Grain-Free Coconut Granola Bars
Servings: 16
Preparation Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups nuts (raw almonds, pecans, walnuts), finely chopped
- 2 cups finely shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons almond flour
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted
- 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line an 8 x 8-inch pan with parchment paper or use a silicone muffin pan. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine nuts, coconut, cinnamon, salt, chocolate chips, and almond flour.
In a small bowl mix together coconut oil, honey/maple syrup, and almond butter.
Pour the coconut oil mixture on the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. Add the egg and stir again.
Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and press down firmly and as evenly as possible. This is an important step to get the bars to hold together.
Bake for 30 minutes. The edges will be slightly brown.
Once removed from the oven, press down again using a spatula.
Store covered at room temperature.
