Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, protein powder, ¼ cup melted coconut oil, and honey or maple syrup. Stir until a thick base forms.

2. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough is soft and holds together. Avoid overmixing.

3. Stir in 1½ tablespoons of chocolate chips. Mix until evenly incorporated.

4. Press the dough into a rectangle shape on a small parchment-lined baking tray.

5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the remaining chocolate chips with ½ teaspoon coconut oil in 15-second intervals until smooth.

6. Pour melted chocolate over the dough and spread evenly into a thin layer.

7. Sprinkle flaky sea salt if desired.

8. Freeze the tray for 30 to 60 minutes, or until firm.

9. Slice or break into bark pieces. Store in fridge or freezer.

Notes

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 1 month.

For variations, try folding in shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or cinnamon.

Texture tip: Add water gradually. Too much liquid will make it too soft, too little will make it crumbly.

Use a clean protein powder without fillers or thickeners for the best consistency.
