Ingredients
 

  • 1 ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp. sea salt
  • ¼ tsp. cream of tartar
  • 1 flax egg (1 tbsp. flax meal + 2.5 tbsp. water)
  • ½ cup coconut oil (melted)
  • ⅓ cup pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp. vanilla extract

Topping

  • 1 ½ tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. ground cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F and lightly grease a 8x8 square pan.
  • In a small bowl make your flax egg. Combine 1 tbsp. of flax meal with 2.5 tbsp. water stir together and set aside for five minutes to gel up.
  • In a medium sized bowl add the flour, baking powder, cinnamon (just the cinnamon for your bars not the topping), salt and cream of tarter. Stir until incorporated together.
  • Once your flax egg has set for five minutes add your maple syrup, vanilla extract and coconut oil to the bowl with your flax egg and mix until well incorporated.
  • Now add the wet ingredients to your dry and fold the mixture together. Mix until incorporated but only until incorporated. You do not want to over mix your batter.
  • Add your batter to your pan and spread evenly. The batter will be very thick. I used my hands to press it evenly into the pan.
  • Into a small bowl add your cinnamon and sugar for your topping and stir until well incorporated together. Sprinkle this mixture evenly on top of your bars.
  • Place into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean and the top forms a crispy crust.
  • Once the bars have cooled cut them into 9 even squares.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

  • If you would like to make these refined sugar free you can substitute the sugar with coconut sugar in the topping ingredients. 
  • The batter will be thick I used my hands to make sure it was even in the pan before sprinkling the cinnamon sugar topping mixture. 
  • The coconut oil needs to be melted and can be replaced with melted vegan butter if needed.
