Do you eat nut butter straight from the jar? Do you have a collection of 5-10 nut butters in your pantry? Do you put nut butter on any/everything? If you answered yes to any of these questions, these Flourless Peanut Butter Bars are made for you. If you answered no to all of these questions, these bars are still probably made for you.
Inspired by my all-time favorite vegan desert bar, I first tried these bars while working for an organic catering company, my first full-time job out of college. For the two years I worked there, I would sneakily try to get my hands on the recipe. Turns out I’m not very sneaky. I never ended up with the recipe for my favorite vegan desert bar.
Thus, the recipe for these Flourless Peanut Butter Bars were born out of pure necessity.
I wanted a healthified version of these decadent bars so I could eat one (okay, three) without feeling *meh*. Instead of using white flour, these Flourless Peanut Butter bars are grain-free and made with a mixture of almond flour, coconut flour, and a sh*t ton of peanut butter.
If you’re a self proclaimed nut butter addict, I can’t take you seriously until you make these Flourless Peanut Butter Bars. Then, after you devour these guys, you can make my Paleo Almond Butter Chocolate Chunk Cookies or some homemade Roasted Pecan Almond Butter. Because if you’re a nut butter addict, there’s no such thing as too much nut butter.

Ingredients
- 1.5 cups natural peanut butter creamy or chunky
- 3/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 3/4 cup unsalted roasted peanuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F and line a 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
- Combine peanut butter and coconut sugar with a hand mixer in a large mixing bowl until well combined.
- Add the coconut oil, almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, and 1/2 cup of the chopped peanuts and stir until combined.
- Pour mixture into the baking pan and top with the extra 1/4 cup of chopped peanuts.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until top is browned and edges are crispy.
- This is crucial — you need to let the bars cool completely before cutting or they will fall apart.
- Once cool, cut bars and store in an airtight container in the fridge. They will solidify more once the bars are refrigerated.
