Healthy No Bake Cookie Dough Bars 🍪
These No bake cookie dough bars are perfect for satisfying those sweet cravings without the oven. They are gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free too!
👩🏻🍳INGREDIENTS:
👉Base:
3/4 cup creamy cashew butter
1/4 cup organic maple syrup 🍁
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup organic almond flour
1/8 tsp fine sea salt 🧂
45g organic dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
*Optional - 30g protein powder for high protein bars
👉Ganache:
100g organic dark chocolate (roughly chopped)
1 tbsp creamy cashew butter
👩🏻🍳INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Spray a small baking dish with avocado oil or nonstick spray & set aside. I used a 1 QT 10x6 baking dish. Or you could use a loaf pan.
2. In a medium mixing bowl combine the almond flour, salt, vanilla, cashew butter, and maple syrup. Mix dough until fully incorporated. Fold in chopped chocolate.
3. Press cookie dough into the bottom of the dish, evenly pressing into all four corners. Place in the freezer for 10 minutes.
4. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate and 1 tbsp cashew butter in the microwave or in a small saucepan, stirring until melted and smooth.
5. Remove dish from freezer and pour melted chocolate ganache over the chilled cookie dough. Place back in freezer for 5 minutes, until chocolate topping has set but is not completely rock hard. You want it to be slightly soft so that you can cut the bars easier and not have the top chocolate layer crack.
6. Slice into 12-16 squares and place back in the freezer for 5 more minutes to set. Enjoy!
Store leftovers in the fridge. You can also freeze these, but if you do, let them thaw for 10-15 minutes or so before digging in!
