Ingredients

Scale

  • 1/2 cup almond flour (or finely ground oats)
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 2 Tbsp natural peanut butter
  • 1 Tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 Tbsp mini chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Mix oats, almond flour, and salt in a bowl. Add peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until combined, then press firmly into the pan.
  3. In a small saucepan, melt peanut butter, maple syrup, coconut oil, vanilla, and salt over low heat. Stir until smooth, then pour over the base layer. Chill for 20 minutes.
  4. Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil (microwave or double boiler). Pour over the chilled middle layer and spread evenly. Sprinkle mini chocolate chips on top if using.
  5. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until firm. Lift out, slice into bars, and serve.

Notes

  • Store in the fridge for best texture.
  • Substitute almond butter for peanut butter if preferred.
  • Use honey instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness.
