Can I use cacao as a substitute?
Hi Kim. Do you mean cacao nibs instead of the paleo chocolate? Unfortunately, that won’t work as the chocolate needs to melt with the almond butter to make the topping. Hope this helps!
Can you use peanut butter instead of almond butter?
Hi Josie! Yep, that works fine. Just know that once you swap to peanut butter, they aren’t going to be paleo any more. 🙂
Oh ok! Thank you!!
What a nice recipe! Thank you for sharing!
You’re very welcome!
Thanks a bunch for sharing this, I really love these. My hubby enjoyed them & my 13 year old son tried one & said “If I had to eat the way you do, then these would be fantastic”. That’s quite a compliment coming from him. Thanks truly!
Thank *you* for letting me know how you liked it! Haha on your son’s compliment. I’ll take it! 😉 Thanks for stopping by, Mavi. 🙂
These were so yummy and a lot easier to make than I was expecting. The perfect dessert to have throughout the week!!
Love it! I’m usually not a fan of nutty flavours, but I really enjoyed it. Plus they’re quick and easy.
Wonderful! I’m so happy that you still enjoyed it, Brooke. 🙂
LOVE!!!
How many calories for 1 bar?
I’m wondering the same thing. I tried to do the math, but I don’t believe I did it right! 🙂
Hi, I am very excited to try this recipe! Do you have any thoughts on substituting the flour and using cassava flour? Oat and almond flour aren’t an option right now. Thanks
Hi Megan! I’m not sure about the cassava flour. As I know it, cassava flour is poisonous when eaten raw. If that’s the only thing you have on hand, bake the flour first at 350F for about 5 mins so ensure it’s cooked. Then use in this recipe. Double check this to make sure! 😉 Good luck!
Made these last night when I was craving dessert bad but wanted to stay on plan. I read the directions wrong so I came back from the store with not enough almond butter (I didn’t see that it was also needed for the chocolate layer). So I used coconut butter for the chocolate layer instead. Still so good!! And easy! Thanks for sharing!
How funny! Isn’t it awesome when you experience a bit of a hiccup/change in plans and it all works out anyway? Love that the coconut butter worked. Enjoy!!
Hi, I plan on trying these for our family gathering this weekend. I however am not vegan so I was wondering how to sub eggs for flax eggs. I hope this doesnt cause a problem for you with me asking about eggs
Hi Tammy! No problem at all with asking. 🙂 Usually it’s a simple 1:1 swap with my baked recipes, but I noticed that this recipe doesn’t call for flax eggs. Was there another recipe you were thinking about making?
Decadent, Delicious & Healthy!
Thanks so much for the delicious recipe, will definitely be making again and again and again. My whole family are in love with these, cant blame them! 😉
I found another recipe that says you can roast a sheet of almonds on 350 for 10 minutes. It worked out perfectly just that in my tiny blender, I could only make a cup at a time of almond blender, going to have to invest in a food processor, the taste of homemade almond butter is amazing in comparison to store bought in my opinion.
Thanks again for the scrumptious recipe!!!!
Hugs
Three words I love to hear! You are so welcome, Mo! 🙂 Isn’t it wonderful when you can make a healthy treat that the entire family loves? Love that you used homemade almond butter in these—it’s one of my fave ways of amping up the delish almond flavor. Happy No Baking! Big hugs back!! .
Almonds have great nutritional value and these almond butter bars a real delight to enjoy they’re simply scrumptious, I made a whole batch of these!
Yes and yes! I’m so glad that you enjoyed my paleo almond butter bars, Veronica! 🙂
Hello there,
If I want a sugar free recipe, can I just remove the maple syrup from the recipe? Or will I have to substitute it with something like stevia.
Many thanks,
Corey
Hi Corey, I definitely suggest subbing the maple syrup with something else. Perhaps try adding stevia in small amounts & increasing until you reach the taste you like. 🙂
