Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (56g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) protein powder (plain or vanilla)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup (180g) mini chocolate chips, divided

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup (65g) Organic SunButter
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk as needed
  • 2 tsps coconut oil


Instructions

  1. Combine Dry and Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, protein powder, Organic SunButter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until evenly combined.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the mixture feels too thick or dry, add 1 or 2 tablespoons of almond milk until a soft dough consistency is achieved.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of the mini chocolate chips into the dough mixture to evenly distribute them.
  4. Spread the Dough: Press the cookie dough mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it out into a thin, even layer.
  5. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a small saucepan or microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
  6. Top with Chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer, spreading it almost to the edges to create the bark’s top layer.
  7. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the bark for at least 4 hours to allow it to set firmly.
  8. Break into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into approximately 12 even pieces, though you can make them smaller if preferred.
  9. Storage: Store the bark pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
