Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix the ground salted nuts, flour, and oleo together.
- Press the mixture evenly into a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake for 10 to 15 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a variation, try using ground almonds or cashews instead of salted nuts for a different flavor profile. You can substitute the oleo with coconut oil or vegan butter for a dairy-free option. Ensure your pan is well-greased or lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Mixing the ingredients until just combined helps maintain a nice texture in the final dessert.
Serving Suggestions
Cut into squares or bars and serve as a sweet snack or dessert. These bars can be paired with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for added indulgence. They also make a great complement to a cup of coffee or tea. For a fruity twist, consider serving alongside fresh berries or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you'd like to keep them longer, refrigerate for up to a week. To reheat, place in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5-10 minutes until warmed through. This will help restore some of the original texture.
