almond-bars

Ingredients

  • 1 c. almond butter (plain such as the homemade one from Natural Grocers)
  • ½ c. coconut butter (not coconut oil!)
  • 3 T. raw local honey
  • 1 c. shredded coconut (unsweetened)
  • 2 T. cacao powder
  • 3 T. coconut oil melted

Topping½ c. dark chocolate (I use Enjoy life brand or Lilly’s)

2 T. roasted salted sunflower seeds (optional)

Directions

  1. In med. size bowl, blend the almond butter, coconut butter, coconut, honey, powder and oil and blend until well combined.
  2. Press the mixture into a 8×8 pan (I line my pan with parchment for easier removal and cleanup)
  3. Keep in fridge until firm
  4. Melt the chocolate and spread over the firm bars. Sprinkle with seeds if desired.  Chill again.
  5. When chocolate is hard, cut bars. I find it is easier to flip over the bar and cut this way instead.
  6. These freeze well.
