Crust:
Vegetable cooking spray
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup quick oatmeal (not instant)
1/2 cup Whey Low granular, Maltitol crystals, or Splenda Granular
1 tablespoon sugar-free maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
Dash cinnamon
1/2 cup butter, melted
Preaheat oven to 325 degrees. Spray a 9-inch baking pan with vegetable cooking spray and set aside.
Stir together almond flour, flour, oatmeal, Nature Sweet crystals or Splenda, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Add melted butter and mix until crumbly. Reserve 1/2 cup for the topping. Pat remainder into the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until starting to become golden on the edges.
Filling:
2/3 cup Cinnamon Bliss OR Gold Caramel Sauce – recipe link above
2/3 cup chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds
Bring sauce and nuts to boil and, stirring constantly, boil for 2 minutes. Pour over baked crust. (If using Gold Caramel Sauce, just heat through. If it's boiled it will become very chewy, like actual CARAMELS!)
Topping:
4 ounces sugar free Dark or Milk chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup reserved crumbs
Sprinkle chopped chocolate over caramel layer. Sprinkle reserved crumbs over chocolate. Return to oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until caramel is bubbly on edges and top crumbs are slightly golden. Cool in pan and cut into 16 pieces. Makes 16 servings.
