Paleo Coconut Bars


I have been cooking up a storm!  I have a ton of new recipes to post, but it might take me a while to get them all up.  This recipe for coconut bars is super easy, gluten-free, grain-free, and almost guilt free (does contain honey).

Paleo Coconut Bars

Ingredients:

3 Eggs
1 Cup Coconut Milk (use Thai Kitchen brand, full fat version)
1/3 Cup Coconut Oil
1/3 Cup Honey
1 TBSP Vaniilla Extract
1/2 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
1 TBSP Coconut Flour
1 1/2 Cups Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
1/4 tsp Sea Salt
1/4 cup Dark Chocolate (optional, but highly desirable)

Method:

Heat oven to 350 F. Mix eggs, coconut milk, honey, and vanilla in food processor or blender.  Pulse in almond flour, coconut flour, shredded coconut and salt.

Place mixture into 8x8 dish (glass or metal baking dish is fine).

Bake for 30 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean.

Place chocolate chips in ziplock baggie and melt in microwave for 1 minute.  Squish chocolate into one corner and snip a tiny hole in the that corner with scissors.  Squeeze chocolate zigzags all over coconut bars to make them pretty.  Cool in fridge.  Serve chilled.
