Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup almond flour or coconut flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (dark or semi-sweet)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup almond butter or peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cookie Dough Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, almond flour (or coconut flour), and a pinch of sea salt. Add the nut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract, then mix thoroughly until a thick, workable dough forms.
  2. Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them evenly throughout the dough, ensuring each bite has melty chocolate goodness.
  3. Spread the Dough on a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Press the dough evenly onto the sheet, about half an inch thick, forming a large bark slab.
  4. Chill Until Firm: Place the bark in the refrigerator for at least one hour to set. This chilling step allows the flavors to meld and the texture to become firm and perfect for breaking.
  5. Break into Pieces and Serve: Once firm, break the bark into rustic pieces using your hands or a knife. Serve immediately or store for later snacking.

Notes

  • Use natural, smooth nut butters without added sugars or oils for the best flavor and texture.
  • Do not skip the chilling step to ensure the bark firms up properly and is easy to handle.
  • Press the dough evenly on the baking sheet for consistent thickness and easy breaking.
  • Add extra texture by mixing in seeds or shredded coconut if desired.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually, starting with less sweetener and adding more to taste.
