Vegan Date Caramel Slice

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Easy oat cookie crust, healthy date caramel filling, silky chocolate ganache on top–this Date Caramel Slice is 3 layers of sweet vegan decadence!

Vegan Date Caramel Slice

I almost posted a healthy non-chocolate recipe today, but with just a little over a week until Valentine’s Day I think a marathon of all chocolate things all week long is in order.

When I said “healthy” I meant cake. The almost recipe of today was cake. But Valentine’s Day is one holiday where a full-size cake really isn’t the appropriate way to celebrate, although cake is not out of the question entirely…

Pretty pink-fluff frosted cupcakes? Sure!

Snazzy shimmering cake pops? Absolutely!

A cup of chocolate cake brimming with berries? Very V-Day approved! 

Small, sweet, and shareable–those are the kinds of treats that are perfect for Valentine’s.

An entire cake would just be weird. Now an entire cake blanketed in conversation hearts…nope, still weird. Possibly weirder.

Vegan Date Caramel Slice

There is nothing pink or heart-shaped about this recipe. But if you think about it, the combination of caramel and chocolate has been at the core of Valentine’s Day, filling red cardboard boxes next berry and nougat and ganache-centered sweets since forever. It’s true you never really know what you are going to get when you bite into those mysterious chocolate-covered morsels (unless you consult the very confusing diagram on the back of the box), but I’d be willing to bet at least one in every box will be caramel on the inside.

Instead of concealing the caramel, this Vegan Date Caramel Slice presents three delicious layers in plain sight: crust, caramel, and chocolate ganache.

Vegan Date Caramel SliceVegan Date Caramel Slice

The crust. Traditional caramel slice recipes typically have a shortbread crust, while more alternative and raw recipes often go with a nut + date mix. I kind of combined the two, taking the sweet, simple, crumbly-not-chewy texture of shortbread and the nubbly-ness of a nut-based crust. But naturally-sweetened and oat-based of course!

For texture, steel cut oats are the perfect chunky, chopped-nut-like choice. You could swap in actual chopped nuts or hemp seeds here instead. For the cookie part in between, oat flour and maple syrup mix to make a mildly sweet shortbread-like crust. I highly recommend adding a pinch of salt to the crust too for flavor balance!

The caramel. Keeping with the simple theme of this recipe, the caramel layer is only 3 ingredients. First is date paste, because it is already practically caramel all by itself. Then a little bit of cashew butter (or almond butter would work too, but I find the flavor to be much stronger) to thicken the filling and help it set into a slice-able consistency. And finally vanilla bean powder, because what’s caramel without a touch of sweet vanilla!

Just melt the cashew butter, mix it all up, and spread over the cookie crust.

The chocolate. Plain melted chocolate would work for the final layer, but it tends to shatter instead of neatly slicing. Adding just a few tablespoons of non-dairy milk to the chocolate chips before melting turns them into a chocolate ganache with more silkiness and much better slice-ability. And a final sprinkling of coarse salt on top is the perfect finishing touch.

Vegan Date Caramel Slice

Now you are just an overnight freezer stay away from a delightful date caramel sandwich! (Where the crust and the chocolate are like the bread…and the caramel is the…well you get the picture. I hope.)

  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 3/4 cup steel cut oats (or chopped nuts, hemp seeds, rolled oats)
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • Pinch of salt

Date Caramel Layer

  • 1 cup date paste
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla bean powder (or 1 tsp vanilla extract)

Chocolate Layer

  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 3 tbsp non-dairy milk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350F.
  2. Combine all the crust ingredients in a mixing bowl and stir to combine. It should be a sticky, clumpy dough.

    Thanks for the shout out, Natalie! Although I have to say if given the choice between one of these slices of heaven (see what I did there?! I’m so lame.) and one of my cupcakes, it would be WAY too hard of a choice. Guess I’ll just go with both! Because ya know, like you said, the days leading up to Valentine’s Day warrant/excuse all things chocolate, all the time. I kind of died at your idea of adding cashew butter to the date paste, to keep it caramel-y sweet but make it sliceable – that’s sometimes an issue if the date paste is a little too thin, so I seriously love that idea!! A sandwich with this heavenly crust and chocolate as the bread and a creamy caramel center…sounds like the best sandwich I’ve ever heard of in my LIFE. Putting savory sandwiches to shame!!

      Hmmm I actually think I would go cupcake given that very difficult chocolate choice. I can’t resist fluffy frosting, it’s a weakness of mine. Hehe “slice of heaven” could not be more apropos here 😀 Omg the first time around I used just date paste and it all smushed out the sides the moment I sliced in–a delicious disaster! But the cashew butter is perfect, and I’m not mad about the extra buttery flavor either. Sweet sandwiches–do those still count as an acceptable lunch food? 😉 Thanks Sara?

