Ingredients
- 1 cup coconut unsweetened, shredded
- 3 Medjool dates pitted
- 2 Tablespoons honey or brown rice syrup
- 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter
- 1 Tablespoon mini chocolate chips
- 1 ½ Tablespoons water if needed
Instructions
- Add shredded coconut into a sauté pan over medium heat to toast. Toss consistently until the coconut shreds are golden in color. This should take about 5 minutes or so. Just be sure to watch carefully because you don't want the coconut to burn. Remove from heat and allow coconut to cool for 10 minutes.
- Add cooled toasted coconut, dates, honey, chia seeds, almond butter and chocolate chips into the base of a food processor and process until fully combined and a ball of dough stars to form. If the mixture seems a little dry and isn’t really sticking together or forming the ball, add water (up to 1 1/2 Tablespoons). Process again and the ball should form.
- Remove dough from the processor and press into an 8-inch loaf pan lined with parchment paper. Place loaf pan in the fridge for 30-60 minutes to let the bars set up. Cut into 6 bars and store in the fridge until ready to enjoy. They should last up to one week in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer.
