Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded coconut
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons blue spirulina powder
- 1/4 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the shredded coconut, almond butter, honey or maple syrup, blue spirulina powder, almond flour, and salt. This ensures all flavor components and binding agents come together.
- Mix Thoroughly: Stir the mixture well until all ingredients are evenly combined and the mixture starts to hold together, indicating it is ready to shape.
- Press Mixture Into Dish: Transfer the mixture to a lined baking dish and press it firmly down to create an even, compact layer which will help the bars hold their shape when set.
- Refrigerate to Set: Place the baking dish in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow the bars to firm up.
- Cut and Serve: Once the mixture is set and firm, remove from the fridge and cut into bars. Serve immediately or store in the fridge for later enjoyment.
Notes
- For a vegan option, use maple syrup instead of honey.
- You can substitute almond butter with any other nut or seed butter such as cashew or sunflower seed butter.
- Ensure the baking dish is lined with parchment paper to easily lift the bars out after setting.
- Store the bars in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Blue spirulina powder adds natural color and nutrients but can be adjusted according to taste or availability.
