Calories 214kcal
Ingredients
- 1½ cups sprouted nuts + seeds I used a combo of chopped sprouted almonds, sprouted sunflower seeds, and sprouted pumpkin seeds
- ½ cup flaked coconut chopped
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 ounces dark chocolate chopped
Instructions
- Line an 8x8” square pan with parchment paper and lightly grease with coconut oil. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sprouted nuts & seeds, flaked coconut, kosher salt, and cinnamon.1½ cups sprouted nuts + seeds, ½ cup flaked coconut, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Stir together the almond butter, maple syrup, and coconut oil in a small microwave-safe bowl or liquid measuring cup. Microwave the mixture for 30 seconds - it should be hot and pour easily. Stir in the vanilla extract.½ cup creamy almond butter, ¼ cup maple syrup, 2 tablespoons coconut oil, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pour the nut butter/maple syrup mixture over the dry ingredients and stir until all of the dry ingredients are coated.
- Pour the sticky mixture into the prepared pan and then use a flat-bottomed drinking glass, measuring cup, or spatula to press the mixture into a firm, even layer in the pan. Cover and place in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before cutting into 10 granola bars - the longer you let them set, the less crumbly they'll be when you cut into them.
- After the bars are cut, place the dark chocolate in a small microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Use a fork to drizzle the chocolate over the bars, or put the melted chocolate in a small Ziplock/piping bag and snip the corner to drizzle over the bars.2 ounces dark chocolate
- Store the granola bars in a sealed bag or container in the refrigerator for 2 weeks or in the freezer for a few months.
Notes
I got my sprouted almonds, sprouted sunflower seeds, and sprouted pumpkin seeds from Nuts.com. You can also find them at many health food stores.
