Copycat Starbucks Cranberry Bliss Bars (Vegan, GF)

Recipe adapted from: ChocolateCoveredKatie

 

Ingredients:

• 3 cups almond flour
• ¾ tsp powdered/ground ginger
• ½ tsp salt
• ½ tsp baking soda
• 3 TBSP water
• Zest of one orange
• 2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• ½ cup pure maple syrup
• ½ cup dried cranberries
• ½ cup mini white chocolate chips
• Vegan cream cheese frosting *you can make this yourself (recipe here), or buy your favorite DF/vegan frosting from the store (like Miss Jones)

 

Directions:

• Preheat oven to 350 F. Line an 8 inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Stir dry ingredients together, then add all the remaining ingredients (except for the frosting) so that a dough forms. Cranberries can be mixed into the dough or sprinkled on top (or a little of both!).
• Transfer the dough to your prepared pan, and use a second sheet of parchment to press it evenly down into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 12 minutes. Let cool completely before frosting.
• Frost and decorate with extra cranberries, a little orange zest if you’d like, and dairy free white chocolate chips!
