Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Shortbread Base
  • 1.5 cups Almond Flour
  • 3 tbsp Butter (melted)
  • 1.5 tbsp Maple Syrup
  • 0.5 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 tsp Salt
Peanut Butter Layer
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Butter
  • 0.33 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 0.25 cup Almond Flour
Chocolate Coating
  • 1 cup Chocolate Chips
  • 1.5 tbsp Coconut Oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, mix 1 1/2 cups almond flour, 3 tbsp melted butter, 1 1/2 tbsp maple syrup, 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp salt until it forms a dough.
  3. Press the mixture into the baking pan and bake for 10-12 minutes until golden brown. Let it cool!
  4. In another bowl, mix 1 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup almond flour until smooth.
  5. Spread this creamy mix over the cooled shortbread and freeze for at least 1 hour.
Chocolate Coating
  1. Melt 1 cup chocolate chips and 1 1/2 tbsp coconut oil together.
  2. Dip each bar into the melted chocolate, tapping off the excess. Place them on a parchment-lined tray and optionally drizzle with more chocolate.
  3. Freeze for about 10 minutes until the chocolate hardens. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.

Notes

Chill time is key for layering to hold together well. Adjust sweetness with more or less maple syrup as preferred. Substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower butter if desired.
