Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 2.5 cup blanched almond flour
  • 0.75 cup creamy natural peanut butter stirred and room temperature
  • 0.5 cup pure maple syrup
  • 0.25 cup coconut oil, melted cooled slightly
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 tsp fine sea salt
  • 0.75 cup dairy-free mini chocolate chips for mixing into dough
  • 1.25 cup dairy-free chocolate chips for topping
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil for melting with topping chocolate
  • 0.25 tsp flaky sea salt for garnish, optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Line an 8 x 8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt until smooth and glossy.
  • Add almond flour and stir with a spatula until a soft, cookie-dough–like mixture forms with no dry spots.
  • Fold in the mini dairy-free chocolate chips.
  • Press the dough evenly into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  • For the topping, melt the chocolate chips with 1 tbsp coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Pour the melted chocolate over the dough and spread into an even layer. Tap the pan gently to release air bubbles.
  • Chill until set, about 30 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with flaky sea salt, slice into 16 bars, and serve.
  • Store bars covered in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

For nut-free bars, swap peanut butter with sunflower seed butter and almond flour with fine oat flour; adjust sweetness if needed. If your peanut butter is very thick, add 1 to 2 tsp warm water to loosen before mixing.
