Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until you get an even, cohesive dough. Then fold in the chocolate chips evenly throughout the mixture.
  2. Shape the Bark Base: Place parchment paper on a cutting board or large plate. Transfer the cookie dough onto the parchment. Using a silicone spatula or your clean hands, firmly press the dough to flatten it to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside this base for the topping.
  3. Melt the Chocolate Topping: In a small bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble and Chill: Pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the cookie dough base. Optionally, sprinkle flaky sea salt over the chocolate layer for added flavor complexity. Place the bark in the freezer for about 10 minutes to allow it to set firmly.
  5. Serve: Once set, remove from the freezer and chop the bark into large chunks. Enjoy immediately or store properly for later consumption.

Notes

  • Storage: Keep the bark in a sealed container in the refrigerator for 5-7 days.
  • For long-term storage, freeze the bark for up to 3 months. Thaw before serving.
  • You can substitute almond flour, cashew butter, and maple syrup with alternatives to suit your dietary preferences.
