Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, stir together flaxseed and water. Let sit for 5 minutes until thickened.
In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. Add to the bowl the flax egg, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
Fold in chocolate chips then press evenly into the prepared pan. Bake for 18–22 minutes, until the edges are set and the center is just firm. Let cool completely before slicing.

Notes

Storage: Store the cooled bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 3 months (thaw at room temperature before eating).
