Description

This Healthy Cookie Dough Bark is a delicious gluten-free treat combining almond flour, pure maple syrup, melted coconut oil, dark chocolate chips, and chopped nuts. Easy to prepare and perfect for a guilt-free snack or dessert, this no-bake bark is chilled until set, offering a smooth, indulgent texture with a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Prepare Workspace: Gather all ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bark.
  2. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, almond flour, pure maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips, mixing them until they start to soften slightly and distribute evenly throughout the batter.
  4. Fold in Nuts: Gently fold the chopped walnuts or pecans into the mixture to ensure they are evenly spread without breaking them down too much.
  5. Spread Mixture: Pour the cookie dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a spatula to spread it out evenly into a flat layer.
  6. Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes, or until the bark is firm and set.
  7. Slice and Serve: Once firm, remove from the fridge and slice into squares or bars. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • This recipe is naturally gluten-free and can be made nut-free by substituting nuts with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Use high-quality dark chocolate chips with at least 60% cacao for best flavor and health benefits.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
  • If you prefer a sweeter bark, drizzle additional maple syrup on top before chilling.
  • Ensure the coconut oil is fully melted for smooth mixing but not too hot to avoid melting the chocolate chips prematurely.
