Ingredients

• 1 cup flaked coconut
• 1 cup raw almonds
• ½ cup raw pecan halves
• ½ cup shelled pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds
• 2 tablespoon grass fed collagen
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup butter
• ⅓ cup powdered Swerve Sweetener
• 2 tablespoon Swerve Brown
• ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
• ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips, sugar-free (optional)

Instructions

• Preheat the oven to 300F and line an 8x8 inch metal pan with parchment paper (with a little of the parchment overhanging the sides for easy removal).
• In a food processor, combine the coconut, almonds, pecans, and pumpkin seeds. Process on high until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs in texture.
• Add the collagen and salt, and pulse a few times to combine, then transfer the mixture to a large mixing bowl.
• In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter with the sweeteners, whisking until they dissolve. Stir in the vanilla extract.
• Stir the butter mixture into the nut mixture until thoroughly combined, then stir in the chocolate chips, if using. Transfer to the prepared baking pan.
• Press evenly into the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Use a flat-bottomed glass or measuring cup to really press it down and compact it as much as possible.
• Bake 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are turning golden brown. Let cool completely in the pan and then lift them out by the parchment. Use a very sharp knife and cut them into bars (cutting straight down works much better than sawing away at them).
