CHOCOLATE CHIP BROWNIE BARS
1 cup of creamy cashew butter (or any nut butter you have on hand)
1 tablespoon ground chia seeds*
3 tablespoons filtered water
1/2 cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chocolate chips (be sure to get dairy free if vegan)
Pre-Heat oven to 350º
Grease an 8×8 baking dish with cooking spray or coconut oil. Set aside.
Combine chia seeds and water in a small bowl and allow to sit for 5 minutes until it thickens up and has a gel like texture.
In a large bowl combine; cashew butter, chia egg mixture, maple syrup, coconut flour, vanilla extract, baking soda, and kosher salt. Mix until everything is well combined.
Sprinkle in chocolate chips and gently mix until they are evenly distributed through out the batter.
Transfer batter to greased baking dish and gently pat the batter into the pan to even it out.
Bake for 30 minutes or until the cookie bars are set up and lightly browned.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into 9 squares. Enjoy
*Most chia seeds are not ground up when you buy them. You’ll need to grind them yourself to make the chia egg. The easiest way to do this is in a coffee grinder.
**Store the bars in an airtight container and keep them in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Happy Friday my friends! I am super excited to share these insanely delicious bars with you. I am telling you… you are going to LOVE them. They are #SOGood! xo-Dani
thanks
Great Recipe. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Dani,
Is there an alternative to the nut or seed butter? I’m allergic to both☹.
very nice
Brownies or Blondies?
Yum now instead of bars how about making cookies
I have tons of cookie recipes too if thats what you prefer:)
Would oat flour work too? I can’t wait to try these but only have oats on hand.
I think it would but you may need just a bit more.
Perfect! Thanks. I can’t wait to try these out! Also, I love the use of the nut butters (instead of actual butter, or even coconut oil)!
The chia egg is brilliant
Right?! And so easy!
Clean & Delicious I have a chia flaxseed mix. Same results?

Awesome! Enjoy.
Please make more recipes using coconut flour
Ok, thanks for the suggestion!
I’m making these. I just need chocolate chips. I don’t keep those in the house ☺
Yay You Go Dani, thanks so much for doing this great video. I really like that they are vegan and paleo. I am doing the keto thing
right now, and loving it. You Rock Dani Happy Friday and much Love and Blessings for You.
Just made these with almond butter because. I didn’t have cashew butter. They’re amazing!
Dani, I only have one question: Why is it that you don’t have a show on the Food Network? You deserve it.
It looks delicious ! What can I use instead of the coconut flour ?
Do you think I could do a blend of cashew butter and peanut butter? I really love peanut butter and chocolate together, and you mentioned that cashew butter has a slight cookie dough taste to it.
+Nicholas Falconer definitely!!
