• slivered almonds • shredded coconut • quick oats • flaxseed meal • cider vinegar • honey • almond extract • salt • chocolate chips

Ingredients

To make almond butter, place 1 cup of almonds in a mini food processor. Process, scraping sides occasionally, until the butter is the consistency of natural peanut butter.

1.

Place almond butter in a medium bowl and add all other ingredients except chocolate chips.

2.

Stir to combine, add chocolate chips to the mixture and stir again, just until combined.

3.

These freeze great (so you may want to make a triple batch, like we often do!), and they will thaw in about 20 minutes.
