Ingredients

For the crust:

  • 2/3 cup coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/3 cup coconut oil, softened
  • 3 Tbsp raw honey

For the filling:

  • 2/3 cup unsweetened sunflower seed butter
  • 3 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 1 Tbsp raw honey
  • 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt

For the chocolate layer:

  • 3/4 cup good-quality dark chocolate chips (I used 1/2 cup 100% and 1/4 cup 70%)
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cinnamon, sea salt, raw honey and softened coconut oil. Use a fork to incorporate until a thick mixture forms. Then, add to prepared pan and pat down in an even layer with your hands. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once done, cool for 10-15 mintues before adding next layer.
  • In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, mix together the sunflower seed butter, coconut oil, raw honey, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice and sea salt. Mix for a few minutes or until smooth and well-mixed. Then, pour over cooled crust layer. Place in fridge to set for 30-45 mintues.
  • In a double boiler over medium heat, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Once melted, pour over cooled sunbutter layer. Tilt the pan around to spread the chocolate in an even layer.
  • Place back in the fridge to set for another 20-30 minutes. Then, cut into 16 squares. Store any leftovers in the fridge.
