Instructions

Mix dry ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, and sea salt. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
Add wet ingredients: Add the maple syrup, natural peanut butter, coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly until a smooth, uniform batter forms.
Prepare the base: Line a baking dish with parchment paper, then spread the mixture evenly inside to form the bar base layer.
Chill base: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and let the base set for about 20 minutes until firm.
Melt chocolate: Melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth and fully melted.
Top with chocolate: Remove the base from the fridge and pour the melted chocolate over it. Use a spatula to spread the chocolate evenly over the top layer.
Set chocolate layer: Return the baking dish to the fridge for approximately 30 minutes to allow the chocolate topping to solidify completely.
Slice and serve: Once set, remove the bars from the fridge, cut into 12 bars, and serve.

Notes

Ensure the peanut butter is natural with no added sugars for a healthier bar.
You can substitute maple syrup with honey if preferred, but flavor and sweetness may vary.
Use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content for the best taste and health benefits.
Store bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to one week.
For a nut-free option, substitute almond flour with seed flour like sunflower seed flour and use sunflower seed butter instead of peanut butter.
