Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to ensure there are no lumps.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, melted coconut oil, honey, and vanilla extract until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring continuously until a dough forms.

Step 5

Fold in the dark chocolate chips and sliced almonds, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.

Step 6

Scoop the dough onto the prepared baking sheet, forming it into a rough rectangular shape about 1/2 inch thick. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let it cool on the baking sheet for about 10 minutes.

Step 9

Gently transfer the pastry to a wire rack to cool completely before cutting.

Step 10

Once cooled, cut the pastry into bars or squares and serve.

Step 11

Optional: Drizzle with a mixture of almond milk and a bit of melted chocolate for added decoration and flavor.
