Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups almond butter
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt omit if your almond butter is salted
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted, refined coconut oil also works
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
- 4 ounces dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper with enough excess to hang over the sides (so you can lift out your bars later). Set aside.
- Take two tablespoons of the almond butter out of the jar and place it in a medium microwave safe bowl. Set aside.
- In another medium bowl, mix the remaining almond butter, maple syrup, coconut flour, salt, coconut oil, vanilla and almond extracts. Mix well to combine. Pour into the baking dish and use a spatula to work the mixture evenly into the pan and up into the corners. Set aside.
- To the remaining two tablespoons of almond butter, add the chocolate chips. Microwave in 15 second bursts--stirring well in between--until the chocolate is melted and everything is combined. Pour over the almond butter mixture in the pan and spread the chocolate evenly. Cover and refrigerate at least two hours or freeze to make them even easier to cut.
- To serve, lift the bars from the pan with the parchment paper. Cut squares with a sharp knife. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
