Almond Butter Cookie Bars

Servings: 12 bars

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup almond butter*
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown rice syrup
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon almond extract can also use vanilla
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3/4 cup rolled oats quick or old fashioned, ground into a flour
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F and prepare and 8 x 8-inch baking dish by lining it with parchment paper. Leave a few inches of overhang on the sides to allow for easy removal. Set aside.
  • In a microwave safe bowl, add the almond butter and coconut oil then heat on high for about 1-minute, or until both ingredients have melted. You could also heat them on the stovetop in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the coconut sugar, brown rice syrup, milk and almond extract. Stir to combine then set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, oat flour, baking powder and salt. Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix until well combined. Fold in the chocolate chips last.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, making sure it's distributed evenly and pressed down firmly. Bake for about 15 minutes, until the center is set and the edges turn golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Use a sharp knife to cut them into bars. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.

Notes

*results may vary depending on what type of almond butter you use. If you use the almond butter that has oil added to it you can try reducing the coconut oil to 1 tablespoon instead of 2.
