Ingredients
Mint Layer
- 2 Hass avocados (about 8-10 oz / 200-300 grams each)
- 1/2 cup low-carb sweetener (see Recipes Notes for alternatives)
- 3/4 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 3/16 teaspoon stevia (6 scoops; see How to Use Stevia)
- 4 cups shredded unsweetened coconut
- 3/8 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate Layer
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup low-carb sweetener (blended preferred for smoothness--see Recipes Notes for subs)
- 1/2 cup cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Mint Layer
- Lightly grease an 8x8 pan.
- Place all ingredients in high powered blender (such as a Blendtec or Vitamix) or a food processor. Process until blended. If you prefer the texture of coconut in the finished result, do not process completely.
- Spread mixture into prepared pan and place in freezer.
Chocolate Layer
- In small saucepan, melt coconut oil and sweetener over low heat.
- Remove from heat, add in remaining ingredients, and stir to combine.
- Pour over chilled bottom layer. Return to the freezer until the chocolate layer is solid--about 15 minutes.
- Cut into bars using a warmed knife (see Recipe Notes above)
- Store covered in the refrigerator or freezer.
Notes
- Sweetener: Any healthy sweetener can be used. If using stevia, use 1/8 teaspoon for the mint layer and 1/16 teaspoon for the chocolate layer. It's better to not use stevia in the mint layer if possible, though, since the bars will taste better using a variety of sweeteners. For AIP, use organic coconut sugar.
- Stevia: See this post for information on measuring and using stevia.
- Peppermint: You can substitute 9 drops peppermint essential oil for the peppermint extract. (I recommend Rocky Mountain Oils. You can read why here)
- Carob: Substitute organic carob for the cocoa to have a caffeine-free treat or for AIP - this adds more carbs.
- THM: For those on the Trim Healthy Mama plan, this recipe qualifies as an "S."
- Cutting Tips: Using a warmed knife will help the cutting process so that the topping doesn't crack and you can cut more smoothly.
- Pan: Any size pan will work but the bars will be thicker or thinner depending on the size.
