Ingredients
Peanut Butter Layer
- 3/4 Cup Smooth Peanut Butter
- 1/2 Cup Coconut Flour
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- 4 tbsp Maple Syrup (adjust to taste)
Chocolate Topping
- 2/3 Cup Vegan/Dark Chocolate Chips
- 1 tbsp Coconut Oil
Instructions
- Roughly line a loaf tin with baking paper
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, add the peanut butter, vanilla and maple syrup - whisk until well combined
- Then mix in the coconut flour.
- Spoon this mixture into the bottom of the loaf tin and press down with your hands until even
- Put the chocolate chips in a microwave-proof bowl along with the coconut oil
- Microwave for 1-2 minutes until partially melted (then mix until completely melted)
- If you're using broken up chocolate, melt this in a bain marie (glass bowl placed over a pan of hot simmering water)
- Pour the chocolate topping over the peanut butter layer and place in the freezer for 30 minutes until set
- Pull the slab out of the loaf tin and turn it upside down onto a chopping board - (this makes it easier to then slice into bars as the chocolate will be harder)
- Slice into bars
