Preheat your oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and line an 8x8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, whey protein isolate, chopped almonds, flaxseed meal, erythritol, and salt. Mix until well incorporated.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the almond milk, almond butter, vanilla extract, and coconut oil. Stir continuously until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until a thick dough forms. If the mixture seems too dry, add more almond milk, one tablespoon at a time, until reaching the desired consistency.
Transfer the dough to the prepared baking pan, pressing it evenly into the pan's bottom.
Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips over the top and press them gently into the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until firm to the touch. Be careful not to overbake, as this can make the bars dry.
Remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan before placing in the refrigerator to chill for at least an hour.
Once chilled, remove from the pan using the parchment paper and cut into 10 bars.
Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
