Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup almonds
- 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup granulated erythritol
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal.
- In a food processor, pulse the almonds until they are coarsely chopped. Be careful not to turn them into almond meal.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped almonds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, shredded coconut, chia seeds, and flaxseed meal.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the erythritol, ground ginger, cinnamon, cayenne pepper, and salt. Cook until the erythritol is fully dissolved.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
- Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and mix well, ensuring all the nuts and seeds are coated evenly.
- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and press down firmly into an even layer, compacting the mixture as much as possible.
- Bake for 20 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the granola bars to cool completely in the baking dish. Once cooled, use the parchment paper to lift out the slab and cut it into 10 even bars.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
Notes
- Adjust the spice level by varying the cayenne pepper.
- Use other nuts or seeds based on preference.
