Mix dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together almond flour, oats, coconut flakes, baking soda, and salt.
Combine: Add dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until a thick dough forms.
Fold in chocolate chips until evenly distributed.
Transfer dough:
For bars: Press evenly into the prepared baking pan.
For cookies: Scoop into dough balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
Add topping: Sprinkle dye-free chocolate candies over the top.
Bake:
Bars: Bake for 35–40 minutes, until set and lightly golden.
Cookies: Bake for 12 minutes, until edges are golden and centers are soft.
Cool: Allow to cool before slicing (for bars) or transferring to a wire rack (for cookies).

To replace 1 egg, mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 2.5 tablespoons water. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
