Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375. Line a 8×11 or 9 inch square casserole dish with parchment or grease well.
  2. Spread half of berries across bottom of pan (no need to thaw frozen berries)
  3. Combine dry ingredients and spread them evenly over berries.
  4. Combine wet ingredients and spread evenly over dry ingredients.
  5. Spread remaining berries across the top. Sprinkle with salt and additional sugar if desired. Bake for 45 minutes or until top appears dry and firm.
  6. During baking time, make cashew cream if desired. Puree all ingredients in high speed blender until smooth! (If you’re having difficulty getting it smooth, blend, then allow to soak for 5-10 minutes and blend again–small pieces soften much more quickly!)
Recipe Notes

Note: can also use 8 inch square dish but bars will be quite thick and may need additional cooking time.

If using liquid sweetener decrease milk to 1 3/4 cup.

These are what I like to call “gently sweet.” You can add more sweetener to taste, or offer maple syrup or vanilla cashew cream as a topping if desired.

Although not required, some fat in the recipe is highly recommended. I prefer the unsaturated fat in nuts—if you don’t have almond flour you can purée almond or peanut butter or other nuts in with the plant milk to add the fat.

This doubles well–I used a 10×15 casserole dish and baked it at 400. Thanks to the lack of eggs, it’s really just personal preference how dry and well-cooked you like it.

I suspect you could decrease cooking time by thawing berries in advance or using fresh, though I haven’t tried.
