Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough Base

  • 1/2 cup (56g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (60g) protein powder (plain or vanilla)
  • 1/4 cup (65g) Organic SunButter
  • 1/4 cup (80g) maple syrup
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1-2 tbsp almond milk as needed
  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips

Chocolate Topping

  • 1/2 cup (90g) mini chocolate chips
  • 2 tsp coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Mix the Base: In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, SunButter, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until a thick dough forms.
  2. Adjust Consistency: If the dough feels too dry or thick, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of almond milk, mixing until the dough reaches a pliable consistency.
  3. Add Chocolate Chips: Fold in 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips evenly into the dough mixture.
  4. Form the Bark Base: Press the dough mixture evenly onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, spreading it out into a thin, uniform layer.
  5. Melt Chocolate Topping: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the remaining 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil until smooth and well combined.
  6. Assemble Bark: Pour the melted chocolate over the cookie dough layer, spreading it almost to the edges for full coverage.
  7. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled bark for at least 4 hours to allow it to set properly.
  8. Serve: Once firm, break the bark into approximately 12 even-sized pieces or smaller portions as preferred.
  9. Storage: Store cookie dough bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness and texture.
