Dark Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Bars

First, prepare the flax eggs by combining 2 tablespoons of flax with 6 tablespoons of warm water and letting it sit for 15 minutes. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: oats, almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the wet ingredients: the prepared flax eggs, melted coconut oil, almond butter, vanilla, dairy-free milk, and maple syrup. Combine the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until evenly mixed. Stir in 2/3 cup dark chocolate chips (reserving a little extra for sprinkling on top) and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened coconut flakes. Line an 8x8 baking pan with parchment paper, then press the oat mixture evenly into the pan, smoothing the top with a flat spatula or spoon. Top with the remaining chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon of coconut flakes. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes. Let cool completely before cutting into 9 squares.
