Before I get talking about these bars, let’s talk about food freedom real quick. While I am blessed to not have any food allergies, I know that a lot of you guys do. Whether it be to gluten, dairy, tree nuts, peanuts, eggs, soy, etc., it can be a pain to find recipes that you can enjoy.
We’ve partnered with the trusted brand, Enjoy Life Foods to shed light at the end of the tunnel for those of you with food allergies. Not only are their products allergy-free, but they are made with real ingredients and free of artificial preservatives so you can feel good about eating them. Their vanilla honey graham crunchy cookies were used in this recipe to help make it allergy-free friendly!
Ok, now onto the recipe starting from the bottom up. The crust is made by blending up Enjoy Life’s vanilla honey graham crunchy cookies and mixing it with a little bit of coconut oil.
Next up, the middle layer. Who likes banana ice cream? Isn’t it the easiest, most amazing allergy-free alternative to ice cream that you could ever dream of? That’s all this layer is comprised of.
Last but not least, the cream layer. Whipped coconut cream (or any allergy-free whipped topping) is mixed with vanilla extract, a little maple syrup and topped with banana slices and more crunchy cookies. Yassssss. So simple, so few ingredients, they make you want to scream for ice cream (bars).
