These easy birthday cake bars with sweet sauce are a sweet treat with so much flavor. They do have some chocolate, but other than that they use healthier ingredients like almond flour, coconut sugar, honey, coconut oil, and dehydrated strawberries. These are a pretty quick treat to make aside from letting them cool.
This recipe would be great for getting your kids in the kitchen to help. I'm always experimenting with treats. I have made another version of this that had all white chocolate, no dark chocolate, and no strawberry sauce with just a few sprinkles. I wanted to try something different.
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Baking Pan
- Parchment Paper
- Large microwave safe bowl
- Small Microwave safe bowl
- Whisk
- Measuring Cups
- Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
Batter
- ⅓ Cup coconut oil, measured in solid state
- 1 tablespoon corn starch
- ¼ Cup almond milk, unsweetened
- ¼ Cup coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ¼ Cup coconut flour
- 1 ½ Cups almond flour
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
- ¼ Cup dark chocolate chips (or white), see note
Sauce
- ⅓ Cup white chocolate chips, see note
- 1 tablespoon Coconut oil
- ⅛ C dehydrated strawberries
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper or use a baking sheet.
- For the batter, melt your coconut oil in the microwave. Once melted, whisk in your corn starch and slowly add your almond milk. Next, add your honey, sugar, and vanilla. Mix well.
- On top of that, add your coconut flour, almond flour, baking soda, and a pinch of salt. Gently mix and then combine with the wet mixture underneath. Once mixed, fold in your ¼ Cup chocolate chips.
- Next, press out onto a 9 x 7 rectangle either in a baking pan or on a baking sheet. It will try to fall apart if you press too hard.
- Bake for 16 minutes. Remove from the oven and break apart into cookie size pieces. They will be odd shaped like when you make chocolate bark. Spread them out and bake another 5 minutes.
- Let them completely cool.
Strawberry Sauce
- Melt your coconut oil and chocolate together in the microwave. Add in your dehydrated strawberries. You want them to be mashed into a fine powder. Add in your almond milk to think it out. You can add more in if you want it to be a drizzling consistency.
Notes
- The sauce is optional, but fun!
- You could use ¼ Cup white chocolate chips for the batter and then ⅓ Cup white chips for the sauce if you wanted. You can bake and rebake it on a sheet if you want to. You will need to spread it out for the edges to brown when you bake again for 5 minutes. Enjoy!
Storage
- Store in an air tight container on the counter for up to 4 days.
