Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Blanched almond flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Erythritol sweetener
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened almond butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate (85% cocoa or higher)
- 0.5 cup Chopped almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal of the bars after baking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, shredded coconut, and erythritol sweetener. Mix well to combine.
In a small microwave-safe dish, melt the butter in the microwave. Once melted, add the unsweetened almond butter, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Stir until smooth and fully combined.
Pour the butter and almond butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Add the salt and stir until everything is well mixed and a dough forms.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan. Press it evenly into the pan with your hands or the back of a spoon to ensure it is packed tightly.
Sprinkle the chopped almonds evenly over the top of the dough, pressing them gently into the surface.
Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
While the bars are baking, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler (or microwave in short bursts) until smooth.
Remove the baked almond bars from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes.
Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the cooling bars using a spoon or a piping bag for more control.
Let the bars cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate topping is set.
Once the bars are completely cooled and the chocolate is set, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the pan. Cut into 12 bars and serve.
