Ingredients
2 cups
almond flour
2 teaspoons
coconut flour
4 tablespoons
coconut sugar
1/2 teaspoon
salt
1/2 teaspoon
baking soda
4 tablespoons
reduced sugar maple syrup
1/2 cup
melted coconut oil
1/4 cup
unsweetened almond milk
3 ounces
dark chocolate
2 tablespoons
unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup
fresh berries
Directions
- Preheat oven 350 degrees F and line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, salt and baking soda. I combined mine with a fork to breakup any clumps of flour.
- Add the maple syrup and coconut oil to the flour mixture. It will be sticky, somewhat runny mixture.
- Place the mixture in the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly throughout the pan with your hand. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely about 1 hour.
- To a small saucepan, add almond milk and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add cocoa powder and chocolate and reduce to medium-low. Stir continuously for 10-12 minutes until a thick chocolatey mixture appears. The chocolate should be a little runny like a glaze. If it is too runny, add a little extra cocoa powder to thicken.
- Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, spreading evenly throughout with a baking spatula.
- Arrange berries on the top of the chocolate, pressing slightly into the chocolate.
- Place the bars in the freezer 2-3 hours until set. Then cut into 16 bars.
- Store bars in the freezer until gone. They will go quickly!
