Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut flour, arrowroot starch, baking soda, and sea salt. Set aside.
In a separate large bowl, beat the eggs with a hand mixer until smooth. Add in the coconut milk and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined.
Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Fold in the coconut sugar, almond butter, melted coconut oil, chopped pecans, and chopped dates. Mix well to create a dough-like consistency.
Transfer the batter to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool in the baking dish for 10 minutes before lifting out using the parchment paper.
Once cooled, cut into squares and serve. Enjoy your paleo caramel rice cakes!
