Ingredients
1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, or ghee, softened (not melted)
1/3 cup sugar-free sweetener, of choice
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups Super Fine Almond Flour
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, optional
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line an 8” x 8” baking pan with parchment paper.
Beat the butter in a stand mixer (or in a mixing bowl with an electric hand mixer) until fluffy. Add the sweetener nd vanilla extract and beat until creamy until fluffy. Scrape the sides of the mixer with a rubber spatula. Add egg and beat until well combined.
Add the almond flour, baking soda, sea salt and cinnamon and beat until well-combined. Beat in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Transfer dough to the parchment-lined baking pan and press into an even layer. If desired, add more chocolate chips on top!
Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until edges are golden brown and the bars seem firm. I let mine go for 20 minutes, then turn off the oven and let them sit for another 5 minutes in the oven. For gooier, under-baked bars, bake for 18 to 20 minutes and for firmer bars, bake for 25 to 30 minutes.
Remove bars from the oven and allow them to cool for at least 40 minutes before slicing and serving.
