I made these yesterday morning and they turned out amazing. Massive amounts of protein, omegas 6 and 3's as well as fiber. These power bars are low glycemic, low sugar and gluten free. This recipe is very forgiving and can be varied quite a bit. I made a second batch where I added chia seeds, hemp seeds and whole flax. You will find a little goes a long ways. They are very filling and will sustain you through the morning.
Place almonds, flax meal, shredded coconut, whey powder, almond butter, and salt in a food processor.
Pulse briefly, about 10 seconds.
In a small sauce pan, melt coconut oil over very low heat.
Remove coconut oil from stove; stir Fructevia, Steviva Blend or a dash Pure Stevia Powder and vanilla in melted oil.
Add coconut oil mixture to food processor and pulse until ingredients form a course paste.
Press mixture into an 8x8 glass baking dish oiled with coconut oil to reduce sticking.
Chill in refrigerator for 1 hour, until mixture hardens.
In a double boiler, melt chocolate, stirring in Fructevia, Steviva Blend or a dash to taste of Pure Stevia Powder and cinnamon.
Spread melted chocolate over bars; return to refrigerator for 30 minutes, until chocolate hardens.
Remove from refrigerator, cut into bars, and serve. Deeeeelish!
