Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup raw almonds
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1/4 cup pecan chips
  • 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons allulose (see note)
  • 2 tablespoons granular monk fruit sweetened
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Line a 1-quart rectangular (about 7×4- inch) baking pan with parchment paper.
  • Coarsely chop the almonds and coconut flakes by pulsing in a food processor (about 30 seconds). Stir in the pecan chips, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the sweetener and coconut cream over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and allow to boil, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and turns golden, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir the nuts, seeds, and coconut flakes into the syrup. Spread the mixture out onto the prepared pan with a rubber spatula, pressing it down into the pan. Allow to cool slightly, then sprinkle the choco late chips on top and press them into the mixture.
  • Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Once solid, lift the parchment paper out of the pan and place on a cutting board. Cut into 6 bars using a sharp knife.

Notes

NOTE:
It’s not recommended to use an erythritol-based sweetener by itself as too much erythritol can result in a crystallization of the sweetener after it’s been melted. If you can’t get allulose, xylitol will work. Or you could use a non- erythritol-based sweetener like granular kabocha extract sweetener instead of the allulose and granular monk fruit.
