  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 8 bars 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale

Shortbread Ingredients:

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup sweetener (I use Swerve but feel free to use regular sugar)
  • 30 grams vanilla whey protein powder (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Sugar-free Chocolate Drizzle (optional)

  • 1-2 oz sugar-free chocolate chips
  • 1 tsp coconut oil (optional - helps to prevent chocolate from seizing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Line an 8 x 4-inch baking dish with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Combine all the shortbread ingredients and mix well.  Press firmly into baking dish and bake for 12-15 minutes or until edges are beginning to brown.  Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
  3. In a glass measuring cup, combine the chocolate and coconut oil (if using).  Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate has melted.  Drizzle over crust, smooth out the top and place in fridge to harden.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week
  • If you do not have a loaf pan, feel free to double the recipe and use an 8 x 8-inch baking dish
