- 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, cocoa powder, salt, and shredded coconut. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
- In another bowl, whisk together the honey (or maple syrup), melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Make sure the mixture is well combined.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be moist and sticky.
- Transfer the mixture into the lined baking dish and press it down evenly with the back of a spatula to form a firm layer.
