These Saffron Pistachio Caramel Bars are inspired by the the trinity of Persian flavors - made with a cardamom spiced oaty base and a smooth saffron caramel made with rose water and studded with pistachios.
This recipe is inspired by New Zealand's Ginger Crunch Slice. Typically made with plenty of sugar, butter, and flour - I've swapped those things to make a healthier, plant-based, and gluten-free take on these bars, with a chewy oaty base made with chickpea flour and a creamy caramel spiked with ginger.
