Healthy Gooey Chocolate Bars

Ingredients

• 110g almond flour

• 40g coconut flour

• 70g coconut oil, melted

• 2 tbsp maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• ½ tsp sea salt
  

• 200g creamy peanut butter

• 2 tbsp almond butter

• 60ml maple syrup

• 55g coconut oil, melted

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
  

• 340g chocolate chips

• 1 tbsp coconut oil

• Flakey sea salt

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C and line a square baking dish with parchment paper.

2. In a big bowl, combine the almond and coconut flour, then add the coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract and salt. Mix well, and press out evenly into the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes. Let it cool.

3. In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter with the almond butter, maple syrup, coconut oil and vanilla. Transfer the mixture to a pot and bring to a boil on medium heat. Keep stirring while boiling it for 2 minutes. Then pour over the cooled off biscuit layer. Freeze for at least 30 minutes.

4. Melt the chocolate chips together with the coconut oil. Let cool for 10 mins. In the mean time take out the frozen filling. Cut into bar sized pieces. Dip into the chocolate and let it drip over a grate or a grill plate. Sprinkle with flakey salt.
