Paleo Caveman Bars

Paleo Caveman Bars

My friends Josh and Janae introduced me to these bars and I just love them!  I added a little twist to the recipe by adding Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips and adding Coconut Butter. Mainly because I love those two things so why not?  These bars are super easy to make and are great to keep in the freezer when you need a little yummy snack!  

Ingredients:

1 cup pecans

1/2 cup walnuts

1 cup sliced almonds

1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut

1/2 cup almond butter...

1/4 cup coconut oil

1/4 cup coconut butter (if you don't have just use coconut oil 1/2 cup in all)

1/2 cup almond meal/flour

2 tbs vanilla extract

2 tbs organic, natural honey

1/4 cup Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips

 

Spread the nuts on a foil lined baking sheet and toast until brown. Making sure you don't burn them. 

Microwave coconut butter and coconut oil until warm and you can stir together then add in the almond butter. Stir together.  Add vanilla and honey to mixture. 

When nuts are done, blend until coarsely chopped in blender or food processor.  Set aside to cool. 

Add the coarse ground nuts to the almond butter mixture and mix thoroughly.  Add almond meal/flour and shredded coconut to mixture and then fold in the Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips. 

Using a freezer safe container, spread the mixture evenly into the pan with a spatula. 

Freeze for 25 min. Pull out and cut into squares. 

Make sure bars remain frozen until you eat them.

Enjoy!
