Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1/4 cup coconut flour

1/3 cup brown sugar (you can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier alternative)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup creamy almond butter (or substitute with peanut butter for a different flavor)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey for a different sweetness)

1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

1/4 cup dark chocolate chips (optional, for drizzling on top)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Pan: Start by lining an 8x8 inch baking dish with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some overhang on the sides; this will help you lift the bars out later.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, brown sugar, and salt. Use a whisk to mix these dry ingredients thoroughly until there are no lumps.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Next, introduce the almond butter and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Pour in the vanilla extract. Using a spatula or your hands, combine everything until a thick dough starts to form. If the dough seems too dry, gradually add a teaspoon of water or almond milk until you reach the desired consistency.

        Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips, ensuring they are well-distributed throughout the dough for that perfect sweet bite.

          Shape the Bars: Transfer the cookie dough mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press it down firmly and evenly, creating a smooth surface.

            Chill the Bars: Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and place it in the refrigerator. Allow it to chill for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

              Prepare the Chocolate Drizzle: If you’re opting for the chocolate drizzle, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between intervals until melted and smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the chilled bars for an extra layer of indulgence.

                Cut and Serve: Once the bars have firmed up, use the parchment overhang to lift them out of the dish. Cut into squares or bars as desired. Serve and enjoy the deliciousness!
