Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (56g) almond flour
- 1/2 cup (60g) protein powder (plain or vanilla)
- pinch of salt
- 1 cup (180g) mini chocolate chips (divided)
Wet Ingredients
- 1/4 cup (65g) Organic SunButter
- 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1-2 tbsp almond milk as needed
- 2 tsps coconut oil
Instructions
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, SunButter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture until everything is well incorporated.
- Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too thick or dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of almond milk to achieve a soft, pliable dough consistency suitable for spreading.
- Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture evenly.
- Shape the Dough Layer: Press the cookie dough mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a thin layer, roughly rectangular or square, depending on preference.
- Melt Remaining Chocolate Chips: In a small pan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips together with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
- Top the Dough with Melted Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the cookie dough layer and use a spatula to spread it out almost to the edges for an even chocolate topping.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for at least 4 hours to allow the bark to firm up completely.
- Cut and Store: After chilling, break the bark into approximately 12 even-sized pieces. Store the pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
