Ingredients
  

1 cup almond butter (natural, unsweetened)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or honey

1/2 cup coconut flour

1/4 cup dark cocoa powder (unsweetened)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

Optional toppings: crushed nuts, flaked coconut, or sea salt

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Dish: Line an 8x8 inch square baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang for easy removal later.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup (or honey), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

      Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the coconut flour, cocoa powder, and sea salt to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until well incorporated. The dough should be thick but not crumbly.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly, creating an even layer.

            Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed nuts, flaked coconut, or a pinch of sea salt on top for added texture and flavor.

              Freeze: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or a lid, and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or until solid.

                Cut into Squares: Once frozen, lift the mixture out of the dish using the parchment overhang. Place it on a cutting board and cut it into squares or bars.

                  Store: Store the squares in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Enjoy them straight from the freezer for a refreshing snack or treat!
