Chocolate + SunButter = something magical

It shouldn’t be any surprise that some of the most loved desserts I’ve shared over the years, like SunButter Buckeyes  and  Easy SunButter Swirl Vegan Brownies are based on this beloved combo of rich chocolate and creamy SunButter.  And todays recipe is another yummy example of that pairing.

These loaded SunButter Chocolate Chunk Bars are a mixture of your classic Chocolate Chip Bar + Blondie but elevated to the next level. They have a soft, chewy texture, are loaded with chocolate (inside and out), lots of SunButter flavor, yet so light and delicious!

These bars are the perfect treat to make whether you’re vegan, have a food allergy, or just craving a delicious sweet treat!

Ingredients and Substitutions for SunButter Cookie Bars

• SunButter. I LOVE the SunButter and chocolate combo!  We used their Creamy blend but you can also sub with Natural (yellow), Organic (green) or even their Crunchy variety (blue).
• Light Brown Sugar.  This is the key to creating that beautiful crispy edge white keeping them soft and chewy.  
• Oil.  This is the place to use the highest quality extra-virgin olive oil you can find. natural flavor of olive oil cuts through the sweetness of the bars yet complements the chocolate.  Canola Oil, or liquid coconut oil is another option.
• Flour. An all purpose blend is what I used here, however, you can swap it out for an All Purpose 1:1 gluten free flour if needed. 
• Milk.  For baking recipes, I love using Flax milk (although its becoming harder to find).  Soy, Coconut, Almond, or Oat milk would all work in its place. 
• Vegan Chocolate Chips & SunCups.  Whether you choose semi sweet, milk or dark chips you’ll be in for a treat.  I love using larger chocolate chunks then chop up SunCups to press into the top for extra YUM!

How to Make Vegan Chocolate Chunk Bars with SunButter:

The ingredients are few and the steps for to make these loaded SunButter Bars couldn’t be easier. 

• In a large bowl, mix the brown sugar, oil and SunButter until smooth. 
• Add the flour and combine.  Then pour in dairy-free milk and blend until smooth. 
• Fold in the chocolate chunks (or chips).
• Transfer the batter to a prepared pan and spread the mixture out in an even layer. Because it’s a thicker batter, I found it easiest to pat the batter down in an even layer with a rubber spatula.
• Add the toppings! Press chopped SunCups or extra chocolate chunks on top. 
• Bake & Enjoy! Bake for 25 minutes until the top is golden brown. Allow the bars to cool & set then cut into bars and enjoy!  

Tips for Making Loaded SunButter Bars

Use parchment paper to line the pan with. It makes cutting and taking the bars out of the pan so easy. Once they’re cooled you just lift them out with the overhang of the parchment paper and cut. 

If needed, use binder clips to help parchment paper stay in place when filling. Be sure to remove them before placing in the oven though. 

Mix the SunButter real good.  Sometimes the oil rises to the top and even if you don’t see it, I like to make sure my seed butter is nice and smooth.  So give it a good mixing in the jar before measuring. 

Bake until “just set”. Don’t worry if your bars don’t look done.  They will continue to set and firm up when they cool.  And since these SunButter Chocolate Chunk Bars are eggless, we don’t have to worry about being undercooked.
