Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 cup oat flour
- 1/2 cup nut butter (such as almond or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the dough: In a medium bowl, combine the oat flour, nut butter, and maple syrup. Mix until a thick, pliable dough forms, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Spread on a tray: Line a baking sheet or tray with parchment paper. Spread the cookie dough mixture evenly over the parchment, pressing down to create a flat, uniform layer about 1/4 inch thick.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips: Evenly distribute the chocolate chips over the cookie dough layer, gently pressing them into the surface so they stick.
- Chill to set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up the bark, allowing it to harden sufficiently for breaking.
- Break into pieces: Once chilled and firm, remove from the refrigerator and break the bark into bite-sized pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.
Notes
- For a nut-free version, substitute nut butter with sunflower seed butter.
- Use dark chocolate chips to reduce sugar content.
- Store the bark in the refrigerator to maintain firmness and freshness.
