🛒 Ingredients:
- ½ cup raw almonds (chopped or roughly crushed)
- 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut (optional)
- 2 tbsp almond butter
- 1½ tbsp honey or maple syrup
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- A pinch of sea salt
👩🍳 Instructions:
- Prepare Dry Mix
In a large bowl, mix chopped almonds, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, shredded coconut (if using), and a pinch of sea salt. - Heat Wet Ingredients
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine almond butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir constantly until smooth and slightly runny—about 2–3 minutes. Do not boil. - Combine & Mix
Pour the warm wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly until all components are well-coated. - Shape the Bars
Line a small dish or container (roughly 5×5 inches) with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the dish to form an even, compact layer. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the top. - Chill to Set
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm. Once set, lift from the container and cut into 2 bars (or more if you prefer smaller portions). - Serve or Store
Enjoy immediately, or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
💡 Tips & Notes:
- Extra Crunch? Toast almonds beforehand at 160°C (325°F) for 8–10 minutes for a roasted flavor.
- Vegan Option: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Boost It: Add 1 tsp maca powder or collagen peptides (if not vegan) for additional hormone or skin benefits.
- Make-Ahead Friendly: These bars freeze well—wrap individually for grab-and-go snacks.
