Sugar Free Maple Syrup- Provides sweetness, along with holding the bars together. Almond Butter- Drippy, smooth almond butter with no added sugar. Vanilla extract- A must for anything cake related! Milk- To smooth out the batter. I used unsweetened almond milk, but any milk will do! If you follow a paleo diet, try this cream cheese substitute.
