Process

Cook Mode

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Line an 8" x 4" loaf pan with parchment paper.
In your food processor, combine the almonds, coconut, collagen, hemp seeds and salt. Blend until well pulverized.
Add in the maple syrup and vanilla. Blend.
If needed, add in the water, one tablespoon at a time. You want the mixture to clump and it should easily hold it's shape when pressed together.
Scoop the bar mixture into your lined loaf pan. Firmly press it into the pan in a nice, even layer.
Melt the dark chocolate* for the topping, then mix in the almond butter.
Pour the topping over the bars and spread out to the edges.
Place the bars in the fridge for at least one our to firm.
Once the bars have set, cut them to desired size (I cut mine into 12 small rectangles).
Best stored in an airtight container in the fridge, up to two weeks.

Notes

*To melt the dark chocolate: place the chocolate in a small dish and melt in the microwave at 20-30 second intervals, stirring between heating. Or, place the chocolate in a small saucepan. Melt over very low heat on the stovetop, stirring frequently until melted.
