    Vegan 7 Layer Bars

    Dec 7, 2022 by Faith VanderMolen

    With a cookie base, a sweet creamy middle and decadent toppings, these Vegan 7 Layer Bars are sure to be a hit!

    stacked Vegan 7 Layer Bars

    These Vegan 7 Layer Bars were a hit over the holidays with Brett, his parents and our friends that came to visit. 7 Layer Bars, which are also called magic bars I believe, were one of my favorite desserts growing up, but I haven't had them in ages! Thankfully since I discovered how to make vegan sweetened condensed milk, yummy desserts like these can happen more often from here on out. 

    Praises!

    sliced Vegan 7 Layer Bars topped with Chocolate chips, coconut chips and chopped nuts

    Most 7 layer bars have a base that is made from graham crackers and butter, but thanks to a couple simple swaps, the base can easily be made completely vegan. For this recipe, you'll be using 4 simple ingredients. Mix oat flour and almond flour together. Then add in some coconut oil and maple syrup until a dough forms.

    For the Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk, you can either:

    • Simmer full-fat coconut milk with a little maple syrup and a pinch of salt on the stove top until it reduces and becomes thick and creamy. It's super rich and delicious and I can't wait to make Thai Iced Tea with it once the weather warms up. 
    • Buy dairy-free sweetened condensed milk

    With the base and the condensed milk sorted out, all that's left of these bars is the toppings. Chocolate chips, coconut chips and chopped nuts take these Vegan 7 Layer Bars to the next level. You can never go wrong with such a simple, decadent combination!

    I know some of you may find it weird that I'm posting a rich, decadent dessert in January while everyone else seems to be focusing on kale salads and green smoothies. For me, all food groups are up for grabs all year round. Other than staying away from animal products, I find that eating a balanced diet sprinkled with yummy treats like baked goods, chocolate and vegan ice cream is what suits me best. You won't find me on a diet this January!

    Equipment

    • 8x8 Baking Dish
    • Unbleached Parchment Paper

    Ingredients
     
     

    • 1 cup almond flour
    • ¾ cup oat flour
    • 3 tablespoon maple syrup
    • 3 tablespoon coconut oil
    • pinch sea salt
    • 1 jar vegan sweetened condensed milk you may not use it all
    • ½ cup nuts chopped
    • 1 cup dairy free chocolate chips
    • 1 cup flaked coconut

    Instructions 

    • Preheat your oven to 350 °F.
    • Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper or grease it with cooking spray. Set aside.
    • In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond and oat flour. Add in the coconut oil and maple syrup and stir until a dough forms. Press it into the bottom of your lined baking dish until it's in an even layer.
    • Pour over some of the sweetened condensed milk until the entire base is covered in a thin layer.
    • Sprinkle over the chopped nuts, chocolate chips and shredded coconut, making sure every part of the base has been well covered.
    • Drizzle a little more sweetened condensed milk overtop.
    • Bake the bars for about 25-30 minutes or until bubbling and the edges are starting to turn golden brown.
    • Allow the bars to cool to room temperature before placing the pan in the refrigerator for a few hours or overnight. This will make the bars much easier to cut!
    • When ready to serve, remove the bars from the fridge and cut them into bars

    Notes

    I like Nature's charm coconut sweetened condensed milk!

      I'll give it a shot but these are only five layers, not seven. The graham crackers, condensed milk, coconut, nuts and chocolate chips make five layers.

        Yes you're right! It's a spin off of traditional 7 layer bars. Sorry the title isn't accurate:)

      Are you a big tea drinker? What do you think of the Mushroom Matcha with Lion's Mane?

      https://www.amazon.com/Four-Sigmatic-Organic-Mushroom-Digestion/dp/B075T8FS8T/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1515914558&sr=8-1&keywords=mushroom+matcha

      It's quite expensive.

        Love tea and love matcha! But I’ve never tried that brand. Is it any good?

      Mmh, I can easily see why your family and friends enjoyed these so much. The bars sound really delicious. Magic cookie bars aren't known over here but I created my own similar version for the blog a few years ago. My mum very much disapproved ["feed them to the neighbour's chicken!"] while one of my colleagues even asked me to make them for whenever she got married [and she actually remembered them when she did get married in the past year]. The coconut condensed milk is just so good, right?

        Your version sounds delicious! I couldn’t decide what name these bars were...7 later or magic cookie so it’s cool to hear you call them magic cookie bars. And I bet your colleague loved having them at her wedding!
