Chocolate Almond Butter Bars
These Chocolate Almond Butter Bars are easy to make and are real crowd pleasers! You’ve just got to sink your teeth into these rich gluten-free, paleo and vegan bars.
As I have upped my exercise game recently I have noticed that my appetite has definitely increased. While these are not particularly a workout snack I found that they really help me satisfy my sweet tooth. Anyway, who wouldn’t love almond butter and chocolate, huh?
They are full of healthy fats which helps to keep you full for longer. Even though they might be healthier than a regular brownie you should still consider them a treat.
And while we are talking treats, another favourite of mine is this Best Healthy Chocolate Brownie Ever Recipe with some delicious Avocado Ice Cream, oh so goood.
As I have decided to get more serious about exercise I guess I have to come up with some pre and post workout snacks, but fear not there will always be room for the occasional treat. 😉

So, make yourself some Chocolate Almond Butter Bars, sit back and keep your eyes peeled for the news.

Chocolate Almond Butter Bars
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon ground flaxseeds
- 1/2 cup chickpea water from a tin of chickpeas, keep the chickpeas for another dish
- 1 cup almond butter
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/3 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil melted
- 4 tablespoons almond milk
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 80 grams dark chocolate 80%
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 °F/ 180 °C.
- Line an 8x8 inch (20cm) square baking tin with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl combine the chickpea water with the ground flaxseeds and set aside.
- Roughly chop the dark chocolate into chunks and set aside.
- Place all the ingredients except for the dark chocolate into a blender or food processor and blend until well combined.
- The batter should be thick and sticky. Now carefully fold in about 2/3 of the dark chocolate chunks and keep the rest for decoration.
- Pour the batter into the lined baking tin and press the leftover chocolate chunks on top. Bake the chocolate almond butter bars for about 25 minutes or until they turn deep golden brown. I like mine slightly fudgy if you don't just bake them a little longer.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely before slicing.
