  • Total Time: 2 hours 15 minutes
  • Yield: 12 bars

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup almond flour (or gluten-free oat flour)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup natural almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
  • Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or fruit

Instructions

  1. Combine almond flour, sea salt, and coconut sugar in a mixing bowl and stir well.
  2. Add almond or peanut butter and vanilla extract; mix until the mixture becomes crumbly but holds together. Add a splash of plant-based milk if needed.
  3. Line a baking dish with parchment paper. Press the cookie dough mixture firmly into an even layer to form the base.
  4. Melt dairy-free chocolate chips using a double boiler or microwave. Pour over the cookie dough base and spread evenly with a spatula.
  5. Sprinkle optional toppings like nuts or shredded coconut on top before the chocolate sets.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours until the chocolate is firm and bars are set. Use a rapid-chill technique if desired.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For longer storage, wrap individual bars and freeze for up to a month.
  • Chill before serving for the best texture and flavor.
