Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil
  • Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

  1. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed. Then fold in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
  2. Shape Cookie Dough: Place parchment paper onto a cutting board or large plate. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment. Use a silicone spatula or clean hands to firmly press and flatten the dough to about 1/2-inch thickness. Set aside.
  3. Melt Chocolate: In a small bowl, mix 1 cup chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Top Cookie Dough: Pour and evenly spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough. Sprinkle flaky sea salt over the top if desired.
  5. Chill to Set: Place the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely.
  6. Serve: Once set, chop into large chunks and enjoy your healthy cookie dough bark.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour and cashew butter with seed-based alternatives.
  • Use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep this recipe vegan and dairy free.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to maintain freshness.
  • Adjust the sweetness by varying the maple syrup amount to taste.
  • Flaky sea salt is optional but adds a nice contrast to the sweet chocolate topping.
