Hey luvs
Happy Friday!! Can’t believe it has been another week…and it is only going to get busier for us over here. The is the busy season for our bakery.
Well remember this guy
Our Gluten free Vegan and Nut free Cookie Pie
Well we tweaked the recipe some.
Check out our new Cookie Dough Tahini Bar.
Pure2raw Recipe: Cookie Dough Tahini Bar
Bottom Layer
- ¼ cup coconut flour
- 2 tbsp maca (or more coconut flour or mesquite)
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- 2 tbsp date paste
- ¼ cup tahini
- 30 drops stevia*
- 2 tbsp coconut butter (not oil)
- 2 tbsp cacao nibs (or chocolate chips)
Chocolate Layer
- ¼ cup carob or cacao (or 2 tbsp of both)
- 2 tbsp vanilla
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 30 drops stevia (we use SweetLeaf liquid stevia)
- Sprinkle with coconut flakes.
It is easy!! You just hand stir it together! And no dehydrating needed!
Spread the bottom cookie layer into a pan, we used a 6×6 glass pan. Place bottom layer down first followed by the chocolate layer. Let it rest in fridge to set for a hour and then enjoy.
We sprinkled coconut flakes on bottom of pan to make it easier to come out!
Then spread chocolate layer on top, followed by coconut flakes, if desired.
And place in fridge till ready to devour enjoy!!!
This recipe does have a little tahini taste, which we love, so if you do not prefer a tahini flavor, I would reduce it down and up the coconut butter. You may do all coconut butter, but we prefer the texture the tahini helps give the cookie layer, keeps it more soft and gooey.
We just love tahini! It gave this recipe a nice creaminess, earthy, and not too sweet.
Perfect in our opinion!
Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!!
Got to get back in the kitchen.
Till next time,
L&M

Looks lovely ladies!!
Might have to give it a try!!
Hope you guys are great! Have an awesome weekend!
I am very impressed with all that you two are doing! Recipe looks wonderful and will have to give it a try
Wow, these sound and look amazing, ladies! Even just looking at these photos brightens my day. Oh, and it also makes me crave something sweet, too!
That looks truly amazing!! Is there any substitute for the coconut butter? I don’t have any and don’t know where to buy it or how to make it. Thanks!!
Catherine, substitute for coconut butter in this recipe you could use any nut butter of your choice just be aware that it might change the flavor some. Or you can make your own coconut butter – look at this for details http://heathereatsalmondbutter.com/2010/03/09/homemade-coconut-butter/ . Heather did a great job in showing how to make it. We have actually followed her advice and made our own and comes out
Let me know if there is anything else.
yum! You ladies have delivered once again:) I’ve seen coconut flour around in the blogosphere..sounds interesting. Can you actually use it to bake or is it best used in raw recipes?
Melissa, there are different types of coconut flour. For a raw version – you just take regular raw coconut flakes and grind them up till they are fine like a flour or meal. Or you can find regular coconut flour in most stores. You can use that one in regular baking, we use it all the time and love it. In our raw desserts we tend to just grinded up coconut flakes as our ‘flour’. I hope this helps.
Yay for coconut flour!
LOVE this recipe! Especially because I already have most of those ingredients, which is always a plus. I absolutely love tahini. I tend to prefer it in *sweet* form – like topped with cinnamon – so cookie dough is clearly right up my alley =)
This looks AMAZING, and I love how clean the ingredient list is!! I’m definitely bookmarking this ASAP!!
Thanks Gabriela! We try to keep things simple and easy as much as possible
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this is amazing!!!!!!! I never had tahini, but have always thought to buy it, maybe I should!
Girls, you are always making something yummy!!
Oh you love seaweed salds too?!! yay! I swear I get cravings for it like twice a week, so I hop down to the local organic market and buy some!!
Have a great weekend girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how this recipe is dehydrator free and agave free!!! It looks so so so good. I wonder if you could sub almond butter for tahini? I’m discovering my appreciation for tahini is very rare. I like it on sweet taters and in hummus and that’s pretty much it.
Can’t wait to make this! Thanks so much.
Hey Fartygirl, yes you can sub out the tahini for almond butter. It will just change the taste to be more almond flavor than tahini, which is just fine
Hope you like! xoxo
Love tahini…i have some i need to use up, thanks for the idea
OMG genius recipe and thank you for sharing it so selflessly with all of us! I have everything in my cupboard!!!! I will sub out the tahini w/ sunbutter i think
b/c i dont love tahini. And i only have coc oil, not butter, but will just use less of it 
As to not make it runny. But omg, this is a winner!
Also thx for telling me bout your sis and being a bodybuilder, etc that was fun to read!
xoxo
What a treat! I’m so happy that you have given us the recipe! It looks so decadent and professional! Let’s see how we all do making it… probably half as pretty but hopefully equally delicious! I cannot wait to try out this recipe!
Happy Friday!
um…yum!! double yum! I’m making this one day, thanks for sharing!!!
Oh YUM! These could not look and sound any better!! Holy crap, I want one, now!!
These were a big hit! I used almond butter instead of tahini and maple syrup instead of date paste, and almond extract in the topping instead of vanilla. My family devoured them!
Erin – awesome! Glad you and your family enjoyed them! This reminds me I need to make these again
That looks awesome! I’m going to try the subsitutes that you did Erin since those are the ingredients I have on hand!
Jess please feel free to make substitutions to make the dessert more to your liking and what you have on hand!
