HOW TO MAKE THIS CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE BARS RECIPE
(Full Directions are in the recipe card below)
First line an 8 x 8 pan with parchment paper (9 x 9 pan would also work) and preheat oven.
Be sure to cut parchment paper long enough so you have some hanging over the sides.
This makes for easier removal of the cookie bars.
Then in medium mixing bowl blend together the almond butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, eggs and almond milk with hand mixer.
Add in the dry ingredients and mix till combined. Fold in chocolate chips and spread batter evenly into prepared pan.
Bake until lightly browned and toothpick inserted comes out clean.
HOW TO STORE THEM
You can store them in an airtight container on the counter for up to 2 days.
For even longer storage keep them in the fridge in an airtight container for about 5 days.
CAN I FREEZE COOKIE BARS
Once they've been cooled and cut into bars you can freeze them in a freezer safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
RECIPE NOTES & TIPS
The maple syrup can be adjusted in this recipe if you prefer a sweeter cookie.
I recommend no more than 2 additional tablespoons...
Or you could even use coconut sugar as well.
Almond butter can be substituted with another nut butter if you prefer.
