Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line an 8-inch by 8-inch pan with parchment paper.

Melt the coconut oil in the microwave. Then, set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, add the coconut sugar and egg. Whisk together to combine.

Then, sift in the almond flour. Stir together. The batter will be very thick.

Add in the almond butter, baking soda, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil. Stir together.

Fold in the dark chocolate chips.

Transfer the dough to the lined pan. Smooth out into an even layer.

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out mostly clean.

Lastly, remove from the oven. Wait until mostly cooled before slicing and serving.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Room Temperature Ingredients 🌡️
Bring eggs, almond butter, and coconut oil to room temperature before mixing to ensure a smooth, evenly combined batter that prevents lumps and creates a uniform texture throughout the bars.
Chocolate Chip Distribution Trick 🍫
Toss dark chocolate chips in a tablespoon of almond flour before folding them into the batter—this prevents them from sinking to the bottom and ensures even distribution in every bite.
Coconut Sugar vs. Maple Syrup Balance ⚖️
Use the maple syrup primarily for moisture and binding, while coconut sugar adds structure; this ratio prevents overly dense or cake-like bars and maintains that signature fudgy texture.
Cool Completely Before Cutting ❄️
Allow bars to cool in the pan for at least 2 hours (preferably refrigerate overnight) before cutting—this prevents crumbling and creates clean, professional-looking portions with a perfect chewy center.
Parchment Paper Lining Hack 📄
Line your baking pan with parchment paper with overhang on two sides, allowing you to lift the entire batch out and cut cleanly; this also ensures even baking by preventing browning on the pan edges.
