chocolate chip almond butter bars

This is basically my brownie recipe minus the cocoa powder. I have been using this for "special occasion" treats and my family loves them. They are grain and dairy free and they could be a GAPS friendly snack if honey is used instead of maple syrup and if you leave out the chocolate.

1 jar of creamy, roasted, and salted almond butter(peanut butter could be used instead)
3 eggs
1 1/4 cup of maple syrup(honey or any liquid sweetener could be substituted)
2 tsp vanilla
1 bag dark chocolate chips
Put all ingredients in a large bowl except for the chips.
Mix w/ a hand mixer until smooth.
Fold chips into batter.
Scrape batter into a 13x9 baking dish.
Bake at 325 degrees for 30-40 minutes(I like my softer so I let them go for 30 minutes)
