Preparation
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350F and grease and line an 8×8 baking pan with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a separate bowl using an electric mixer, mix together the almond butter and brown sugar.
Step 4
Mix in the egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and almond extract.
Step 5
Dump in the dry ingredients and mix until combined. At this point the dough will be very thick.
Step 6
Try your best to fold in the chocolate and almonds as evenly as possible.
Step 7
Take large chunks of the dough and press it into the pan. Some chocolate and almonds will fall to the bottom of the bowl. Sprinkle those all over the top of the dough and press them in.
Step 8
Bake for 28-32 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
Step 9
Let it cool in the pan for about 20 minutes then slice and serve. Enjoy!
