1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with unbleached parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
2. Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl: coconut, nuts, chocolate chips, flaxseed, and salt (if using). Stir until well mixed.
3. Add all wet ingredients to a medium bowl: coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk until well incorporated.
4. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until very well mixed.
5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the spatula, press mixture firmly down into an even, very tightly packed layer.
6. Bake for 16-20 minutes. Mine took 18 minutes. Place baking pan onto a cooling rack to cool for 50-60 minutes, or until completely firm. Lift bars and parchment paper onto the cooling rack. Allow to finish cooling for 1-2 hours. Slice into 12-18 bars. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
