Ingredients

For the crust

For the chocolate

Instructions

  • Preheat oven 350 F and line an 8x8 square baking dish with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, coconut sugar, salt and baking soda. I combined mine with a fork to breakup any clumps of flour.
  • Add the maple syrup and coconut oil to the flour mixture. It will be sticky, somewhat runny mixture.
  • Place the mixture in the prepared baking dish, pressing it evenly throughout the pan with your hand. Bake 15-18 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from the oven and let the mixture cool completely about 1 hour.
  • To a small saucepan, add almond milk and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add cocoa powder and chocolate and reduce to medium-low. Stir continuously for 10-12 minutes until a thick chocolatey mixture appears. The chocolate should be a little runny like a glaze. If it is too runny, add a little extra cocoa powder to thicken.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, spreading evenly throughout with a baking spatula.
  • Arrange berries on the top of the chocolate, pressing slightly into the chocolate.
  • Place the bars in the freezer 2-3 hours until set. Then cut into 16 bars. Store bars in the freezer until gone. They will go quickly!

Notes

  • Measure the flour properly when making these muffins or you will end up with 2 times the amount of dry ingredients.
  • To lighten up the recipe more, reduce the maple syrup or replace the maple syrup with powdered stevia. I use Trader Joe's stevia as a baking replacement.
  • My Amazon shop has more products similar to those used for this recipe and that I recommend to my weight loss clients.
