Ingredients
Crumble Layer
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp almond extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 cup blanched almond flour
- 1/2 tsp pink Himalayan salt
Chocolate Layer
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/3 cup almond butter
Top Layer
- 1/2 cup reserved crumble
- a handful of freeze dried raspberries
- a handful of dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Start by lining an 8x8 baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
- Grab a large bowl and add the wet ingredients. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Then, add in the dry ingredients and mix until soft and crumbly. Reserve about 1/2 cup of the crumble and then press the rest into the baking dish and set aside.
- Next make your chocolate almond butter layer: melt the dark chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave and stir until smooth, then add in the almond butter and stir well. The mixture should be thick and creamy. Pour this on top of the bottom layer and even it out with a spatula.Now, sprinkle the reserved crumb on on top of the chocolate layer, then add the dark chocolate chips and freeze dried raspberries.
- Freeze until set, about 20 minutes, then slice and enjoy! The chocolate should solidify but be soft enough to bite through. You can also leave them at room temperature to soften a bit if they are too hard. Store these bars covered in the fridge.
