Discover how to make delicious and healthy low-carb energy bars at home with this nutritionist-approved recipe.
Equipment
- Convection oven
Ingredients
- 1 cup almonds, walnuts, pecans (mixed raw nuts)
- 1 cup rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
- 2 tbsp unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tbsp erythritol (or other low-carb sweetener)
- 2 tbsp melted coconut oil (or grass-fed butter)
- 2 oz dark chocolate (70% or higher)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch marine salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking dish with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the nuts until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to over-process them into a flour.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped nuts, oats, shredded coconut, sweetener, and sea salt.
Add the melted coconut oil (or butter) and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.
Press the mixture firmly and evenly into the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
While the base is cooling, melt the dark chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals.
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cooled base.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
Cut into 10 bars and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
