Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Bars
These Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Bars are rich, fudgy and make the perfect sweet treat with just a few simple ingredients and zero baking required!
Servings: 16 bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup almond butter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 Tbsp ground flaxseed meal
- 1/3 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp vanilla
- Pinch of sea salt
Topping
- 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips I used Lily's
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- Flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Line an 8x8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
- To make the almond butter layer, in a medium bowl mix together almond butter, almond flour, flaxseed meal, maple syrup, vanilla and a pinch of salt until all combined. Spread the almond butter mixture in in the pan, pressing down with the back of a spoon, or your hand, so that you get a nice even layer.
- In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil in 15-20 second intervals until melted and spread in an even layer over top of the almond butter mixture using a spatula.
- Cover and place the bars in the fridge for at least 2-3 hours (or overnight) until the chocolate has hardened and bars are set. When ready to serve, let the bars sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes before slicing to avoid cracking the chocolate. Store bars in the fridge or freezer and enjoy!
Notes
*These bars will last in the fridge in a sealed airtight container for up to two weeks and you can freeze them for up to 3 months
