recipe is a hit!!! I used tahini in the caramel layer and it worked beautifully.
