These easy chocolate chip peanut butter bars made with almond flour and only 5 ingredients are no bake, high in protein and are ready in under 30 minutes.
In a food processer, mix all ingredients. The batter should be crumbly like cookie dough but still holds it form when you squeeze it. You might have to add some milk or water.
½ cup peanut butter, 3 cup almond flour, ¼ cup maple syrup, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt
Press the batter into the lined pan. Flatten the surface with a spoon.
Make ganache top
Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe glass measuring cup. Microwave the chips for 1 minute. Stir them until most chips are melted.
1 cup chocolate chips
Microwave the milk for 30 seconds and then pour it into the melted chips and stir until velvety smooth.
⅓ cup almond milk
Pour the chocolate over the crust, and smooth with a spoon.
Freeze uncovered for 25 minutes or longer. You can slice them pretty quickly but if you want perfectly square slices, freeze more than 5 minutes.
Store in the refrigerator for a week or more.

Notes
Instead of maple syrup, you can use ⅔ cup date paste. Here is my date paste recipe.Peanut butter can be replaced with any nut butter, tahini or even sunflower seed butter to keep it nut free.
