Ingredients

1 cup almond butter - natural almond butter
2/3 cup coconut sugar - 83 grams
1/4 cup coconut flour - 28 grams
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp bicarb soda
1/2 tsp salt
2 eggs
3 tbsp coconut oil - 60 mL
4 tbsp almond milk - 80 mL
2 tsp vanilla extract
100-150 grams dark chocolate

Instructions

Preheat oven to 180 C and line a square baking dish with baking parchment. (I used an 8 inch (20cm) square glass baking dish for the bars pictured).
Roughly chop the dark chocolate into chunks. Set aside for now.
Place the all of the ingredients except for the dark chocolate into a blender (or food processor) jug. Process the ingredients until smoothly combined, scraping down the side of the jug occasionally to ensure nothing is missed. You should end up with a thick result that looks more like a sticky wet cookie dough than a runny batter.
Fold two thirds of the chocolate chunks into the batter, reserving the rest for pressing in to the top.
Scoop out the batter and smooth it into your lined baking pan/dish. I found this easiest by first pushing the batter in with a spatula, then finishing by dipping my fingertips in some extra almond milk and pressing it down for a smooth, even finish. Then, press the remaining dark chocolate chunks into the top.
Bake the bars for approximately 25 minutes, or until the top is a deep golden brown and cooked evenly across the top. There might be a few cracks in the surface.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature before slicing.

Notes

*Almond butter can vary in consistency. If you feel like your mixture is too wet, add extra coconut flour (start with just 1 teaspoon, as coconut flour is VERY absorbent). If you feel like your mixture is too dry, add an extra tablespoon of coconut oil and/or almond milk.

*You can substitute another milk e.g. coconut or rice milk for the almond milk.

*Add some dried fruit or chopped nuts to these bars too if you like! It's nice to change up the flavour and texture.
