No-Bake Brownie Batter Bars (Gluten-Free & Vegan)

Line a quarter baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, maple syrup, melted & cooled coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth. Add in the almond flour. Sift the cocoa powder into the bowl, and add a pinch of salt. Mix to incorporate. Fold in chocolate chips. Transfer the brownie batter to your prepared baking sheet and pack it down using a spatula and your hands into a rectangle-ish shape about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.

In a separate bowl, melt the chocolate chips and coconut oil together in your microwave in 15 second increments, stirring between intervals until completely glossy and smooth. Pour melted chocolate on top of the brownie batter and smooth until even, over the entire surface area of the brownie batter. Add flaky salt on top and place in the freezer to set for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened. Slice into bars, and enjoy!
