Directions

  1. To make the dough place the almond flour, arrowroot flour and baking soda in a bowl and mix to combine. Add the maple syrup, coconut oil and pure vanilla extract. Mix until combined. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 40 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F.
  3. Roll out the dough between two piece of parchment paper into an 11×7.5 -inch rectangle. Lift off the top sheet and transfer the dough to a baking sheet. Bake for 12-14 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely.
  4. Cut the dough crosswise into 4 equal pieces. Set aside.
  5. To make the frosting, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together, in a double broiler or microwave, until smooth. Add the almond butter and mix to combine. Let cool until spreadable (about 30-60 minutes).
  6. To assemble the bars, spread 1/3 of frosting on first dough layer. Repeat with remaining layers and frosting. Refrigerate overnight.

  8. To make the glaze, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together. Let it cool slightly. Use two forks to dip each bar into the chocolate. Shake a little to let the excess chocolate drip. Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and pop back into the freezer until the chocolate sets.
  9. Keep refrigerated in an airtight container until serving.
