Instructions:
- Prepare the Brownie Layer:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch baking dish with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, melted coconut oil, almond butter, almond milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until a thick brownie batter forms.
- Press the brownie batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking dish.
- Prepare the Bomb Layer:

- Spread this bomb layer evenly over the brownie layer in the baking dish.
- Bake and Chill:
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the edges are slightly firm.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set.
- Prepare the Topping:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil together in short intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chilled brownie bomb bars, spreading it evenly.
- Chill and Serve:
- Return the baking dish to the refrigerator and allow the chocolate topping to set for about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
