Grain-free Power Balls

 Power Bars from elanspantry.com . I get many of my grain-free recipes from this site.

GRAIN-FREE POWER BARS

Ingredients:

2 cups almonds (raw)
1/2 cup golden flax seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/2 cup roasted almond butter ( i sometimes use peanut butter from Trader Joes)
1/2 t celtic sea salt
1/2 cup coconut oil
4 drops stevia
1 T honey
1 T vanilla extract
1 cup chocolate chunks (I use chocolate chips)

Place almonds, flax seed, coconut, almond butter or peanut butter and salt in a food processor. Pulse briefly, about 10 seconds. In a small sauce pan melt coconut oil over low heat. Remove and stir in stevia, honey and vanilla. Add coconut mixture to food processor and pulse until ingredients form a coarse paste. Press mixture into an 8x8 inch baking dish. Chill in refrigerator for 1  hour until mixture hardens. In small saucepan melt chocolate over low heat stirring continuously. Spread melted chocolate over bars. Return to refrigerator until bars harden. Remove and cut into bite size bars. I then store in container in freezer.
