These magical almond flour chocolate chip cookie bars are chocolatey, gooey, soft & fudgy, and are SO delicious!

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.

Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love t Creamy chia pudding with all the toppings - love this for a satisfying breakfast! Chia seeds are packed with fiber and most of us don’t get enough fiber in our diets...

To make the chia pudding: in a blender add 1 cup almond milk, 1/4 cup chia seeds & 1/2 ripe banana (the banana is optional, but I love that it naturally sweetens it & makes it nice and creamy. Blend then pour into a jar and refrigerate overnight (or for at least an hour). Add desired toppings. I love fresh berries, grain-free granola & hemp seeds. Love some almond butter drizzled on top too!
You know my blender spinach muffins that I’m obs You know my blender spinach muffins that I’m obsessed with?! Well they recently got a little upgrade with CHOCOLATE!

Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blu Officially one of my new fave smoothies!! This blueberry zucchini almond butter shake is such a great way to get some veggies in! Thank you for this recipe @flora_and_vino 

1.5 cups almond milk
1 tbsp ground flax
1 tbsp almond butter 
1 scoop vanilla protein (can use vegan protein or vanilla collagen).
1 cup frozen blueberries 
1 frozen zucchini (I steam it first, let it cool, then chop it & freeze it). 

Blenddddd baby! So creamy & delish!!
I remember about two years ago I had a cough that I remember about two years ago I had a cough that was lingering so I went to a doctor that I had never been to before just to get checked out and make sure everything was okay. The doctor spent under 5 minutes with me, barely checked me out and almost immediately wrote me a prescription for an antibiotic. I was questioning why I was taking an antibiotic and he didn’t really take the time to explain and rushed off to another patient. I trusted my gut instinct that I didn’t need an antibiotic (I am definitely open to taking them was necessary), and 5 days later my cough went away on its own. I could dive deeper into this, but wanted to share that I am so glad I have found a doctor that spends adequate time with me - whenever I need - for as long as I need. You deserve that!! We all deserve that. 

I’m so lucky to be in such great hands with @steadymd - they’re an online doctor that’s available via an app on your phone and you can reach out with anything anytime! I spent over an hour last week on the phone with my functional MD going over bloodwork. All of my questions were thoroughly answered. A functional MD is the best fit for ME (my doc takes a whole person approach to health & understands things like training, recovery & nutrition), but whats so great is SteadyMD matches you with a doctor that aligns with YOU and your specific medical needs, diet, lifestyle and goals, not just someone who's local based on a quick quiz you take! 

SteadyMD is so convenient and refreshing and is EXACTLY what I've been looking for in a doctor. Plus it's super convenient - No co-pays. No waiting rooms. Just unlimited access to a doctor who “gets” you.

Click the link in my bio or visit steadymd.com/leahsplate to get started. 

Thank you so much to SteadyMD for partnering on this post! I’m so grateful to partner with a company I believe in so much 🤍
Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! De Peanut butter & banana French toast roll ups!!! Def a big hit w the girls!! 

First cut the crust off the bread (I used sprouted organic whole wheat) and then flatten with a rolling pin. Spread a layer of peanut butter over the bread, followed by thinly sliced banana (the banana just covering 1/4 of the bread), then roll up. Dip the entire rollup in egg & almond milk mixture (1 egg, 2 tbsp almond milk, cinnamon & 1/2 tsp vanilla extract). Cook on a frying pan over medium heat in coconut oil (or grass-fed butter). I heat up the frying pan a few min before placing the rollup on it. Cook for 2 - 3 min on each side. Drizzle some peanut butter on top & ENJOY! 

It’s a beautifullllll day here in South Florida, so planning to spend the rest of the day outside w the girls & Josh. Putting my phone away & being present in what’s REALLY important (which is the people you’re spending time with in REAL life), not scrolling mindlessly on social media - something I’m really working on! 🤍
