I've seen this style of bars quite a lot on TikTok, and it made me hungry every time! So I wanted to make my vegan, less sweet version 😍😍 Basically, these are snack bars (or squares), inspired by raw cookie dough, they're super energetic and are based on nut puree (here I used peanut butter but you could use almond or hazelnut puree for example). I've added some Brazil nuts and a bit of salt flakes and it was INCREDIBLE ❤️

Great to eat before going to the gym, or as an afternoon snack. I've also cut them into very small pieces to add to my chia pudding 🥰

Steps

Crush the Brazil nuts (I used 60g but you can omit this ingredient or use other nuts). And about half of the chocolate.
In a bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Once well combined, add the almond flour. Mix to form a dough.
Add the nuts and chocolate chips. Mix and then pour the batter into a dish lined with parchment paper. Smooth it out to have an even thickness. Place it in the freezer for 15 minutes.
Melt the remaining chocolate with a tablespoon of coconut oil to liquefy it, then pour it over the cookie dough. Sprinkle with a few flakes of salt. And place in the fridge for another 15 minutes.
You can now remove everything from the dish, take off the baking paper and cut the block into bars or squares! It can easily be kept for 5 days in a box in the fridge.
