Coconut Macadamia Bars

 

If you are looking for something different, try these coconut macadamia bars. They are easy to prepare and ready in as little as 10 minutes (plus setting time).

Ingredients

  • 4.0 oz (113.4 g) of macadamia nuts

  • 0.5 cup of coconut oil (approximately 3.8 oz or 108.0 g)

  • 40 drops of liquid stevia

  • 12.0 tbsp of unsweetened shredded coconut (approximately 2.1 oz or 60.0 g)

Instructions

  1. Place the 4.0 oz (113.4 g) of macadamia nuts into a blender or food processor and crush them thoroughly until they reach a crumbly consistency.

  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the 0.5 cup of coconut oil and the 12.0 tbsp of shredded coconut. Mix thoroughly until combined.

  3. Add the crushed macadamia nuts and the 40 drops of stevia to the bowl.

  4. Stir the mixture well to ensure the sweetener and nuts are evenly distributed.

  5. Pour the batter into a 9×9 inch baking dish lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to press it down evenly.

  6. Refrigerate the mixture overnight to allow it to set completely.

  7. Once set, lift the parchment paper out of the dish, cut the block into 9 equal pieces, and serve.

Note: If you prefer a crunchier texture, store the bars in the freezer instead of the refrigerator.

  • Coconut Oil: This is responsible for nearly half of the calorie count and acts as the binder that keeps the bars solid when chilled.

  • Shredded Coconut: Adds fiber and volume.

  • Stevia: Adds sweetness with zero calories or carbohydrates.
