How to Make Healthy Cookie Dough Bark

Ingredients

1 and 1/2 cups almond flour
1/4 cup cashew butter (or peanut butter)
1/4 cup maple syrup
2 tbsp melted coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 cup chocolate chips

Directions

In a bowl, mix the almond flour, cashew butter, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and salt together until everything is well combined.
Stir in the chocolate chips.
Place parchment paper on a cutting board or large plate. Transfer the cookie dough mixture onto the parchment paper.
With a silicone spatula or your clean hands, press the cookie dough firmly to flatten it into about a 1/2-inch thick layer. Set this aside.

Pour and spread the melted chocolate over the flattened cookie dough and sprinkle flaky sea salt on top.
