I love a good cookie – especially in bar form. These cookie bars are moist, ooey gooey and fudgy! The dough itself is SO delicious – that I need to remind myself to put them in the oven and bake them before I eat all the dough.

One of my favorite parts about this recipe is the easy cleanup. This is a one-bowl recipe that requires just a few ingredients. I like to line the baking pan with parchment paper so I can just throw the parchment paper away and not even have to clean the pan.

These cookie bars are paleo-friendly and are made with almond flour to keep them gluten-free and grain-free. I used coconut sugar as the sweetener to keep them refined-sugar-free.

This recipe is made with plant based / vegan butter to keep them dairy-free. If you’re not dairy-free you can use the same amount of butter instead of vegan butter. This recipe calls for a 1/2 cup of melted vegan butter, which equals 1 stick of butter / vegan butter.

Ingredients needed for these cookie bars:

  • vegan butter – melt the butter in a small saucepan over very low heat. once melted turn off the heat and let it cool for a few minutes before adding in the other ingredients.
  • egg – I always opt for a pasture-raised egg for optimal nutrients.
  • vanilla extract – gives these cookie bars their delicious flavor.
  • coconut sugar – my sweetener of choice for this recipe. I love that coconut sugar is unrefined and a more natural sweetener.
  • almond flour – this is the only flour used in this recipe. It keeps this recipe gluten-free and grain-free.
  • baking powder – to help the cookie bars rise and get fluffier.
  • salt – because what’s a cookie without a bit of salt?!
  • chocolate chips – obviously – because what’s a cookie without chocolate chips?! I opt for dairy-free chocolate chips that are naturally sweetened.

How to make these magical chocolate chip cookie bars:

I love how easy this one-bowl recipe is! First you’ll mix together the wet ingredients (vegan butter, egg, vanilla extract and coconut sugar) in a large mixing bowl. Then stir in the dry ingredients (almond flour, baking powder, salt & chocolate chips).

Next you’ll spoon the batter into a parchment-lined 8×8 baking dish and place in the oven at 350F. These bake for about 25 minutes – make sure not to over-bake them! The edges should be golden and the top should be lightly golden. I love when the center cooked JUST enough – but still soft and gooey. Make sure you let these cool completely on a cooling rack before slicing and serving – I let them cool for at least 30 minutes before touching them.

The most DELISHHH paleo wild salmon cakes - a new The most DELISHHH paleo wild salmon cakes - a new favorite lunch / dinner of mine! I made them with @blueharborfishco canned wild salmon - a clean-cut seafood brand in Florida! Their seafood is sustainably caught in the South Pacific and Alaska, so it’s better for the environment than many of the other canned seafood brands you’ll find. It's also simply prepared without preservatives, for a superior clean taste.

Here's the recipe:
1 can of @blueharborfishco wild salmon, drained
1 pasture-raised egg, beaten
2 tbsp avocado oil mayonnaise
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tsp dijon mustard
2/3 cup almond flour (finely blanched)
1/4 cup diced red onion
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Fresh parsley and dill for serving.

In a large bowl combine all ingredients until well-mixed. Shape into 5 even-sized patties. Add 1 tbsp avocado oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once heated, add the salmon patties, leaving space between each one (I cook 2 - 3 at a time). Cook the salmon patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown on each side. Remove the salmon patties to a paper towel lined plate. Serve the patties with fresh parsley and dill. Enjoy!
