Ingredients

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

Chocolate Layer

Instructions

  • 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!

Notes

  1. If you can't have almond butter I recommend using sunflower seed butter or cashew butter. 
  2. Store these bars in the fridge for up to 14 days.
