These Chocolate Almond Bars are nothing short of amazing – and fairly easy to make, too! I have chosen to make them in a fairly large pan because they freeze well. Make the big batch once and enjoy for weeks to come, I say. Or, in my house, maybe for a few days :). These are a great addition to any holiday gathering or, really, any excuse would work. You’ll love them so much, you may just bust them out for any-old occasion. Enjoy!
Chocolate Almond Bars
- Yield: 40 Bars 1x
- Category: Dessert
- Cuisine: American
Ingredients
Scale
Base Layer
- 3/4 Cup Coconut or Date Sugar
- 2/3 Cup Coconut Oil, preferably solid
- 2 Cups Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/4 Cup Flax Meal
Middle Layer
- 4 Eggs
- 1 Cup Honey
- 1/4 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 2 tsp Baking Powder
- 2 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Salt
- 2 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 2/3 Cups Chocolate Chips, Vegan and Refined Sugar-Free
Topping
- 2/3 Cup Chocolate Chips, Vegan and Refined Sugar-Free
- 1 TB Coconut Oil, melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Line a 10×15-inch pan with parchment (this will fit in a smaller pan like 9×12 or 10×13 but you may need to increase baking times and bars will be taller)
- Mix coconut sugar and coconut oil in a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Once well combined, add in almond flour and flax meal. Pour into prepared pan and evenly press down. Bake 10-15 minutes or until it starts to brown around the edges. Remove from oven and set aside.
- While first layer is baking, beat eggs in mixer and add honey through coconut, combining well. Mix in chocolate chips and pour on top of base layer. Return to over for 20-30 more minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool.
- Once bars have cooled, melt chocolate chips and oil in the microwave for 30 second-increments, until well-combined when stirred. Drizzle over bars and cut and remove from pan. Can be refrigerated for a week and frozen for months!
