Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Dried unsweetened apricots
- 1 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Unsalted almond butter
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang for easy removal later.
In a food processor, combine the dried unsweetened apricots and unsweetened shredded coconut. Pulse until the mixture is finely chopped and begins to clump together.
Add the almond flour, almond butter, coconut oil, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt to the food processor. Blend until the mixture forms a sticky, cohesive dough.
Transfer the dough into the prepared baking pan and press it down firmly with your hands or the back of a spatula, ensuring the layer is even and compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
Remove the pan from the oven and let it cool completely in the pan before transferring it to the refrigerator for about 1 hour to firm up.
Once chilled, lift the bars out of the pan using the parchment paper overhang and place them on a cutting board.
Cut into 12 equally sized bars and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
