Make this recipe dairy-free:

1. Substitute coconut oil for the butter in the vanilla wafer crust.
2. Use canned condensed coconut milk instead of regular condensed milk.
3. Substitute So Delicious Chocolate Chips instead of regular chocolate chips.

Make these cookie bars nut-free:

You can definitely make this recipe nut-free, though you will end up with 6 layer bars :-). To make this 7 layer bar recipe nut-free, leave out the almond flour from the crust...making sure to use 1 tablespoon less melted butter.

Don't forget to skip the pecan layer too!

Instructions:

These bars are really easy to make...you are basically adding all of the ingredients in "layers" that all bake together.

To make these gluten free 7 layer bars a little different, I used gluten free vanilla wafers. Several companies make these, I used the ones by Kinnikinnick. I smashed these cookies with almond flour (to add some protein to balance out the sugars.)

How do you smash up the cookies for a crust?

My favorite way to crush cookies to make a crust is to put them into a bag and use a rolling pin to roll/hit crush them into bits. You can also use a food processor to make the cookie crumbs.

Take the smooshed gluten free cookie crust crumb almond flour mix and add melted butter. (If you are making your cookie dough 7 layer bars dairy-free, make sure you use coconut oil instead of the butter.)

Mix them so that you get a slightly damp feel.

Spray an 8x8 baking dish with coconut oil. Press the crust layer into the baking dish. I used my hand to then compress the layer so that it is packed tightly.

Gluten free crust options:

If you don't want to use the gluten free vanilla wafers, you can use gluten free graham crackers or even smashed up gluten free sandwich cookies.

Add chocolate chips on top of the crust layer. You can use regular or dairy-free chocolate chips...bittersweet, milk chocolate, or even white chocolate (or get adventurous and use butterscotch!)

Add your favorite chopped nuts. I used pecans, but you can use walnuts or any nut!

Add 1/2 of the shredded coconut. Spread evenly over the chocolate chips and chopped nuts. Next, pour the condensed milk on top of the coconut layer. Top the condensed milk with the remaining shredded coconut.

Do you use sweetened or unsweetened shredded coconut?

This cookie bar recipe is so sweet, you will definitely want to use unsweetened shredded coconut!

Don't forget, if you are making this recipe dairy-free, use canned coconut condensed milk instead of regular. Now it is time to make the gluten free cookie dough!

Bake the bars in an 8x8 baking dish for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.

Remove from the oven and drop chunks of the gluten free cookie dough on top. Bake an additional 8-10 minutes. Remove and set the pan on a cooling rack to cool.

Tip: The edible cookie dough can dry out if you bake it too long so make sure to add it at the end of baking as I describe.

Tools You Need to Make This Recipe:

1. An 8x8 pan. Non-stick is easiest for clean up!
2. Almond flour helps add protein into this recipe to balance out some of the sugar.
