I only have tried them with dark chocolate and I love them:)
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups Sliced Almonds
- 2 cups finely Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
- 1/3 cup Raw Sunflower Seeds
- 1/3 cup Raw Pepitas (Shelled Pumpkin Seeds)
- 1 Tbsp Brown Sesame Seeds
- ½ cup Blanched Almond Flour
- 1/3 cup extra virgin coconut oil, melted
- ¼ cup unsweetened, natural Almond Butter
- ¼ cup Honey
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ¾ tsp Baking Soda
- 1 Tbsp Flaxseed Meal
- 1½ Tbsp water
- ¾ cup Mini Chocolate Chips or your favorite chopped dried fruit (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325F. Grease a 9”x13” baking pan with coconut oil.
- Mix ground flax seed with water and let sit for 3-4 minutes.
- Pulse pepitas in a food processor a couple of times to break up to the size of sunflower seeds.
- Add coconut oil, almond butter, honey and vanilla to flax goop and mix well.
- Add almond flour and baking soda and stir to combine.
- Add slivered almonds, shredded coconut, pepitas, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds and chocolate chips or dried fruit. Stir to combine.
- Spoon batter into prepared baking pan. Spread out and flatten well with your hand or the back of a spatula.
- Bake for 22-23 minutes, until golden brown. They will puff up slightly while baking, so immediately after removing from the oven, flatten the bars with the back of a spatula (or something else heat resistant and flat).
- Let cool completely in pan before cutting into bars (I actually like to refrigerate before cutting). Cut into bars (I usually get 18-20) and wrap individual bars in plastic wrap for easy travel (optional). I prefer to store these in the refrigerator.
