Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Make the Cookie Dough: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined, then gently fold in the chocolate chips to distribute them throughout the dough.
  2. Flatten the Dough: Line a cutting board or large plate with parchment paper. Transfer the cookie dough onto the parchment paper and use a silicone spatula or clean hands to firmly press and flatten the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set it aside.
  3. Prepare the Chocolate Topping: In a small bowl, add chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  4. Assemble the Bark: Pour and evenly spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough. Sprinkle flaky sea salt on top if desired for a subtle salty crunch.
  5. Set and Serve: Place the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden. After chilling, chop the bark into large chunks and enjoy your healthy vegan, gluten-free treat!

Notes

  • For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour and cashew butter with sunflower seed flour and seed butter.
  • Ensure the coconut oil is melted but not hot when mixing with chocolate chips to avoid seizing.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe fully vegan.
  • If your maple syrup is very runny, chill the dough briefly before shaping to make handling easier.
