Paleo Almond Butter Bars

Chocolate and Sea Salt Almond Butter Bars (Paleo and Vegan)

Ingredients

For the base:

  • 1 ½ cups Natural Almond Butter from Ezra Cohen Montreal
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup almond flour
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

For the dark chocolate and sea salt topping:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
  • ¼ cup chopped almonds
  • ¼ tsp sea salt

Directions

1. Line an 8×8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a large bowl, combine almond butter, maple syrup, almond flour, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. The texture will be a little bit sticky. Press into your prepared pan and place in the freezer for 10 to 15 minutes.
3. While your base is setting, mix together chopped almonds with sea salt and set aside. Then melt your dark chocolate (you can melt the chocolate on 30-second increments in the microwave; stirring in between). When the base is ready, pour melted dark chocolate on top and use a spatula to evenly spread it out. Sprinkle the top with your chopped almond and sea salt mixture. Place in the fridge for at least two hours.
4. Cut into bars and enjoy. Bars can be kept in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
