My Version of the Primal Energy Bar

primalbar

Ingredients

1 c. nuts (I like all almonds, but can use walnuts, pecans or a combo)

1/4 c. hazelnut or other nut meal

1/4 c. nut butter

1/4 c. coconut oil

1/4 c. unsweetened, shredded coconut (reserve a few handfuls for topping)

1/2 c. dried fruit such as cranberries, goji berries, blueberries

dash of vanilla extract

dash of sea salt

Directions

Combine coconut butter and nut butter and melt over low heat on the range top, stirring constantly, or if you have lots of time and want it to be raw, put in the dehydrator to melt. Once melted, add in vanilla and sea salt.

Process nuts and coconut in food processor, but not entirely, it’s nice to have some texture.  Combine with hazelnut meal.  Add dried fruit.

Mix the nut mixture with the coconut/nut butter mixture and mix thoroughly.  Put into container lined with parchment paper.  Sprinkle coconut on top.
