Nut Butter Layer
- 500 g jar of almond butter (or use sunflower seed butter)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 tablespoon organic vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups sunflower seeds
- 1 1/2 cups coconut flakes
Place a medium sized pot on the stove on low heat.
Add the first 4 ingredients for the nut butter layer and heat until melted together, stirring often.
Once melted together remove the pot from the heat and stir in the sunflower seeds and coconut flakes.
Transfer the ingredients to a 9" x 9" baking pan and press down well to form an even layer.
Place the pan in the freezer for ~1 hour.
Make the chocolate layer while the pan is in the freezer by melting the ingredients together in a small pot on the stove on medium heat, stirring the ingredients together until combined.
Remove the pan from the freezer and add the chocolate layer (pour it on top of the nut butter layer and spread evenly with a spoon or knife).
Return to the freezer for an additional hour.
Remove from freezer and cut the bars into desired size pieces.
Serve and enjoy!
- If you can't have almond butter I recommend using sunflower seed butter or cashew butter.
- Store these bars in the fridge for up to 14 days.
