Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup almond flour finely ground
  • 1/2 cup vanilla protein powder high-quality brand
  • 1/4 cup almond butter all-natural, no added sugars
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup pure grade A
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract pure, not imitation
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt fine

Equipment

  • 8x8 inch baking dish
  • Parchment paper
  • 2 mixing bowls

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together almond flour, vanilla protein powder, and sea salt until no lumps remain.
  2. In a separate bowl, stir almond butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until completely smooth and well combined.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix thoroughly until a cohesive dough forms.
  4. Fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  5. Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal. Press the dough evenly into the dish.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until completely firm.
  7. Using the parchment overhang, lift the bars from the dish and cut into 8 equal pieces with a sharp knife.

Notes

Store in refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. Let sit at room temperature for 2-3 minutes before serving for best texture.
