Ingredients

Scale

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 the workspace: Gather all ingredients and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease in removing the bark later.
  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 uniform in texture.
  3. Add chocolate chips: Stir in the dark chocolate chips gently, allowing them to soften slightly in the mix but not fully melt, for that signature cookie dough feel.
  4. Incorporate nuts: Fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans carefully to distribute them evenly throughout the mixture.
  5. Spread the mixture: Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly to your desired thickness, ideally around 1/4 inch thick.
  6. Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes until the bark is firm and set.
  7. Slice and serve: Once the bark has set, slice it into squares or bars and enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge for later.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, substitute the nuts with seeds such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • You can use any type of dark chocolate chips, depending on your preferred cocoa percentage.
  • Store the cookie dough bark in the refrigerator to keep it firm and ensure freshness.
  • Feel free to add a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling for a sweet and salty flavor contrast.
  • This bark is naturally gluten-free and suitable for vegetarians.
