Ingredients

2 1/2 cups mixed nuts
1/2 cup shredded or desiccated coconut
1 cup dried fruit, chopped dark chocolate, raw cacao nibs, seeds, etc.
1/3 cup coconut oil
1/3 cup almond butter
1/4 cup Sukrin Gold (or any brown sugar)
2/3 cup Sesame Flour
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp sea salt

Protein-packed, low-carb, sugar-free, and Paleo.

Preparation

Soak the nuts (and seeds if using) overnight with the salt.

(Whole nuts can cause digestive issues for some, which is largely due to their phytate content, an anti-nutrient that removes essential minerals from the body, and is found in grains, nuts, and seeds. Soaking them and gently roasting them as we do in this recipe removes the phytates, thus making them more digestible and much safer to eat. Adding sesame or peanut flour adds extra yum plus protein, and they are free from sugar which makes them low carb too.)

Method

Drain and rinse the soaked nuts well.
Place on a baking sheet and roast at 350F for 12-15 mins, checking and stirring regularly. Cool.
Roughly chop half the nuts. Process the rest until they begin to form a paste.
Melt together the almond butter and coconut oil, Sukrin Gold (or other brown sugar), and vanilla until the Gold is dissolved.
Stir in the nut paste and nuts, any additions, and the sesame flour.
Pack into a lined dish, allow to sit in the fridge for an hour before slicing and serving.
