Instructions

Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, wax paper, or foil. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients: almond flour, cocoa powder and chocolate chips.
Add almond butter, maple syrup and vanilla. Using a sturdy spatula, stir and fold together until well mixed, and no almond butter or flour patches remain.
Pour batter into prepared baking pan. Using the spatula, smooth into an even, tightly-packed layer. Slice into 16 bars—bars will be soft, but firm enough to slice. For a special treat, warm in the microwave for 10-15 seconds; the brownies might be too soft to pick up, but can be eaten with a fork.
Enjoy! Storing instructions below.

Notes

– Adapted from my No Bake Almond Butter Paleo Brownie Bites.
– Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. In the refrigerator, the brownies will become very firm. Follow heating instructions below to soften.
– Freezing instructions: store in an airtight, freezer-friendly container for up to 1 month. Allow to thaw at room temperature for 10-20 mins before enjoying. Or, follow heating instructions below.
– For melty, warm brownies: heat in the microwave in 10-second increments until warm. So delicious—like fresh brownies! Be careful, as they’re very soft after warming.
