Recipe & Photos by Daniela Modesto

These no-bake almond butter bars with salted chocolate are an indulgent treat that require just seven ingredients. They’re sweet, salty, creamy and you won’t be able to eat just one.

Prep time: 5 minutes

Additional time: 4 hours

Total time: 4 hours, 5 minutes

Yield: 16 servings

Ingredients

• • 1 ¼ cup runny almond butter

• • 1 cup dark chocolate chips

• • ¼ cup coconut flour

• • ¼ cup maple syrup

• • 1 tsp vanilla extract

• • ½ tsp cinnamon

• • ¼ tsp sea salt or Himalayan pink salt

Instructions

1. 1. Line baking tin with parchment paper.

1. 1. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup almond butter, coconut flour, maple syrup, vanilla extract, cinnamon and a pinch of salt. Stir until well incorporated.

1. 1. Add mixture to parchment paper-lined tin and even out with spatula and/or hand until you have an even layer.

1. 1. Next, you can create a water bath (see tip) for your chocolate chips or simply take the lazy route (like I do) and pour the chocolate chips into a medium bowl and microwave for 1 minute.

1. 1. Remove and stir until chips are melted. Add ¼ cup almond butter and stir until combined. Pour chocolate mixture over almond butter base and even out. Sprinkle with as much salt as you’d like.

1. 1. Put the bars in the refrigerator for at least four hours and then cut them to the desired size. Store the rest in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Tip: For the water bath, add one cup water to a medium pan, bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer, add bowl with chocolate chips and stir continuously until completely melted.
