Ingredients
- 1 cup Coconut oil
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup Brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Flaxseed meal
- 3 tablespoons Water
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Dairy-free chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on each side for easy removal.
Step 2
In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for about 5 minutes until it becomes gelatinous.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the coconut oil.
Step 4
Remove from heat and add the creamy peanut butter, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the melted coconut oil. Stir until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 5
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Step 6
Pour the wet peanut butter mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Step 7
Add the flax egg and unsweetened almond milk to the dough. Stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Step 8
Gently fold in the dairy-free chocolate chips.
Step 9
Spread the dough evenly into the prepared baking pan using a spatula.
Step 10
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes or until the edges start to pull away from the sides and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out mostly clean.
Step 11
Allow the bars to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then lift them out using the parchment paper and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 12
Once cooled, cut into 16 squares and enjoy your dairy-free peanut butter bars.
