Servings 10 pieces
Ingredients
Cookie Dough Layer
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/3 cup vanilla protein powder (I used Ritual vanilla)
- 1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
- 2-4 tbsp milk of choice (as needed for texture)
Chocolate Top Layer
- 3/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1 tsp coconut oil
Instructions
Make the cookie dough base:
- In a bowl, mix maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add almond flour, protein powder and salt and mix until a soft dough forms. Depending on the protein powder used, you may need to add in a little milk until you have a dough that you can press into. Add in 1 tbsp at a time, until desired consistency is reached.
- Fold in chocolate chips last.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and press the dough into an even layer (about 1/4–1/2 inch thick). Pop it in the freezer while you melt the chocolate.
- Microwave chocolate chips with coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals. Stirring until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer and spread evenly.
Freeze:
- Place in the freezer for 1–2 hours, or until fully set.
- Remove and break into bark-style pieces with your hands or using a knife and enjoy!
Notes
- Protein powder brands vary, adjust milk as needed for the desired cookie dough texture.
- You can swap almond butter for peanut butter or even cashew butter if you'd like!
- Thickness will affect freeze time, thinner bark sets faster, thicker will need a little more time.
