My
children rave about fruit and nut bars like they have addictive
qualities, and these are no exception. They love hand held sweet-nutty
combinations of GAPS friendly ingredients! Apricots and almonds pair
together here with the addition of coconut and flax to make a
substantial snack or breakfast in a pinch.
Ingredients:
- 2 cups blanched almond meal or flour
- 1/2 cup flax meal*
- 1/2 cup roasted almond butter
- 1/2 cup dried unsweetened coconut
- 1/2 cup dried apricots
- 1/2 cup coconut oil, melted, plus extra for greasing the pan
- 1/2 teaspoon unrefined sea salt
Instructions:
- Toss all ingredients into a food processor and process until smooth.
- Grease a baking dish (9″x9″ works well) and spread the mixture evenly into the baking dish.
- Allow almond-apricot bars to harden overnight.
- Cut with a sharp knife and serve as a sweet dessert or snack.
