Step-by-step
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt peanut butter and butter. Typically takes about 90 seconds depending on your microwave. Set for 45 seconds, stir. Set for another 45 seconds, stir. If not melted at this point, add an additional 15 seconds until melted.
- To the melted butter add sweetener and vanilla, mix until combined.
- Add in almond and coconut flour, stir until incorporated.
- Place mixture in a lined 8x8 baking dish or brownie pan. If using a brownie pan this is enough dough to fill all 12 spots measured out in a tablespoon.
- Flatten dough with spoon or glass cup.
- Set aside in the refrigerator and allow 10-15 minutes for them to firm up.
- Meanwhile, melt 3 oz. Homemade Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips and Coconut Oil in a small saucepan over low heat. You can also melt in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds, continuing to add 15 seconds until melted. Stir to combine.
- Pour chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture, ensuring a nice thin layer is evenly coated on the bars.
- Place back in the refrigerator or freezer for 5-10 minutes until chocolate has hardened.
- Remove from the pan, cut if using an 8x8 baking dish, and enjoy!
