Ingredients

The following ingredients have 10 Servings
  • 1 cup raw buckwheat (I like using Bobs Red Mill)
  • 1 cup raw or roasted pistachios (if using raw, add 1/2 teaspoon salt)
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1/2 cup chia seeds
  • 1/2 cup cocoa nibs
  • 1/2 cup hemp seeds
  • 1 cup + 1 heaping tablespoon creamy almond butter (divided)
  • 1 cup honey (use maple syrup if vegan)
  • 1/2 cup coconut sugar * (may sub granulated sugar)
  • 3 cups dark chocolate chips (use vegan chocolate if needed)

Instruction

  • Rub a 9x13 inch baking dish with coconut or olive oil.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the buckwheat, pistachios, coconut, slivered almonds, chia seeds, cocoa nibs and hemp seeds. Add a pinch of salt if using raw pistachios.
  • In a large pot, add the almond butter, honey and coconut sugar. Set the pot over medium heat, stirring often until melted and smooth. Once the mixture starts to bubble, let it cook 1 minute and then immediately remove from the heat.
  • Working quickly, add the seed/nut mix to the almond butter mixture and stir until combined. Press into the prepared the pan.
  • Melt the chocolate chips with 1 heaping tablespoon almond butter in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until melted and smooth or melt over low heat on the stove. Pour the melted chocolate/almond butter over the bars and spread in an even layer. Sprinkle the top with cocoa nibs if desired, cover and place in the fridge for 1-2 hours or until firm.
  • Cut into 18-24 bars. Store for up to 1 week in the fridge or 4 days on the counter in a cool place. My family personally loves these straight from the fridge!
