Ingredients

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup coconut flour
• 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup vanilla protein powder (paleo-friendly)
• 1 cup almond butter
• 1/2 cup maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup sliced almonds
• 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao or higher, paleo-friendly)

Directions

Step 1

Line an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang to lift the bars out later.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, cocoa powder, and protein powder, and mix thoroughly.

Step 3

In a separate microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and coconut oil. Microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute until melted, then stir well to combine.

Step 4

Add the melted almond butter mixture, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients. Mix until fully incorporated. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.

Step 5

Fold in the sliced almonds until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly into an even layer in the dish.

Step 7

Sprinkle the dark chocolate chips evenly over the top and gently press them into the surface of the bars.

Step 8

Place the baking dish in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.

Step 9

Once set, lift the bars out of the dish using the parchment paper overhang. Place on a cutting board and cut into 12 bars.

Step 10

Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
