🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Combine Dry Ingredients

In a medium-sized mixing bowl combine Almond Flour, Oatmeal Flour, Baking Powder, and Salt. Whisk lightly with a balloon whisk. Keep aside.

Step 2: Combine Wet Ingredients

In an another medium-sized mixing bowl combine Almond Butter, Flax egg, Pure Vanilla Extract, and Coconut Sugar. Use an electric mixer or a stand mixer with paddle attachment. Whisk until it becomes creamy.

Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients and Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl combine Wet Ingredients and Dry Ingredients. Whisk until combines.

Step 4: Fold Almonds and Chocolate Chips

Finally fold Chopped Almonds and Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips.

Step 5: Bake

Press it down in a parchment paper lined 8x8 baking tray. Bake for 32-33 minutes. Allow it to cool down completely and then cut it into bars and serve.

💭 Hint: The bar batter should be thick and lumpy. If it has become liquidy (it will probably not) then you can add some oatmeal flour.

📖  Substitutions

• Coconut Flour - Coconut flour absorbs a lot of moisture. So, you'll have to increase your wet ingredients accordingly.
• Keto - If you are on a keto diet, then you can replace coconut sugar with stevia or any other keto sweeteners and instead of Oatmeal Flour you can use Coconut Flour. I haven't tried the keto version so I cannot comment how it would taste.

You can check out this article for Keto Cookie Bars by Arman from Big Man's World. You'll get a good idea of how to make this recipe fit for your keto diet.

🍽  Variations

I love how certain ingredients can change the taste of these bars. Feel free to play around with the ingredients in your kitchen.

• Maple Syrup - You can replace the coconut sugar with Pure Maple Syrup.
• Ground Cinnamon - Baking without cinnamon is so not complete. So add a pinch of ground cinnamon to make it more fragrant and add a nutty taste.
• Eggs - If you are comfortable using eggs, then use eggs. Make sure they are at room temperature.
• Chia Egg - If you cannot make Flax egg for any reason you can also make chia egg.
• Peanut Butter & Peanuts - Peanut Butter and chocolate is an excellent combination. You can add peanut butter and peanuts instead of almond butter and chopped almonds.
• Cashew Butter - Cashew Butter is an excellent alternative to Almond Butter.

📦 Storage

Store these bars tightly wrapped with a plastic wrap in your refrigerator for 2-3 days. Since there are no perishable ingredients they might last even longer.

⏰ Make-Ahead

You can make these bars ahead of time. Just press it down in a baking dish and cover it tightly with a plastic wrap. Freeze this.

When ready to bake, remove the plastic wrap. Pop it into the oven for a quick 30-35 minute baking time. Cool down for an hour and serve.

💡 Key Tips

• Allow the Bars to cool down completely before cutting them into bars.
• Allowing them to set helps you cut proper shapes.
