Healthy Cookie Dough Bark Recipe

Introduction

This Healthy Cookie Dough Bark is a delicious and guilt-free treat combining creamy, almond-flavored cookie dough with rich chocolate. It’s easy to make and perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth without processed ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
• 1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp melted coconut oil
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tsp coconut oil
• Flaky sea salt, optional

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, add the almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix together until evenly combined. Then, stir in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips.
2. Step 2: Place parchment paper on a cutting board or large plate. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment paper. Using a silicone spatula or clean hands, firmly press the dough to flatten it to about 1/2-inch thick. Set aside.
3. Step 3: In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
4. Step 4: Pour and spread the melted chocolate evenly over the flattened cookie dough. If desired, sprinkle flaky sea salt on top for added texture and flavor.
5. Step 5: Chill the cookie dough bark in the freezer for 10 minutes to set. Once firm, chop into large chunks and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

• Try substituting almond flour with oat flour for a different texture and flavor.

• Add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the cookie dough for extra crunch and variety.
• For a dairy-free version, ensure your chocolate chips are vegan-friendly.
• Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or chili powder over the melted chocolate for a unique twist.

Storage
