Almond Power Bars

Also known as "Bite Me Bars"- thanks to Matt for bringing these bars back from the Twin Cities! 2 cups raw almonds 1/2 cup flax seed meal 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut 1/2 cup almond butter, unsalted, creamy 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1/4 cup coconut oil spoonful of honey spoonful of agave nectar spoonful of almond or vanilla extract - I used a combination of both totalling 1 spoonful 1 - 4 oz. bar of dark chocolate Place almonds, flax seed meal, coconut, almond butter, and sea salt in a food processor for 20 seconds. Melt coconut oil, and add in honey, vanilla (and almond extract if using), and agave nectar. Add to mixture in food processor and pulse until you get a paste. Press this mixture into a jelly roll pan. I covered about 3/4 of a 10x15 pan, but you can make them any thickness. Melt dark chocolate according to directions and drizzle over the top. Refridgerate for 30 minutes. Cut into bars. Best when served straight from the fridge. Enjoy.

  1. these are the best ever. And they do not seem to spike my insulin... Which is very rare for something that tastes so good.
