Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 9x9-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving overhang for easy removal.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 cup almond butter with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 large egg. Mix with a wooden spoon until smooth.
  3. Step 3: Stir in 1 tsp vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 3/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 1/4 tsp salt until just combined.
  4. Step 4: Spread the dough evenly into the prepared pan with a spatula, smoothing the top. Sprinkle 1/4 cup slivered almonds evenly over the surface.
  5. Step 5: Bake for 18-20 minutes until the edges are golden and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  6. Step 6: Let cool completely in the pan on a wire rack before lifting out and cutting into bars.
