Ingredients
  

For crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups almond flour
  • 4 Tbsp coconut palm sugar, powdered (or any granulated sugar)
  • 1/8 tsp sea salt
  • 4 Tbsp coconut oil, melted (butter or ghee can be subbed)
  • splash of pure vanilla extract

For Topping:

  • 2/3 cup fruit-sweetened strawberry preserves
  • 2 ounces of your favorite dark chocolate, chopped
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened shredded coconut

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F. Grease or line with parchment paper a 8x8 pan or large loaf pan (this is what I used) and set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients (flour through salt). Stir in coconut oil and vanilla until mixture comes holds together when pressed. If not coming together, add a touch more of oil (will depend on what flours are used, I used flours from Nuts.com).
  •  Press mixture evenly into prepared pan and bake for 10 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from oven and let cool for 1-2 minutes. While crust is still warm, spread preserves over crust then sprinkle with chopped chocolate and coconut.
  • Let cool for 15 minute and then refrigerate until hardened, about 1 hour. Cut into bars and enjoy!
