Whisk up incredibly smooth and soft Healthy Almond Butter Cookie Bars! Creamy almond butter and maple syrup combine for a naturally sweet, wholesome bite.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup creamy almond butter
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla powder
  • 1 cup oat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking dish with parchment paper, allowing some overhang on the sides to easily lift the bars out later.
  2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla powder. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Step 3: Add the oat flour, baking soda, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix the dough.
  4. Step 4: Gently fold in the dark chocolate chips, if you are using them, distributing them evenly throughout the dough.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the dough to the prepared baking dish and press it down firmly and evenly into the bottom of the pan to form a compact layer.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with moist crumbs. Allow the bars to cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting them out and cutting into squares.

Notes

  • Keep your yummy bars fresh in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or pop them in the fridge for an extra week of chewy goodness.
  • If you're craving that fresh-baked warmth, a quick 10-15 second microwave session or a brief oven warm-up will bring back their tender perfection.
  • These versatile bars are fantastic as a wholesome snack, a post-workout pick-me-up, or leveled up with a scoop of dairy-free vanilla ice cream for a delightful dessert.
  • When combining the dry and wet ingredients, remember to stir just until combined; overmixing the dough can lead to tougher bars, and we want maximum tenderness!
