Servings: 9
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- Pinch fine sea salt
- 3 tablespoons butter softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
- Coarse sea salt for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350ºF and prepare an 8″ baking dish by greasing it and lining it with a parchment paper sling.
- To a large bowl, add in the almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, baking soda, sugar, and salt and combine until it comes all together.
- Add in softened butter, egg, vanilla extract. Mix until combined.
- Fold in the chocolate chips and place better into the prepared pan. The batter will be fairly thick. Using a spatula press the batter down evenly into the pan and smooth over the top (alternatively, simply wet hands lightly and gently pat the top to smooth it out). Add more chocolate chips, if desired, to the top of the batter.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, 20 minutes for more underbaked-style.
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Remove the bars gently from the pan with your parchment sling, and let cool on a rack.
- Sprinkle with coarse sea salt, if desired, then cut into 9 portions and enjoy.
Notes
Can sub coconut oil for the butter.
Works with maple sugar or coconut sugar.
