Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup rolled oats
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup melted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1/4 cup M&Ms (optional)
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/4 tsp espresso powder (optional, enhances chocolate flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, rolled oats, cocoa powder, and sea salt until well combined.
- In a separate large bowl, whisk melted butter and brown sugar together until smooth and slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Add eggs one at a time, whisking well after each addition until the mixture looks glossy, then stir in vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips and any optional mix-ins, distributing them evenly throughout the batter.
- Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until the edges are set but the center still looks slightly underdone.
- Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan for at least 30 minutes before lifting out and cutting into squares.
Notes
- For the chewiest texture, be careful not to overbake these bars.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Add a slice of bread to your storage container to help keep the bars soft and prevent them from drying out.
