Ingredients
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 egg
- 2 ¼ cups almond flour
- ⅓ cup all natural creamy almond butter
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅔ cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with parchment paper.
- Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Then, set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar and egg. Whisk together to combine.
- Then, sift in the almond flour. Stir together. The batter will be very thick.
- Add in the almond butter, baking soda, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir together.
- Fold in the dark chocolate chips.
- Transfer the dough to the lined pan. Smooth out into an even layer.
- Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.
- Lastly, remove from the oven. Wait until mostly cooled before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor. Unrefined coconut oil has a slight coconut flavor.
- If needed, replace the coconut oil with light flavored olive oil or avocado oil.
- Use all natural creamy almond butter or cashew butter.
- Use finely blanched almond flour. Do not use almond meal.
- These bars bake quickly. They will be fudgy after 15 minutes and more cooked through around 18 minutes.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days at room temperature.
- If needed, freeze for 1 month.
