These bars are a magical combo of cashew butter, banana, chocolate chips, and a few other goods, perfect for a plant-based, gluten-free, and paleo treat.
In a bowl, mix together 1 cup cashew butter, 1/2 mashed banana, 1/3 cup coconut flour, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1 tbsp cinnamon. Mix it up well, then add in 1/4 cup chocolate chips. Add this mixture to an 8x8 cake/brownie pan that you’ve lined with parchment paper. Put the pan in the fridge for 5-10 minutes to chill. While the bars are chilling, make the chocolate layer. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup chocolate chips with 2 tbsp cashew butter. Melt for 30 seconds, stir, and continue melting/stirring every 15 seconds until completely melted and smooth. Add the melted chocolate mixture to the top of the bars, spreading evenly, and then put them in the freezer for 2-3 hours to set completely. Remove from the freezer, slice into bars, and enjoy. Store leftover bars in the freezer.
