What You Will Need
For the bottom layer:
- 1 large organic egg
- 1/3 cup peanut butter – I used the Prozis Collagen Peanut Butter. You can use the discount code KATIE10 on their site!
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp organic maple syrup
- 1 cup organic almond flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking powder
Top layer:
- 1/3 cup jam of choice – I use the Chia Smash chia jam. The ingredients are soooo clean!
How To Make Them
- Preheat your oven to 350°F. Line a standard 9×5 loaf pan with parchment paper.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, peanut butter, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Then add in the almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix until fully incorporated.
- Spread the cookie layer evenly in the bottom of the pan and bake for 10 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
- Evenly spread the jam on top of the cooled cookie layer and drizzle on additional peanut butter if desired.
- Chill in fridge to set. Cut into 7 bars & enjoy! You could also cut these into smaller squares if you’d like smaller servings!
How To Store Leftovers
Store your leftovers covered in an air tight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. They keep so well!
