Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Shredded unsweetened coconut
- 1 cup Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips (optional: sugar-free)
- 0.333 cup Almond butter (unsweetened)
- 0.25 cup Honey (or sugar-free syrup for keto-friendly version)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 1 pinch Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the shredded coconut, rolled oats, and chia seeds. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine almond butter and honey. Microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and warmed through.
Stir the vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt into the warmed almond butter and honey mixture.
Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir thoroughly until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
If using dark chocolate chips, fold them gently into the mixture at this stage.
Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, drop portions of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Shape them into mounds to resemble haystacks, pressing gently to help them hold together.
Refrigerate the haystacks for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
Once set, transfer the haystacks to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.
