Instructions
 

For the Bars:

  • Fold in the white chocolate chips and craisins.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, until the edges are golden brown but the center is still soft to the touch.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool completely.

For the Frosting:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the dairy-free cream cheese (or coconut milk) and maple syrup until well combined.
  • Add the softened coconut butter and orange zest, stirring until smooth and creamy.
  • Stir in the chopped craisins.
