Yield: 10 servings

Ingredients:

1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon sea salt

Directions:
1. Line a 9 by 5 inch loaf pan with press & seal and grease the pan with coconut oil.

6. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
7. Place a piece of parchment paper or wax paper atop the bar mixture and use it to spread and flatten the mixture evenly in the pan; leave the wax paper to cover.
