Brownie Batter
- 1 cup almond flour
- 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Topping
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, melted coconut oil, and maple syrup. Stir well to form a smooth batter. Fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips evenly throughout.
- Form the Bark: Line a small baking sheet or large plate with parchment paper. Transfer the batter mixture onto the parchment and use your hands to spread and flatten it into a thick, even layer forming the brownie bark base.
- Prepare the Chocolate Topping: Melt the remaining 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth. Pour the melted chocolate over the brownie batter bark and spread it into an even layer to fully cover the surface.
- Freeze to Set: Place the coated brownie batter bark in the freezer for at least one hour to allow it to harden completely.
- Serve and Store: Once set, remove from the freezer and cut or break into large pieces. Enjoy immediately or store the bark in an airtight container in the freezer for later indulgence.
Notes
- Use dairy-free or vegan chocolate chips to keep this recipe fully vegan.
- Almond flour provides a gluten-free base but you can substitute with other nut flours if preferred.
- Keep the bark stored in the freezer as the coconut oil and chocolate will soften at room temperature.
- For added texture, sprinkle chopped nuts or sea salt on top before freezing.
- Allow the bark to thaw a few minutes before eating if too hard from the freezer.
