COCONUT FLOUR BARS

Adapted from Monique’s recipe here.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup (4 tablespoons) melted coconut oil

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey

  • 2 eggs, slightly beaten

  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk

  • ½ cup coconut flour

  • ½ teaspoon baking soda

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 50 grams dark chocolate, broken into chunks or coarsely chopped

  • ½ cup coconut flakes

  • 1 tablespoon cacao nibs (optional)

We cut these into 6-8 bars — they’re small but filling.

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

  2. Grease a standard size loaf pan using a bit of coconut oil.

  3. In a large bowl, whisk together coconut oil, honey, eggs, and almond milk.

  4. In a medium bowl, mix together coconut flour, baking soda, and salt.

  5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until just combined and batter is smooth.

  6. Fold in coconut flakes and chopped chocolate.

  7. Tap loaf pan to get the batter to settle evenly. Gently smooth out the top as required.

  8. Sprinkle cacao nibs on top, if using.

  9. Bake for 25 minutes or until edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out with a few crumbs attached.

  10. Let cool completely and carefully cut into bars. They’re a bit crumbly but oh so delicious!