    Okay lady, I’ve seen a lot of these caramel slices on IG and I have to say these are the BEST ones EVERRRR. First of all, they are simple and second of all you used cashew butter in them…hello, that is one of my favorite ingredients to use in desserts and I always have it on hand. I can only imagine how dangerous these would be for both me and Olivia! Ha! I love that you used steel cut oats in the base….that is a great idea because I bet it gives that extra crunch factor. I have an unopened bag of steel cut oats in my pantry that I’ve yet to use, I can totally see using them for these now! I bet peanut butter would be delicious in the center too to give that peanut butter cup flavor. Mmmmm, that sounds so good. These have everything…crunchy, sweet, smooth and creamy. Yup, sounds like the perfect Valentine’s Day treat! Loving all those closeup shots of the deliciousness screaming “eat me”!!

      I know right, there have to be about 10,000 different caramel slice recipes out there by now I think that’s why I put off adding another to the world for so long. But it’s such a good dessert excuse to use TONS of dates, I had to do it 😀 Omg peanut butter caramel slice–that has to be created! Although cashew butter is still my favorite, even over PB. I absolutely love it too for baking and eating, especially the raw stuff <3 I totally shot these like 2 months ago with no intention of them being for Valentines-y but all if it's chocolate it counts, right?! 🙂

    I feel like you and I must be on the same wavelength when we start creating in the kitchen . . . I made a date caramel slice a couple of weeks ago. It needs some tweaking, as the caramel was a little too soft, but it was still sooooo delicious. I’m sure yours would be too! Perfection 🙂

      Haha it sounds like we have very similar caramel-slice-crafting minds! I had the exact same problem with the first trial of this one, hence the added nut butter and freezing. This recipe has actually been neglected waiting to be finished for months, I hope you eventually get around to tweaking yours too 🙂

Your fudge brownie oats followed by these slices!

      I had the same un-used bag of steel cut oats situation happening in my pantry (two bags actually), that’s partially what made me think to use them here. Haha well I appreciate you watching even though it’s pretty obvious how to layer these 🙂 And I love this slice recipe and all, but if I only had one jar of date past it would definitely go to the brownie oats!

    I used to cut into every single piece of chocolate in those boxes in search of the caramel filled ones! So the idea of an obvious caramel-y centered treat is perfect! These layers are amazing, Natalie. Chocolate, dates, cashew butter (heaven on its own), and a simple and yummy crust. Send me some!!! I’ve never used steel cut oats before, but it’s looking like I need to grab a bag so I can make these!!

      Hahaha!! That’s actually really smart, I used to hate biting in expecting caramel or mousse and it was some sort of tart berry situation or worse yet an unidentifiable nougat-ish filling. Now I just make my own and avoid the guessing game…all caramel 🙂 Mmm yes raw cashew butter has become my favorite nut butter! And of course it has to be the most expensive one…dang my high maintenance taste buds 😀

    YES and YES on the marathon of all things chocolate. Also, can we have that all the time? Pretty please, with a chocolate bow on top, with chocolate sprinkles? 😉 Wow… now all I can think about is that cake covered in conversation hearts… And goodness, do not even get me started on those diagrams!! You never quite get the one you want. But with these, you get EVERYTHING you want. And then some. 🙂 I just need two slices–wait a minute, the ENTIRE batch of these bars to make for the most perfect Valentine’s Day. Oh, and Erik too. Lol. Your date caramel sauce is divine. Text you soon. Muah. xoxoxo

Because you are so good with the chocolatey drizzles, I’m sure a bow will be no problemo for ya! ? With all the goodies we would have at our chocolate marathon/Valentine’s party we might NEED a diagram to keep them all straight. But everything will be delicious, so even if you mis-interpret, no risk 🙂 Can’t wait to catch up!!!❤️❤️

    Hey, i have run out of chocolate chips. can i use cocoa powder and add something to make the top layer?

    Reply
    • Natalie says

      March 1, 2017 at 10:06 am

      Yes you can make the chocolate layer with a mix of cocoa powder, coconut oil, and maple syrup or another liquid sweetener. I usually do equal parts cocoa to coconut oil and then about half as much sweetener, but you can adjust to your liking. That will make for a hard chocolate top, but adding a few tablespoons of melted nut butter will make it softer and more fudgy–up to you. Hope that helps!

      Hi Abby! I got mine from my local health food store, although I have ordered it online before too. My favorite brand is Artisana, because it is raw and oil-free. Most of the others are roasted do have added oil. If you can find a good oil-free almond butter that would be fine too!

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a hand mixer, beat together prepared flax egg, nut/seed butter, coconut oil, brown sugar, molasses, and vanilla. Add flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix to form a dough. Fold in macadamia nuts, coconut flakes, and white chocolate chips. Use a spring loaded scoop to portion into large cookies (mine were about 3 tbsp each). Arrange on the baking sheet leaving 2 inches in between each cookie. Do not press/flatten. Bake for 12-13 minutes at 350°F. Cool 10 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
