Vegan Salted Caramel Apple Oatmeal Blondies

For the blondies: Add coconut sugar, runny almond butter, and a splash of vanilla to a bowl and mix until uniform. In a separate bowl, whisk together oat flour, sprouted oats, a pinch of baking powder, sea salt, cinnamon, and apple pie spice. Add the dry mixture on top of the wet and mix. Slowly add in the 1/2 cup of non-dairy milk until the mixture moistens up and large clumps form. Add more milk if needed! Finally, stir through the diced apple pieces and transfer the mixture into a parchment paper lined brownie tin. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes.

For the caramel spread on top: Add soft pitted dates (6-8), 1/3 cup almond butter, and 1/3 cup water to a blender and mix on high speed. You may need to add more liquid (slowly, in 1 tbsp increments) to achieve a smooth and silky texture. Once done, spread the caramel over the cooled blondies and enjoy!
