Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Chopped mixed nuts (almonds, walnuts, pecans)
- 0.75 cup Dark chocolate chips (gluten-free)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing the paper to hang over the edges for easy removal after baking.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Then combine the beaten eggs with the coconut oil mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chopped mixed nuts and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the prepared batter into the lined baking dish, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack. Once cool, use the parchment paper to lift the bars out of the pan and onto a cutting board.
Cut into 16 equal squares and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
