Equipment
- Frying Pan
- Whisk
- Oven
- Wooden Spoon
- Baking Sheet
Ingredients
- 1 jar almond butter I used raw, no-salt added
- ¾ cup brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¾ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips plus about 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line an 8-by-8-inch baking pan with aluminum foil and spray it with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the almond butter and brown sugar until smooth and combined.
- Add the egg, vanilla, salt, and baking soda into the mixture and stir until combined. The dough will be thick and slightly granular.
- Fold in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, packing it with a spatula to form an even, smooth layer.
- Sprinkle the remaining chocolate chips on top of the batter.
- Bake for about 13 to 14 minutes, or until the center is set and done. Be careful not to overbake, or the bars will turn crumbly.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on a wire rack for at least 1 hour before slicing.
- Slice the cooled bars into squares and enjoy!
Notes
- Tip 1: Bars will keep airtight at room temperature for up to 1 week.
- Tip 2: Freeze for up to 6 months for longer storage.
