Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (224g) almond butter
- 1/4 cup (48g) granular sweetener or sugar (Monk fruit sweetener)
- 1/4 cup (48g) brown sugar sweetener (Monk Fruit golden classic)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tsp (10 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (80g) old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup (64g) oat flour
- 1 tsp (5 ml) baking soda
- 1/4 tsp (1 ml) salt
- 1/4 cup (60g) dairy-free chocolate chips (divided)
Instructions
- Heat your oven to 350°F and prepare an 8×8” baking dish by lining it with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the almond butter, both sweeteners, eggs, and vanilla extract, whisking them together thoroughly.
- Incorporate the rolled oats, oat flour, baking soda, and salt into the wet mixture using a spatula or spoon until everything is well mixed. Gently fold in half of the chocolate chips.
- Pour the batter into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly. Scatter the remaining chocolate chips over the top.
- Place in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are lightly browned. The center may appear slightly undercooked when removed but will firm up as it cools, keeping it soft and gooey.
- Allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing into bars and serving. Enjoy!
Notes
- Consider using a different variety of almond butter for enhanced flavor, such as roasted or flavored options.
- Try using stevia or erythritol as sweeteners for a healthier alternative to sugar.
- Get creative with add-ins like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or spices to customize the bars to your liking.
