Free of the Top 6 Allergens Commonly Found in Baked Goods—Dairy, Eggs, Tree Nuts, Peanuts, Wheat, and Soy (see note on coconut below)
Everyone I share these bars with goes crazy for them. They aren’t for the low carb dieter, but they are a nourishing snack for healthy individuals who process carbohydrates efficiently.
note: These bars contain coconut flour. The Food and Drug Administration recognizes coconut as a tree nut. While allergic reactions to coconut have been documented, most people who are allergic to tree nuts can safely eat coconut.
Ingredients
1/4 cup arrowroot flour/starch
1 Tbsp. freshly ground flax seed
1 Tbsp. potato starch
2 tsp. coconut flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. sea salt
2/3 cup coconut sugar
1 cup tahini
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup sustainably harvested palm shortening

2 chia eggs
1 cup Enjoy Life dark chocolate chips
Procedure
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8 1/2 by 8 1/2 baking dish with sustainably harvested palm oil.
2. In a medium bowl whisk together the first 6 ingredients through sea salt. Set aside.
3. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine the coconut sugar, tahini, honey, palm shortening, and vanilla. Beat on medium speed until well combined.
