Nutty Snack Bars
A healthy homemade swap for granola bars - which can often be a sneaky spiker.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/8 cup coconut oil
- 1 tbsp monk fruit
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup coconut flakes
- 1 cup sliced almonds
- 1 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/3 cup sugar-free chocolate chips
Process
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Place a saucepan over medium heat. Add almond butter and coconut oil, stirring until combined. Remove from heat and stir in monk fruit, cinnamon, salt, vanilla extract, and 1 egg.
- Stir in coconut, nuts, and seeds. The mixture should be sticky and thick.
- Line a 8 x 8 inch baking dish with parchment paper and scoop the mixture into the dish, pressing evenly into the pan.
- Sprinkle with chocolate chips and bake for 25-35 minutes. Remove when the mixture is fragrant and starting to crisp a bit.
- Let cool completely for a stiffer snack bar, or you can enjoy it a little crumbly and warm out of the oven.
