Ingredients
  

1 cup almond flour

1 cup rolled oats

½ cup pure maple syrup

½ cup creamy peanut butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon sea salt

½ cup chocolate chips (dairy-free if desired)

¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (optional for a chocolatey twist)

¼ cup mini chocolate chips for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of almond flour, 1 cup of rolled oats, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (if you choose to add it), and ½ teaspoon of sea salt. Stir the mixture well until all components are evenly distributed.

    Add Wet Ingredients: Pour in ½ cup of pure maple syrup, ½ cup of creamy peanut butter, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Using a spatula or your clean hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until a thick, dough-like consistency forms. The mixture may feel slightly crumbly but should hold together when pressed firmly.

      Incorporate Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in ½ cup of chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly integrated throughout the dough.

        Prepare the Pan: Line an 8x8-inch baking dish with parchment paper, making sure to leave an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.

          Press the Mixture: Transfer the cookie dough mixture into the prepared baking dish. Use a spatula or your hands to press the mixture firmly and evenly into the pan, making sure the top surface is smooth and level.

            Chill: If you wish, sprinkle ¼ cup of mini chocolate chips on top for an added touch of delight. Place the dish into the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes to set.

              Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the bars from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Carefully slice the chilled mixture into squares or rectangles with a sharp knife.

                Enjoy: These no-bake cookie dough bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer shelf life. Indulge in these deliciously simple treats whenever you crave something sweet!
