Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1/3 cup pecans chopped

- 1/3 cup almonds chopped
- 2/3 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
- ¼ cup pumpkin seeds and/or sunflower seeds
- ¼ cup ground flaxseed

- 1 tablespoon unsalted natural creamy homemade almond butter or store-bought
- 3 tablespoons pure maple syrup
Chocolate Drizzle

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line an 8-inch square baking pan with parchment paper or greased foil. Set aside for later.
- Add all dry ingredients to a large bowl: nuts, coconut, seeds, flaxseed, and salt if using. Stir until well mixed.
- Add all wet ingredients to a medium bowl: coconut sugar, coconut oil, almond butter and maple syrup. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula, stir and fold until very well mixed.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using the spatula, press mixture firmly down into an even, very tightly packed layer.
- Bake for 22-27 minutes. Mine took 25 minutes. Place baking pan onto a cooling rack to cool for 40-60 minutes, or until completely firm. Then, lift bars and parchment paper onto the cooling rack to finish cooling for 1-2 hours. Slice & drizzle with melted chocolate. Enjoy! Storing instructions below.
