Ingredients
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup creamy almond butter
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs, room temperature
2 tsp pure vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter, almond butter, and brown sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the bowl and whisk until the batter is glossy.
Stir in the flour, baking powder, and salt until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Fold in the chocolate chips gently with a spatula.
Spread the batter into the prepared baking pan.
Sprinkle the sliced almonds on top.
Bake for 28 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool completely before cutting into squares.
Notes
Ensure your almond butter is well-stirred to avoid clumps. You can use either white or semisweet chocolate chips based on your preference. For extra depth, toast the sliced almonds before adding them as a topping.
