Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 cup raw unsalted almonds, roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup chia seeds
- 1/4 cup flax seeds
- 1/2 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- Pinch of fine sea salt
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 Tbsp. coconut oil, in liquid form
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 8 oz. good-quality dark chocolate
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine almonds, chia seeds, flax seeds, coconut flakes, and a pinch of salt.
- Whisk together honey, coconut oil, and vanilla. Pour over the dry ingredients. Stir until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
- Spread onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a wooden spoon to pat down the mixture into an even thin layer.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until golden and toasted. Set aside to cool completely. It will harden as it cools.
- Melt the chocolate over a double boiler or in a microwave, heating and stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Spread the chocolate in an even layer over the nut mixture.
- Transfer to a refrigerator and chill for 30 minutes, or until solid. Break into bite-size pieces and serve. Store in a sealed container for up to 1 week at room temperature in a cool place or feel free to keep refrigerated.
Notes
- Chocolate: Use good-quality dark chocolate. Brands such as Ghirardelli and Lindt make baking chocolate in 4-ounce bars. Avoid using chocolate chips.
