Preparation
Step 1
Add the SunButter and maple syrup to a large bowl. Use a rubber spatula to mix the two together.
Step 2
Once smooth, add in the rest of the ingredients and stir to combine. This part takes a little elbow grease, but keep working and it will come together.
Step 3
Right before it’s fully combined together, add in the chocolate chips and continue to mix until the dry ingredients have disappeared and the chips are evenly distributed.
Step 4
Line an 8×8 square baking dish with parchment paper and allow it to hang over the sides for easy removal.
Step 5
Press the dough into the baking dish and spread it as evenly and smoothly as possible.
Step 6
Sprinkle a handful of chocolate chips on top (optional) and press them into the surface.
Step 7
Chill the bars for at least 1 hour. At the 1-hour mark they may still be a bit soft, but definitely manageable. The longer the bars chill, the more solid/thick they become (but not tough or hard).
Step 8
Remove from the pan and slice into 12 bars. Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator where they will keep for about 10 days. Enjoy!
Step 9
