Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 2 tablespoons chia or flax seeds
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt

Wet Ingredients

  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ½ cup nut butter (such as almond, peanut, or sunflower seed butter)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Combine Dry Ingredients: Start by mixing the almond flour, chia or flax seeds, and sea salt in a large bowl until they are well combined, forming the base of your cookie dough bark.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, nut butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Then fold this wet mixture into the dry ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Stir in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold the dark chocolate chips into the cookie dough mixture, ensuring they are evenly dispersed to give every bite a delightful chocolate flavor.
  4. Spread and Set: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the mixture evenly over it. Press down lightly to shape and secure the bark.
  5. Chill to Harden: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least one hour to allow the bark to firm up. Once set, break into pieces and enjoy.

Notes

  • Measure precisely to maintain perfect texture; too much liquid can make the bark sticky.
  • Use room temperature nut butter for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
  • Chill the bark for 15 minutes before cutting to create cleaner breaks.
  • Try mini chocolate chips or cacao nibs for different textures.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container to prevent moisture absorption and texture changes.
